Visitor Book Comments
Jake Mackell – Thank you so much! Had the best time & can’t wait to come back in the New Year. Adrian made the experience fun and calmed my nerves.
Holly Hannaway – Andy is a real OG, had the best time thanks guys.
Dillon Hingst – Awesome thanks so much.
They helped me overcome all my fears! It was INCREDIBLE!
So last week I did a tandem jump!!!!! Was such a mad time! 🤯🤪🤩😮🤗 I've never wanted to skydive before but was asked to do it for work, so I really quite nervous. But the team at Ramblers Toogoolawah were so professional and cool that they made it such an undeniably EPIC and INCREDIBLE experience! Would even do it again! Highly recommend jumping there.
