I was SOOOO nervous at first, but wow, what a rush! My hands were shaking for the first few mins and then it just turned into pure joy. Went with my bf and we both were grinning like idiots the whole time. The staff were chill and cracked jokes to help us relax. Only downside, you gotta wait a bit for your turn if the boat's full, but honestly, the view while you wait is worth it. The photos they snapped mid air are hilarious—I look like a flying squirrel! Def worth getting the pics if you want memories (and a good laugh).

Booked this with my friends for a bday treat. Pretty epic way to celebrate! We had some delays 'cos the boat before us was running late but once we got going, it was all good. Up in the air, you can see the whole coastline and it’s kinda unreal. Friendly crew, decent music on the boat, and they let us take turns picking the playlist. The harness felt a bit awkward at first but you forget about it once you’re up. Would come back, maybe try in the morning next time, it was a bit crowded by noon.

Did this with my sister. Honestly, I thought she'd chicken out but we both did it! Staff were super patient, especially with all our silly questions (I legit asked if birds ever run into you up there lol). It's a quick rush getting lifted off the boat, but then it's soooo quiet up high, almost peaceful. Bring a light jacket—wind gets chilly! Photos are extra, but pretty fun to see yourself mid-scream.

This was the highlight of our trip! Took my teenage boys and they LOVED it. I was a bit hesitant (heights aren’t my thing) but the crew was great and talked me through it. The ride is smooth, not jerky, and the views are EPIC. It gets busy so I’d say book early. We got lucky with weather, sunny and clear, but I can see how it might be rough if windy. Worth every euro!

Went solo since my partner was too scared. Was fun but a bit rushed—there were lotsa people on our slot. Staff were polite but seemed a bit tired. Still, the feeling of flying over the water was unreal. Would prob try earlier in the day next time, gets hectic by afternoon.
