Description

For the ultimate adrenaline thrill, look no further than tandem skydiving. Not for the faint hearted, this experience offers an adrenaline rush like no other – and a chance to take in some pretty stunning views. Start with a full briefing and training session before being kitted out ready for action. After a few safety checks, get strapped to your qualified skydiving instructor and ascend skyward in an aircraft. Once at a whopping 15,000 feet, it’s time to for the main event – sit on the edge of the plane’s exit and perform a tandem skydiving jump, enjoying over 55 seconds of exhilarating freefall. Next, the instructor deploys the parachute and gently guides you both back to solid ground – a prime opportunity to take in those country views.
