What a experience! I did the 20,000 feet jump and it was the most beautiful place to do it! My jumper buddy was so cool! He made me feel excited and was like I was doing it with my best friend ????. All staff were lovely. Well worth the four days I stayed waiting for the weather to permit but then got a stunner day ☺️. Highly recommend!

Staff there made sure that safety is of the top priority and they are very friendly as well. Would also point out to you the different sights as you fly over in the plane and they also make it a point to calm your nerves. Extremely fun experience and would definitely go for a second jump!

For me this was a chance to tick off two of my bucket list items all in one - ride in a helicopter and stand on a glacier. What an incredible experience. Andrew (the pilot) made sure he told us all we needed to know (both in terms of helicopter safety and what we were seeing). We had a good amount of time on the glacier where things were pointed out to us around the area. The team on the ground were so helpful and cheerful on what was obviously a busy day. I had an epic time and I cannot recommend this experience more ... definitely worth it ... the views are amazing. Thank you team.

We had our Parasailing cancelled on a sunday lunchtime and decided to ring up and see if their was availability for the kids to fly. We were a large group of 51 in total although not all chose to fly. The staff were outstanding, helpful and worked out times for everyone in the group that wanted to fly. The kids loved the whole experience. Friendly and helpful staff, relaxed our kids, answered all our questions and were just outstanding!
