Was honestly NOT sure if I’d like this at first (my bf had to drag me on lol) but it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. The team was suuuper chill and even joked around with us while we waited our turn (which btw, was maybe 20 mins but didn’t feel long). The wind was kinda wild that day so it felt extra thrilling. I screamed a bunch, not gonna lie! Photos they took are hilarious—hair everywhere but worth buying. If you’re nervous, just do it. You won’t regret it, promise!

Good fun for families. Took my teens and they LOVED it (I was more scared tbh). Weather was perfect, water looked EPIC from up high. Only wish it lasted longer, felt like the time in the air zipped by. Still, staff were nice and made us feel safe. Tip: bring a hair tie if you’ve got long hair, it gets messy fast!

Was expecting a bit more tbh. The ride was cool but kinda short and we were waiting around for ages before our turn. Staff were polite but seemed a bit rushed. My bf loved it tho so maybe just me! Photos are extra, kinda pricey.

Omg, definitely do this if you’re not scared of heights. I went solo and was shaking at first, but the crew talked me through it and it was honestly THE BEST. Up in the air, the views are wild—could see so far. Got some wind in my mouth lol, but it’s part of the experience. Worth every euro.
