It’s not for everyone but for those that have done it, skydiving (and the boundaries that you push in the process), provides an unrivalled sense of personal freedom, empowerment and breathtaking views that you just can’t get from the ground.
There’s something extremely grounding about soaring high above earth. Once the adrenaline of your initial jump subsides, you’ll be rewarded with a fresh view of the world and be proud of the fact you have tested yourself in ways you never thought possible – physically and mentally!
Whether you’re a high thrills seeker who lives for the plunge or would prefer a less intense way to fly sky high, see the beauty of Somerset from the sky with these experiences.
Skydive Ramblers
Just an hour drive from Brisbane, Skydive Ramblers in Toogoolawah is Queensland’s largest and longest-running skydiving operation. The business welcomes experienced jumpers or beginners.
For those new to skydiving, Ramblers’ tandem skydive from 14,000 ft is the perfect introduction. Secured to an experienced instructor, you’ll jump into open sky and experience up to one full minute of free fall.
The experience promises an unforgettable moment and a breathtaking birds-eye view over the Somerset region.
Feeling extra bold? Book a night tandem skydive under moonlit skies. Timed with the full moon, these dives enjoy sensational views of the night sky.
And if you’re the type of boss that loves to push the envelope (and perhaps test your team!), Ramblers is also a great team building activity.
