10/10 experience
This experience was amazing!!! The views before you run off a cliff Is amazing lol!! I would definitely do it again. They communicate very well and they informed me that the original time we had booked wouldn't be a good time because of the wind so they recommended a time and it was amazing. The video I got with it was amazing! Trust me I was scared at first but the way my instructor broken it down to me step by step I had little to no worries. Highly recommend Thiago Caldas if you can get him!
