    I had an amazing time! Normally I am terrified of heights, but it felt like flying up there. I felt safe going up in the plane and jumping out of it! Definitely saving up to go again!

    Me and a friend went to celebrate us graduating from nursing school. We had SO much fun and both commented on how safe we felt during the entire experience. They were very professional and we didn't wait long to get into the plane! Literally thought about the skydive for a week after it was so great.

    What a fantastic experience. My husband and I went for our 10 year anniversary and it did not disappoint! I've had a double knee replacement, and the landing was incredible and I had no pain on impact. They were thorough, enthusiastic, and supportive as my husband was very nervous. Can't wait to go again!

    Super friendly staff. Very welcoming and helpful while going through the training. They allowed me to quote the original Point Break movie throughout the training and flight so automatically this makes them awesome. The landing was super soft at the bottom. Would definitely do it again.

    The office staff was efficient and pleasant, and the skydivers—Matt and Bradley—likewise, and experienced. I was awed by their landing skills as I watched my daughter and hubby come down from the sky! So fun and exhilarating in a friendly atmosphere. My family was in good hands. I think they’re hooked to the sky, now—I know they’ll definitely go back!
