Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had a great time with our parasailing adventure. We had 7 of us going and they booked us for 4:30 but had an immediate opening and they got us right in. The experience was amazing and my wife and I had a great time. Had some issues after the fact with a few charges but they worked with us on that and had great customer service. Highly recommend and the guys working the boat that day were fabulous too.

Fun short excursion!! Our group was expecting it to be a bit longer (like an an hour)…only took about 20 minutes but it was super fun!! Captain JJ was hilarious & kind & did a good job of communicating while on the excursion.

Captain JJ did an awesome job with our mix group of kids on the banana boat. Mom might of fell off but maybe partially on purpose for the kids.

We had a wonderful time on the Banana Boat Ride. We were glad this was available right In Miramar Beach and didn't have to drive. Check in staff were nice and the onboarding staff member and Captain JJ were awesome! Next time we will try parasailing!
