Is it safe?

Ramblers Tandem Masters are among the most experienced in the country, certified by the Australian Parachute Federation. Ramblers parachute equipment is state of the art and all reserve parachutes are fitted with a ‘Cypres’ automatic activation device for maximum safety.

Ramblers employs a full-time parachute equipment Rigger thus ensuring that you will be jumping with the best maintained parachute equipment available!

When will I jump?

Both Ramblers drop zones are open 7 days a week. Jumping commences around 8am and loads fly all day, depending on the weather. Put aside half a day for your jump. Both drop zones offer a wide variety of tourist attractions, restaurants and accommodation places within the area.

What do I wear?

All skydiving equipment including jumpsuit, helmet and goggles is supplied. You may jump in whatever you feel comfortable in ie. jeans and a jumper in winter, shorts and a t-shirt in summer. It is essential that you wear good running shoes – please don’t wear the kind of hiking boots with open hooks for the laces.

Can I jump with prescription glasses?

Ramblers have goggles that fit over glasses, and contact lenses are fine. Please ensure that you tell your Instructor if you wear contacts.

Can our group all jump together?

At Toogoolawah our fabulous turbine aircraft, the Cessna Caravan, seats up to 17 people. Yes, we can take groups of up to 5 Tandems on any one load, meaning that you and 4 other friends can jump together. Weather and jumping conditions apply of course.

(At Coolum Beach we use a smaller aircraft which can take 2 Tandem pairs at a time.)

Is there accommodation?

Yes. There is bunkhouse style accommodation for all jumpers - bring your sleeping bag and pillow. There are also caravans for hire. Motel style accommodation is also available. There are also plenty of camping areas and powered sites for campers and caravans and motorhomes.
