We're a couple of virgin skydivers and were made to feel very comfortable. Amazing facilities, people were so friendly and Natasha on reception desk is absolutely lovely. Caleb and Volker were our jumpers and they made us so relaxed and we felt really safe, but also had such a laugh. Views were amazing, the whole experience is just completely indescribable!... More

He pointed out beautiful sights as we were in the plane, truly amazing ! He asked if I wanted to do flips out of the plane... of course I do !!!... More

We showed up 1 hour early and the we hung out at their office. Really great vibe and so much fun seeing all the other... More

This was my 3rd skydiving experience, and the worst, and most painful experience thusfar. I'm a Registered Nurse, and my patient recommended this place, so I thought I'd check it out... since he told me about the 'barefoot landing on the beach'. Let me first say... this was not even offered when I went. The first time I booked, my... More
