Description

Skydiving might be considered utter madness, but is a thrill definitely not to be missed. Begin with around 15 minutes of instruction on skydiving and landing techniques, before ascending skywards in the plane. After thorough safety checks and being securely strapped to an instructor, perform a tandem jump from 13,000 feet, achieving around 45 seconds of adrenaline-pumping freefall. The instructor will then deploy the parachute and take the reins as the beautiful scenery unfolds during your descent back to solid ground.

Availability: This experience runs Thursday to Sunday between March and December. Please book several weeks in advance, even earlier for the most popular summer weekend dates.

Duration: Expect to be at the centre all day – the club jumps people on a first come first served basis.
