What an awesome experience, beautiful day. Great view from up there. Thank you Cai for looking after me & making it enjoyable. Everything in me didn't want to jump but really glad I did!
Anastasia Deanshaw
Absolutely phenomenal experience. I was so nervous for two days leading up to the jump but all of my fears melted away the moment we went up. Dusans relaxed attitude made me feel really comfortable and safe. I’ve only ever wanted to do it once, a bucket list experience for me - but I can easily see why people go back time and time again. Worth every cent.
