"What an amazing activity. It was so beautiful and such a thrilling experience. I went with my family. Children were age 8, 11 & 13. The Gide was brilliant. So kind and knowledgeable. We felt very safe. There was no pressure to do my jumps. There was always another option. But you should try to do them. It’s so much fun. Friendly staff brilliantly organised.
