I would probably recommend a jump from lower elevation (13,000) as an older person. It was thrilling and I highly recommend this company. Peter my tandem guide was excellent.

Amazing experience. What a rush! Something that I want it to do for a long time and will remember the rest of my life.
The Skydive team is meticulous, thoughtful, friendly, organized, and constantly supportive. Inspiring confidence.
They make it look easy.
Thank you Riley and team!

Love, Love, Loved it! First timer 16,500 feet! Buy the photo package, you’ll regret it if you don’t. Thank you to Jordi and Jordy, great job, the parachute opened and video and photos are a great memory of my 68th birthday.🥳❤️🥂

It was worth the wait! I got initially booked on a cloudy morning day and got rebooked on the next day in the afternoon, and I am so happy the weather cleared up and I could see mount Cool even! Despite some miscommunications was very professional and I had a great time jumping from 16,500 feet. Would do it again!
