Booking a skydive

Skydiving Byron Bay

People often ask 'If I book a skydive what does my experience consist of?'

Now each jump zone can vary slight but skydiving out of Byron Bay looks a little like this...

Firstly you will be given an arrival time. This is the time you need to arrive at the Tyagarah Airfield ready for arguably the biggest adrenalin rush you will ever experience. You will need to wear comfortable clothes and lace up shoes that can't fly off when travelling at speeds faster then you can drive.

When you check in for your skydive you will be allocated to a tandem master. You will will then be taken through a couple of basic techniques to land correctly and fall from the plane.

Once your basic training has completed. You will kit up and head out to the plane. As you board the plane you will begin asking yourself 'Why am I about to jump out of a perfectly good plane?'

As the plane takes off you will now realise that you are just about to do something that makes very little sense.

Getting to 14000 feet will take roughly 20 minutes. It will feel a lot longer...

All of a sudden the door will open and you will be hit with strangely cool air. Your tandem master then whispers something in your ear. The words don't seem quite right 'Jump Time!'

As you shuffle to the door plenty of thoughts are running through your head yet the only word that comes to mind, rhymes with TRUCK!!!!!!!

When you first fall out, try and keep your eyes open because you will get a surreal view of the plane flying away from you. Over the next 60 seconds you will reach speeds in excess of 200km per hour, scream more then you have ever before and loose all moisture in your mouth.

Suddenly the shoot opens and for the next five minutes you float back to Earth planning when you can get time to jump again.

What is the best way to experience Byron Bay?

Byron Bay skydive 

Byron Bay is famous for its unique ambience, surf beaches and relaxed lifestyle. It is also known for the artisans and people enjoying the alternate lifestyle, who are often mixing with famous locals that reside in this sought after location.

When talking to locals, and tourist alike, people are often divided when asked 'What is the best way to experience Byron Bay?'

Some will say that siting on a McTavish Malibu surfboard overlooking Byron is the best way, others will argue that sitting at the Byron Bay Beach hotel enjoying an ale and listening to some local tunes is the better option, or people watching whilst enjoying a coffee and a feed. For me I think travelling at 200km per hour towards all of the above is the best way to view Byron Bay. A Byron Bay skydive is the only way this can be achieved.

Is Port Douglas, Australia's best holiday location?

Australia's best holiday location.

I guess the question is not whether Port Douglas is Australia's best holiday location but why isn't it? Well first what makes a great holiday?

Location-
The average temperature in Port Douglas ranges between 27 to 33 degrees all year round. From the major cities on the eastern side of Australia you can get to Cairns and Port Douglas in a couple of hours and flying with Jetstar and Virgin you land on the ground for as little as $100 one way.

Accommodation
With more accommodation choices then you can poke a stick at, the prices range between world class 5 star opulent hotels through to $30 back packers accommodation.

Tours
Well this is when Port Douglas comes into its own. With the world heritage listed Great Barrier Reef so close to shore you can nearly touch it, a great launching pad to the world heritage listed Daintree, Mossman Gorge and Cape Tribulation to name just a few.

Food
Local produce such as mud crabs, coral trout, tropical fruits and so much more will create a menu that even the most fussy food lover would be happy to bury their taste buds into.

It is difficult to argue that Port Douglas is not Australia's best holiday location.
