Parachuting

Parachuting or sky diving guarantees an amazing buzz. After jumping out of a plane your adrenalin pumping freefall is broken by the release of your parachute, after which you have a much gentler passage down to the ground. Parachuting gives you the best possible view of earth whilst guaranteeing a life time experience.

The history of parachuting traces back to André-Jacques Garnerin with a decent from a balloon in 1797. A typical jump involves jumping out of a plane at an altitude of approximately 4000 metres (12,000 feet) and free falling to 800 metres (2,500 feet) before releasing the parachute. Once opened the jumper controls the direction and speed of their decent aiming for the landing site and a safe and gentle landing. If you feel the urge to jump out of a perfectly safe plane then BTB can help you out. You can book either a parachute course or a break based around it, including flights, accomodation, transfers and much more.
