Five days, one tandem jump, and three days of weather slack. Three days and two weather windows rather than four, in a city hotel, for people who only came for the jump.
Five days built around one jump, with three weather-slack days after it because that is how skydiving actually works.

Short, but the safety brief was thorough and the crew were completely unhurried. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down. Would send friends their way.
Glad you enjoyed it. Hope to see you on another trip.
I was very nervous and the team were patient about it. Would do again. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. Would send friends their way.
Thank you. We've taken the point about the transfer and are reviewing it.

Long wait before our slot with nowhere to sit. The activity itself was fine. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones.
