These folks take you out on a small boat, hook you up to a parasail and let you soar over the water along the coast. It's like sitting in a swing up in the sky! From the air we spotted a manatee just hanging out near the beach. You don't ever have to touch the water if you don't want to, but if you ask they'll dip your toes in briefly as they're reeling you back in to the boat. A group of dolphins followed our boat on the way back in. All in all it's great way to soak up some sunshine and enjoy the tremendous views.
