Want to have a bird's eye view on the North Sound? Why not have a go at parasailing, sit back under a parachute and enjoy the spectacular views over the North Sound. It will be an experience to remember.

parasailing / vuelo por tiro

This question has been asked before and the consensus was that parasailing is left untranslated in Spanish. I also found a site that called it vuelo por tiro

parapente = paragliding
ala delta = hang-gliding

Paragliding is also not Parasailing. Parasailing is done with a round parachute that is usually towed behind a boat. Unlike paragliding, the person being towed has little control over the parasail. Paragliding is not hang gliding. Hang gliders have a metal frame and fly in faster winds with the pilot steering by pushing and pulling on a metal bar.

Another extract from the English link above:
What is paragliding?
Paragliding is a new flying sport which began in the French Alps during the mid 80\'s. The French call it PARAPENTE (pronounced para-pont). Paragliders, as we call them in the U.S. are loosely based on the ram-air, square parachutes that skydivers use
