We had scheduled parasailing with My Own Water Sports a few days ago. Upon arriving to the location, the man told us that parasailing was cancelled due to high winds. He offered us 30 minutes of jet skis instead, but since we have already gone jet skiing and wanted to experience parasailing we declined. He told us that we could reschedule our parasailing for a few days later, so we agreed. Along with the purchase of the parasailing came round trip driver service from our hotel and back. The people who “worked” for My Own Water Sports didn’t even know what kind of car to look out for to take us back to our hotel. After about 30 minutes of waiting for their driver they told us to walk back to the beach where the man was. When we did, the man told us that the parasailing was safe to do now as he flagged down what seemed to be a random boat with a parasail passing by. The winds had actually already picked up by this time which made us more hesitant to parasail since his original statement was that it wasn’t safe. We told the man that we weren’t comfortable with parasailing since he said it wasn’t safe, he apologized and said that we could still keep the date we rescheduled to. We then waited an hour for our ride which the man told us multiple times would be there in 10 minutes, and eventually had to pay for our own taxi back to our hotel. This cost us almost $35. Unfortunately, I got COVID and we had to cancel our trip all together. We sent them an email to cancel 48 hours in advance (their policy was to cancel only 24 hours in advance). They did not email us back. We emailed them again, and they did not email us back again. We are out now $230+ and it was a waste of our time. Please be aware that if you book with this company you may be stranded at their location. They know ways to trick you into taking your money. The only good thing I have to say is that our driver, Shane, was very nice dropping us off at the location to begin. - via
