So I did something today. Never thought I'd go through with it. My friend encouraged me so I drove…read moreup and got geared up. The drive is pretty closer to the small airport. Parking was plentiful and check in easy. Sign the waivers, get weighed to make sure you don't lie about your weight for plane load calculations. Bathrooms, vending machines and an ATM available. Merchandise for sale as well. Payment was taken in cash. And for the video of your jump there's a discount if you pay with cash. You get on a trailer and driven out to the field location. It's a bumpy ride. You're given a brief tutorial by your licensed tandem instructor and an estimated time when the plane will arrive. Water and porta potties are available while you wait. You get harnessed up and more direction. Get on the plane in the order of jump. The plane was nicer than I thought so that eased some of my fears. Buckle in opposite your instructor and then the plane takes off. When it's time, Rob my tandem instructor told me to unbuckle and sit sideways facing the back of the plane. Then he told me to sit on his lap so he could buckle me to him. As the other skydivers jumped, we scooted towards the door. Then it was my turn. My videographer hung from the door while Rob rocked us back and forth. And then we were out the plane door. I think I said 'oh shit' and then got scared for a moment before I tried to remember Rob's instructions. Arms crossed on my chest, legs bent up behind me and face turned upwards. Then he tapped me on my arm and I opened my arms. What a rush! The videographer filmed us by flying around us. It was something else. She was awesome. Then Rob deployed the parachute and we were now cruising along. I got to guide the parachute and take in the views from above. The mountains were so small from up top and the colors were gorgeous. Rob pointed out the sights we could see. I got a little nauseous from motion sickness when the parachute was turning. Rob loosened the straps a little and we went straight for a bit. It helped. He prepared me for the landing by telling me what would happen and what I needed to do. We landed safely and he unhooked my harness. The adrenaline rush was crazy. I was proud to have conquered my fears and equally glad to be safe. I felt like Rob cared about my experience skydiving and my safety. Never doubted his abilities at all. And everyone was so nice. It was a little cold but he loaned me gloves and I was glad I didn't wear too thick of clothing as I got warm from the experience. They have a comment envelope you can leave your thoughts on and a tip for your instructor in. I didn't know about it beforehand so I had limited cash but I wanted to leave something for Rob to say thanks. Get the video because you won't regret it. It's worth the cost. They do a great job filming it and taking photos and putting the video together. I would recommend this for anyone who has wanted to try it. Just do it and take that leap of faith.

Right off the PEEL, the entire staff was welcoming, friendly, and incredibly engaging. The whole experience felt like a fantastic, adrenaline-fueled happy hour packed with laughs and enthusiasm. A massive shout-out to my instructor, Preston. Not only does he have a wealth of knowledge, but he's also hilarious. We spent the ride up exchanging jokes, and he patiently answered every single question and concern I had, completely putting my mind at ease. Whether it's your 1st jump or your 500th, I highly recommend Orange Skies. Their safety record speaks for itself, so you know you're in good hands. Don't sit around squeezing your juice--book your jump today!

Orange Skies is awesome. Full stop. What an incredible experience!…read more While I didn't jump (too chicken!), I took my son for his first free fall here. The minute I saw the facilities and met the people, my anxiety all but dissipated. Everyone is so friendly, knowledgeable, and laser-focused on safety. Mike, the founder, runs a tight ship which is very much appreciated. The building itself is immaculate and all of the gear is meticulously well organized. Preston and Luke were AMAZING! I felt instantly at ease with them, not to mention, they're a lot of fun! If you can, definitely splurge on the video add-on. It's a wonderful souvenir--worth every penny!

It was great to be able to see the entire process of filling the balloon and getting it ready for take off, along with the smoothest flight and landing possible. We felt very comfortable flying with Michael, his years of experience, and obvious love of his craft. If your in the Area, don't pass up the opportunity to fly with Michael and his crew. Very knowledgeable, safe, and an overall fun experience.

There are different levels also so if you become experienced at one level, and you're comfortable, you can move up to another level.

Kids and husband were super excited, and I was very nervous (heights and thrills aren't really my thing, but the rest of the family loves them). We got a family package that allowed all 4 of us to have 2 flights each, and then I added on "high flights" (where you get to go up ~15-20 feet ) and videos/photos of the experience. You have to wear a full suit, helmet, glasses, and ear plugs. So don't go all dressed up or anything. And I HIGHLY recommend putting your hair in a bun if it's long. Mine was a rat's next afterwards from a small ponytail, but my daughter's braid did awesome. The experience definitely made me nervous, but I'm so glad I did it. It ended up being a lot of fun. My husband liked it, but had a harder time maneuvering (he's 6'1" so the coach had a harder time moving him). My kids fell in love with the experience and would probably do it all the time.

As first-time rafters with two skeptical teenage girls in tow, we weren't sure if we were about to…read morebond... or just bounce off some rocks. But Austin was our fearless rafting guide and part-time therapist--who calmed nerves, cracked jokes, and got us paddling in no time. From the very first splash, Austin made us feel safe and slightly more athletic than we actually are. He coached us through the twists and turns of the creek, and somehow convinced our teens that getting absolutely drenched and paddling for their lives was the best day ever. Miracles do exist. We glided through hidden stretches of the creek like pros (or at least like enthusiastic amateurs with great lighting), hollering with joy and soaking up every second of the adventure. Even the "hold on tight!" moments felt like a ride at a theme park--but with better views and less screaming. 10/10 would paddle again. If you're looking for an unforgettable family outing full of laughter, nature, and just the right amount of "we might flip but only if you don't do what Austin says", he's your guide. He's part guide, part hype man, and all-around river legend. Bring snacks or a picnic lunch for after an early morning trip, bring sunscreen (and put it on BEFORE you get a wetsuit. Rent shoes when you check-in ($5/person). Your family will thank you for this adventure (once they stop laughing and wringing out their socks).

Would not recommend this business to anyone. Came on a girls trip to do a day of ziplining that we…read morebooked two hours before (thus they had to staff no one in addition). Our car broke down on the side of the road and a group of girls were stranded with no help and thus we missed our zipline reservation. The manager would issue no refund or even partial refund to our almost $1000 booking. The manager was a coward and refused to speak to me on the phone or even email me back after multiple days. She forced her employees to have conversations that she as a business owner should have. To those reading, there are much better places nearby to zip line, don't bother with this one.

John-o was our guide and he was great. He did a good job reteaching us the basics and knew the river quite well. Outside of that, he had some good geological knowledge and dad jokes as well. My buddy's wife couldn't come at the last second and they gave me a gift certificate which was cool as we thought he wouldn't get anything. The only thing I didn't love is there isn't anything to drink once you step on the bus so I would have brought some water but still highly recommend them.
