Mykonos: Super Paradise Beach Watersport Activities
Book on GetYourGuide →Operated by Super Paradise Watersports · Bookable on GetYourGuide
Super Paradise Beach watersports feel like recess on a Greek island. You pick from a few adrenaline rides on the bay, then go out with an instructor and a speedboat driver. My favorite part is how quickly it turns from paperwork to speed—no long hang time.
I also like the simple, hands-on format: life jacket on, equipment rental sorted, short safety briefing, then you’re literally holding on. If you end up with staff like Alex and Nico, the energy is upbeat and the vibe stays fun even when you get splashed.
One consideration: this is not a sit-and-watch activity. If you’re not comfortable with water sports, height, or you’re a non-swimmer, it’s not for you, and people with mobility issues or pregnancy also need to skip it.

Key Things to Know Before You Go

- Quick in-and-out timing: you’re looking at about 10 minutes on the water (check available slots), with a short pre-ride briefing
- A choice of rides: banana boat, crazy sofa, spin ring, airstream, plus tandem parasailing or a flyboard
- You’re not doing it alone: instructor-led with a speedboat driver doing the hard part
- Flyboard height up to 45 feet: water-jet propulsion lifts you high above the bay
- Photos are part of the experience: the crew takes pictures you can purchase afterward
Super Paradise Bay: Choosing Your Speedboat Ride

This is a watersports package built around choices. At Super Paradise Beach you’ll find the whole buffet: banana boats, crazy sofas, spin rings, and airstream-style rides—plus optional sky time with tandem parasailing or a flyboard. The rides are shared, so the “group chaos” factor is real in a good way.
Here’s the key idea for planning: the bay setup means you’re not trekking across the island. You’re staying right by Super Paradise Beach waters, so you get maximum action and minimum waiting. If your Mykonos days are already packed with beach time, bars, and bus rides, this kind of activity is an efficient way to add something memorable without losing half your day.
And yes, you’ll get wet. These rides are dragged at speed over waves, so even if you think you’ll stay dry, you’re guessing. That’s part of the charm.

From Check-In to Safety Briefing: The 15 Minutes That Matter

The format is simple, and it moves fast. Arrive 15 minutes before your activity starts so you can check in, get your bearings, and be ready when your slot begins. This is not one of those experiences where you can stroll in late and hope it works out.
Before you ride, there’s a short safety briefing. It’s not an essay, but it covers what you need: how to sit or hold on, what to listen for during the run, and the basic rules so the whole group stays safe. Expect it to be handled by the instructor. The activity is offered with English and Greek-speaking staff, so communication tends to be straightforward.
Also note what the company provides: life jackets are included, and there’s equipment rental. That takes the stress out of the “what do I need to bring” question.
Banana Boats, Crazy Sofas, and Spin Rings: The Group Fun Part

If you like loud laughter, this is where it happens. The core rides—banana boat, spin ring, airstream, and crazy sofa—are all group activities. You’ll climb on with the rest of your group, then hold on as the speedboat driver pulls you across the water.
What’s special about these rides is that they’re equal parts technique and comedy. You don’t need training. You need grip, balance, and a sense of humor about the fact that you’re bouncing around in waves. When the run starts, it becomes a quick game: hold on as long as you can, try not to get thrown, and hope you’re the last one still clinging to your spot.
A couple practical points I think you’ll care about:
- Wear swimwear that can handle rubbing and speed. Loose covers that flop around can turn annoying fast.
- If you wear goggles, they might help for you personally—but keep in mind the activity is meant to be wet and wild.
And if you’re booking with friends, this is a solid “we all do the same thing” choice. It’s easy to share the moment afterward, especially because the crew takes pictures you can buy later.
Tandem Parasailing Over the Ocean (and Why It Feels Different)

Parasailing is the speed-contrast option. Instead of scrambling on a moving object, you and a partner ride up and hover above the water. The experience is tandem parasailing, so you’re not solo in the sky.
What I like about parasailing here is the contrast with the water-level rides. The group chaos fades, and you get a view from above the bay. You still get the thrill, but it’s more about floating and looking out than holding on through bouncing waves.
One planning thought: if you’re nervous about height or you hate being restrained, try to judge honestly. This activity can be exciting, but it’s not the same kind of “fun” as the banana boat where you can focus on the splashy chaos.
Flyboard Up to 45 Feet: The Water-Jet Reality Check

The flyboard is the showpiece. Using water jet propulsion, it can lift you up to 45 feet in the air. That means you’re not just bouncing—there’s real altitude involved.
Here’s how to think about it if you’re considering the flyboard: it’s intense, even if the time on the board feels short. You’ll be focused on balance and control, and you’ll likely be watching the water and your position more than enjoying relaxed sightseeing. It’s more “challenge” than “float.”
Also remember the activity is not for everyone. It’s listed as not suitable for non-swimmers and not suitable for pregnant women or people with mobility impairments. With flyboarding, that matters even more because you’ll be dealing with a high-energy environment.
If you’re the type who wants a single standout moment, flyboard is often the best bet—just be ready to earn it with your attention.
Price and What You Actually Get for $33.88

At $33.88 per person, this can feel like a bargain or a splurge depending on what you compare it to. The value here comes from what’s included in that price.
You get:
- Life jacket
- Equipment rental
- Instructor
- Speedboat driver
So you’re not paying extra just to have someone supervise basic safety and operate the boat. You’re also not juggling your own gear.
What’s not included:
- Hotel pickup and drop-off
- Food and drinks
That means you should plan to get yourself to the beach area and sort snacks separately. If your day in Mykonos includes a beach lunch anyway, you’re fine. If you were hoping this would be a full half-day with pickup and a meal included, you’ll need to adjust expectations.
Also, consider the group size: this is a minimum of two up to five persons. In practice, that can make it great for small friend groups or couples who want private or small-group attention without paying for a full-on private charter.
Locker, IDs, and the Small Stuff That Keeps the Fun Going

You’ll want to travel light but not careless. Bring:
- Passport or ID card
- Swimwear
There’s a locker provided with a key for your personal belongings. That’s one of those details that saves you from constantly worrying where your phone or wallet is. Use it.
Two more rules matter:
- Alcohol and drugs aren’t allowed.
- This is a water-and-speed activity, so plan like you’re going to get hit with spray and salt.
If you wear jewelry, I’d skip anything valuable or that can snag. The rides are physical, and straps or chains can turn into a distraction.
Languages, Staff Energy, and How You’ll Feel During the Ride

The instructor speaks English and Greek. That’s helpful if your Greek is basic (mine would be basically nonexistent). It also means you can get quick answers to practical questions before you go.
One thing that comes through clearly is that the staff keeps the mood up. People talk about the crew taking pictures for memories, and if you’re lucky enough to ride with staff like Alex and Nico, the friendliness seems to add to the whole experience rather than just being background service. Since you’re doing a high-energy activity, that kind of supportive vibe matters.
Who This Is For (and Who Should Skip)

This is a high-energy watersports choice for people who like action. I think it fits best if you:
- Want a shared ride with friends or a small group
- Like the idea of multiple options in one place (banana boat, sofa, parasailing, flyboard)
- Are comfortable swimming and handling being splashed
You should skip it if you are:
- Not a non-swimmer (this is explicitly not suitable)
- Pregnant
- Dealing with mobility impairments
- Looking for a calm, low-motion experience
If you’re trying to decide between water-level rides and the sky options, think about your comfort. Banana boat-style rides are chaotic fun on the waves. Parasailing is steadier and above the water. Flyboard is the most technical and intense because you’re dealing with balance at height.
My “Should You Bring This” Checklist for Super Paradise
Keep it simple:
- Swimwear that stays put
- Passport/ID
- If you use them, goggles you’re okay losing splash coverage on
Then handle the rest with common sense:
- Bring nothing you’d hate to have splashed
- If you want photos, be ready to buy the digital set after the activity
One neat detail: people have reported buying around 40 digital pictures for 20 euros, and they’re well captured. If you’re the type who wants a souvenir without buying a whole photo package on the spot, it’s worth looking into when you finish.
Should You Book Super Paradise Watersports?
Yes, if you want a short, action-heavy Mykonos add-on that feels properly supervised. The biggest reason to book is the mix: you can ride something that pulls you across waves, then choose the sky moments with parasailing or the flyboard. With life jackets, equipment, and instruction included, it’s a straightforward way to spend money on an experience, not on logistics.
Skip it if you want gentle sightseeing, if you’re not comfortable in the water, or if height and motion would stress you out. Also, remember there’s no hotel pickup—so this is easier if you’re already planning to be around Super Paradise Beach.
If you can handle speed, splashes, and a quick safety briefing, this is exactly the kind of “do it once” watersports that becomes your group story for the rest of the trip.
