And if so, what to expect? Extremely excited but absolutely terrified at the same time.
All tips welcome!

Yes, I love it! You get the most amazing adrenaline rush and feel on a high for the rest of the day.

I bet you'll love it.

And don't forget to keep your eyes open on the way down! Smile

I did one one when I was a student (about 28 years ago) it wasn't tandem although there was a line to ensure the parachute opened. I loved the initial fall but then in the excitement completely forgot how to control the direction of landing - I came down through a very spiky tree. I walked away without injury but the guys recovering the parachute we'rent terribly happy!

I did a tandem a few years ago! Was brilliant!

Yes, a tandem from 12,000ft, loved it and would definitely do it again. Enjoy!

I’ve done a tandom. Was a little scary but not as much as bungee jump. I might be more afraid now being older. When I was in my 20s I’d be up for anything. I do think a tandem is a bit reassuring though as it’s unlikely the person you’re attached to wants to die and therefore your interests are alligned

Tandem dive from 14,000 ft in Australia 1998, over outer Great Barrier Reef & banana farms, landing on Mission Beach. The dive was exhilarating & weirdly calming, the cheek wobble is hilarious, listen to your instructor & enjoy the view

I did one 15,000 feet in nz when I was travelling the world, it was amazing. I’d do one again if I didn’t have kids and responsibilities! I found the bungee jump from 150 feet scarier as you have to jump yourself rather than have someone throw you off/out.

No. I’d rather saw off my arm with a rusty blade 😂
