It was like putting on your life jacket and running for about 10 minutes to a designated place and then leaving immediately. As soon as they put on the harness, they said bye-bye and were released into the sky. It was more expensive than I expected, but I was able to take a selfie of myself with the sea breeze.

Incredibly fun. Great views and a nice break from the heat. Crew made the whole experience smooth and exciting. On this adventure pictures will be offered. My party did the 800 ft option, next time we’ll do 1000ft.

Really fun time and very friendly Captains. Made my son feel comfortable when he was a bit nervous. He loved the experience and so did the rest of us.
