Awesome! Activity to do with family and in complete safety.
Thank you for jumping with us!! We are glad you felt safe, enjoyed your experience and would recommend it for the whole family. We look forward to seeing you again.
I was so nervous. But this was simply the best experience. I would have got straight back on the plane and done it again. Outstanding Every one needs to do this and feel alive My guide Andy was simply the best. Great videos, let me have the controls. Ask for him
Thank you for the fantastic review! We love hearing that you went from feeling so nervous to wanting to jump straight back on the plane again. That's exactly the kind of transformation we hope for! Andy will be absolutely stoked to hear your kind words. He's great at helping people feel comfortable while making sure they have an unforgettable experience. And it's awesome that you enjoyed taking the controls under canopy and reliving it all through the videos. Thanks again for the recommendation. We're so glad you left feeling alive and inspired by the experience!

It was the best thing I ever did!!!!!! Was soooo amazing I had to jump twice. I was so scared of the free fall, but it wasn't bad at all. This feeling is awesome. Definitely recommend it. And the whole team is extremly amazing.
We love hearing this!! Going back up for a second jump says it all! So many people are nervous about the freefall beforehand, so it’s awesome to hear you ended up loving the feeling. Thanks so much for the kind words about the team as well, we really appreciate it. Stoked you had such an amazing experience and hopefully we’ll see you back for jump number three someday!
