I got a gift card for a tandem jump (you jump with someone experienced strapped to you) for my birthday. I'm really afraid of heights, but I've been wanting to try this to conquer my fear. Their website is really helpful and detailed. It tells you what to wear, what to expect, a step by step guide to what will happen, etc. I brought a ton of snacks, but I didn't eat any of them. It was still nice to have them though in case I had gotten hungry. When I arrived, i went to register. The receptionist was extremely friendly and answered all my questions. She told me that the first load is getting ready and I'm waiting for the second load, so I took a seat outside and watched everyone around me. The people there seemed like a super tight knit group. There were really cute dogs too :) After the first load jumped and landed, my coach, Glenn, came over to get me in my jumpsuit and harness. We were a bit late, so he gave me a 1min crash course on what's going to happen and he got on the plane. We were really cramped in the plane, but it was fine! We got to watch the ground get farther and farther away and we ended up way above the clouds (14000 feet). I put my goggled on, we got to the door, my coach reminded me of what I would have to do and we jumped! After about 5sec, he tapped my shoulder and I spread me arms. It was incredible! I completely understand why people get addicted to this! Tip: remember to breathe! I really had to focus to exhale, but then the inhale came naturally. When we got to cloud level, we opened the parachute, took the goggles off and slowly went down. My coach pointed out different sights and he got me to help him fly the parachute. The landing went well, my coach talked me through the whole process and before I knew it, it was over! I got my certificate of awesomeness and I was on my way! This is the cheapest place in the area and they offer to price match if you find a cheaper place! 10/10 would recommend this to anyone, old or young (18+). When I was free falling, it wasn't scary at all. It was simply exhilarating. read more

My friend and I did our first ever jump here. We were quite nervous, but the staff were confident, cheerful, made lots of jokes, and didn't make fun of any of my stupid questions. We ended up having a great time...squatting down in the small doorway of the plane when you're about to jump is quite a terrifying moment, but my instructor Serge made me feel confident that we would make it back down to Earth. The freefall was incredible... almost a minute of flying towards the ground...difficult experience to explain but I loved every second of it. After the parachute deployed, floating down towards the ground made me a bit dizzy/motion sick but it was well worth it. I'm so glad I did it. They give you a cute certificate of awesomeness when you finish. We went from arriving on site to landing on the ground in less than an hour and a half, so we didn't need to eat any of the snacks we packed... too nervous to, anyway! But they had a water cooler on site, which was appreciated. They also have a vending machine, if you're desperate and didn't bring anything to munch on. They offer video packages for $90 or $120 extra. I think I would do it again someday. Definitely glad I went through with it, and I would recommend this place in a second. It's about a 3 hours drive from Toronto (without traffic), so if were to go again, I would probably opt to spend a night in Gananoque and explore the lovely scenery so I wouldn't have to do all that driving in one day. read more

AMAZING experience. It was our first time jumping (tandem), and it couldn't have been any better. The instructors were very friendly and experienced. They prepared us well without boring us, and relaxed us with their humour on the ground and all the way up. Everyone there, including other jumpers, were very friendly and reassuring. It really felt like a tight knit family, all of whom were very passionate and enthusiastic about skydiving. Regarding the actual location, we were jumping nearby the Lawrence river with a full view of the Thousand Islands. It was indescribably beautiful - a real sight to see as you're plunging down at 200 km/h to the ground. Price-wise it was the cheapest I could find based on my research, and WELL worth the 3 hour trip it took to get there. Overall, I can't recommend it highly enough. You really have to experience it to see what it's like! read more
