“Just an amazing experience! And so easy. You book it and get picked up at a stated time, taken straight to the jump point then returned to your hotel immediately after! We have been considering this for about 4 years and this year decided to go for it. Wow! What an experience. I was a little bit apprehensive but no need - the guides make you feel totally at ease and know so much about their profession you feel totally safe and looked after. Can't recommend highly enough! The "in the sky" bit is just amazing and the landing was effortless. Felt like i was in a James Bond film!…”
