a jump

The staff is very friendly, the location is great. The foto package didn‘t work out as expected, but they did what they could. Could be more information about the jump itself (length etc.)

Amazing - do it!

Awesome experience start to finish. Friendly reception staff, excellent set up and encouraging sky divers. I’m on the maturer scale of years around the sun and loved every minute of it. If you’re in two minds just go for it.

The absolute thrill!

My initial trip was cancelled due to weather. Fortunately, I managed to find time for me to postpone and squeeze into my itinerary. And I am glad that I did it. It was the most exciting thing I had ever done. The crew were friendly and able to calm me (who have a phobia of heights). Whole event was quite fast but it was something that i will remember for the rest of my life. I am glad I went ahead, despite my phobia of heights. Earned some bragging rights for doing this.

Must try activity!

This was my first time doing a tandem sky dive and I am so glad I did it with this company. I came to the sky dive with my husband (who is a thrill seeker and has done ski diving before). The company arranged for a shuttle bus to take us from our hotel to the sky dive centre. Then we were able to watch an introductory video. We then met our sky dive experts. My Sky dive expert was Josh and he made me feel completely at ease. Josh talked me through the safety steps to take and kept me at ease. We got into the shuttle bus to the air strip and before I knew it, I was jumping out the plane. The company follows safety guidance strictly without spoiling the thrill and excitement of the activity. Josh captured a video of our whole interaction from the dive centre right until we landed. I highly recommend using this company for doing your sky dives!!!

Surreal experience

Sam was amazing! He made sure I was calm throughout and the entire trip from take off to the jump to the landing was perfect! I felt very safe and was not afraid at all! Highly recommend! A small note the operator might change the timing of the jump so you need to keep that in mind while booking!
