Bit of a wait at the airport but this was weather related and couldn't be helped. Very professional team who took time to explain everything and made sure you had an awesome jump!

It's been on my bucket list for sometime but I really wanted to find the perfect location to do it. Rottnest Island ticked all the boxes and the experience is something that I'll treasure forever.
The booking process was easy to navigate and straightforward to complete. The guys at Geronimo were fantastic, really helpful and reassuring. I recommend this activity to anyone looking to skydive for their first time. Next time I'm back in Perth I'll be looking forward to having another skydive.

My ticketing experience with Headout was positive: easy to navigate my way around the site & delivery of eticket was excellent. Absolutely loved exploring Ngilgi Caves, seeing & learning about the different formations. Hubby is 84yrs & I'm 68 yrs, yet we managed the steps down & up because of the clever layout with benches to sit on in each resting spot. Because of the quality, we bought gifts in the store as well. Team was friendly & helpful. Honestly, this was the best 2-3 hrs spent and great value in all respects.

Great afternoon experience. We were 65 and my wife 63. She had a stroke 12 years ago and was uncertain if she would cope with the steps, but had a great time. Great handrails to help you climb the steps down and up. Fantastic rock formations. Nice and cool on a hot day. Very informative all the way around. Highly recommended
