Eric Kirby and Ben Hildebrand para-gliding with the "Dino-Soar" Operation.
Dino-Soar was an illegal parasailing tour around Isla Sorna operated by Enrique Cardoso. The business appears in Jurassic Park III.
History[]
The tour business likely formed a few years after the events of The Lost World: Jurassic Park, due to the fact that the public had full knowledge of the dinosaurs on Isla Sorna. The island, however, was closed to the public and entering it without strict permission was considered trespassing. Dino-Soar took advantage of this and began giving tours of the island illegally in order to make money.
Jurassic Park III[]

The Dino-Soar in action
Ben Hildebrand and Eric Kirby took a tour of the island with Dino-Soar. As the boat enters a river basin on the island's edge, a large predator (likely the Pteranodons) is heard jumping into the water, resulting in waves that hit the boat. Enrique instructs his driver to move the boat away from the noise as it enters a thick fog. When the boat emerges from the fog, both Enrique and his driver were gone, with the boat partially destroyed and smeared with blood.[1] As a result of the unmanned craft crashing into nearby rocks in the shallows, Ben and Eric were forced to unhook themselves and land on the island. While it is unknown what happened to the tour after that, it is likely that the business ceased operation afterwards. The pair then landed on the island, kickstarting the plot of the film.
