Visitor Book Comments

Tim Whyte – Cannot recommend Ramblers highly enough. Thanks to Darren.
Brodie Duncalf – Absolutely awesome experience.
Jason White – Rock’n’…Roll.  Best experience of my life.

I'm a new jumper and it was heaven on earth for me! 
You always get to $14000 feet and you are surrounded by fun jumpers with crazy skill keen to teach. 
If you haven't been go!! To say I love it is an understatement. I'll be back very soon!!
