    Para Drop


picture   Experience the thrill of a parachute drop without the parachute! Drop safely from the top of our 60 ft high tower, suspended from a harness by a wire cable in a controlled descent.

This exhilarating activity is much less difficult than it looks but nonetheless provides you with a real sense of achievement when you reach terra firma.

    		  The secret is not to look down before stepping out from the tower platform unless of course you have nerves of steel and are unfazed by heights. Remember always that you are under skilled instruction.
