Skydive The Ranch Review

I could do with out the sarcasm on the phone. It was raining in Boston so I didn't want to drive 5 hours to New York, no need to be a prick about it.

I had an amazing time!!! Everyone is extremely kind and really friendly. If you're standing alone anyone will come up to you and strike up conversation. The jump was explained to me before it happened and I felt so confident in everything that I wasn't even nervous- just excited to fly.

Wonderful Experience!! Great professional instructors. My Tandem pilot instructor JM was the best. I will do this again in the near future

The most amazing experience I've ever had in my life the people will kind courteous and I jumped with a man named John who had 19 years experience and guided me every single step of the way made it the most comfortable experience you could ever have who is obviously very knowledgeable of his job but it made my first time not only jumping but on a plane very comfortable it was a really awesome experience I recommend everybody try it.

We went there for my moms birthday... it s an amazing experience ! If you don t want to get the video get the video !!!!! It s amazing to have that video and that memory ... THANK YOU GUYS . You made our day ! Hope to be back !!!

These guys and gals are the real deal. They are super friendly and professional. I was super nervous about making the jump on the count of my fear of heights. My instructor JM was super cool about it and helped ease my fear by explaining the process step by step until the jump. Will all this support I was able to make the jump along with my friends and I have no regrets. One of the best experiences ever.

It was my first time skydiving and I was really nervous. My instructor Utah made me feel very comfortable. He made feel so comfortable that my fear went away once we were ready to jump!! I have watched my video like a million times!! Thanks to my awesome videographer. I will definitely be back!! It was an Amazing experience!! Thank you!!!

Amazing experience. Great, friendly and helpful staff. I will definitely be returning!

Loved it, very professional, my instructor made me feel secure! Very friendly and good vibe for my 1st jump. I want to experience early bird jump!

As the song goes "I want to fly like an Igor" (my instructor and videographer are both called Igor)

Friendly staff. Nice views of vineyards and shaegunk cliffs.

Amazing Experience
Finally deciding to jump off a plane is not a small matter. Gathering the guts to do it still makes you think of things that you don't want to think about.

But, once getting there and signing the waivers etc, and finally meeting my instructor, "Tall Eric", and photographer Jim, I was on my way to take that first jump.

What assured me my safety were the instructions by Eric and once in the plane, Eric's making sure and saying it aloud how I am attached to him - both to my shoulders, waist etc. Then came time to jump and it was just amazing.

Thanks Eric, Jim and the all rounder owner of this place, Billy. Will definitely come back again - with a lot of friends (they saw my video on FB).

Did my first ever tandem jump here in celebration of my 21st birthday. After showing up, I was welcomed by an extremely warm staff who had prepared a group of 4 others and myself within 15 minutes. I specifically will recommend David Laidlaw as a tandem instructor with a great teaching ability and "Big Jim" for a video recorder if you think you're only ever going to jump once!

This place is amazing and a gorgeous view of Minnewaska State Park. If you are going to jump out of a plane, this is the place to do it. I did my first tandem dive here recently. The staff are experienced and comforting. I felt like I was in very capable hands. I will definitely go back.

The experience was surreal. From the moment you get on the plane to the moment you touch the ground. You will talk about your jump for days, and will want to show everyone your pictures. I ordered pictures and I thought a video package but only received photos. Is there anyone on the staff who can help me solve this? Still missing a video.

My wife and I had an amazing experience. These guys know how to do it right and make you feel comfortable. It s not an easy thing to do in the first place so the experience and service need to be good and they have got it spot on. Definitely going back at some point and definitely recommend them to anyone. Thanks John and Dennis for a great experience.

I bought my boyfriend and I tandem jumps for his birthday at the beginning of November and it was a phenomenal sight to see. Eric and John were our instructors and they answered all questions and we both felt confident in their hands. The views of the Hudson valley, Catskills, Shawangunks, and even NYC was breathtaking. Will definitely be heading back to the Ranch again.

An Amazing FIRST JUMP !!! Eric was INCREDIBLE .... Couldn t have asked for a Better instructor!!! Super Experienced - Super personality Absolutely coming back, and bringing more friends to fly from the sky!!!

It was my first tandem jump and it was awsome. Would definitely recommend it. I jumped with Eric and he was fun. Jump was pretty smooth and landing was perfect

I felt so comfortable with the crew at Skydive ranch. It was almost effortless while it was my first time doing it and going tandem. I went up with Eric and Bree and they were so chill and made the experience that much better. I can t wait for the opportunity to do this again.

The instructors at the ranch were so outstanding. Shout out to Eric and Steve who made my parties jump extra comfortable and a lot more fun than past experiences. Wouldn t go anywhere else ever again!

No frills, no gimmicks, no one trying to sell you more than you came for. I've been here a couple of times, brought family and friends. The prices are reasonable, the staff is excellent, and the experience is priceless.

Absolute amazing experience for a first time diver! The whole staff is extremely friendly, and the instructors are absolutely amazing. I had Tall Eric for my first time and he made me feel very safe and secure the entire time, while still having a blast! I will definitely be returning to the ranch

I did a tandem jump with Egor who is an awesome instructor who will keep you informed and make you feel comfortable during the whole experience. Having done a static line jump in 1980 I have always wanted to do an actual skydive and I am glad I did. It was the most amazing experience ever and I look forward to doing it again. If you are thinking about it I encourage you to book a jump at Skydive the Ranch. If you are not sure you want to do it but interested spend some time there and check it out, talk with people and you will be on a plane before you know it having the time of your life! Thanks to Leland for a great job recording the whole process.

Incredible experience from start to finish. Will be back to jump again very soon! If you are looking for an incredible first jump experience like I had, then look no further than here!

This was an amazing experience! Sergey was fantastic! And I plan to return! Totally hooked!

If you want to try skydiving, this is the place to go. If you're a licensed skydiver... This is the place to go! Super awesome USPA skydiving center

It was a GREAT experience and everyone at the Ranch was so nice, helpful and with great personality... I m definitely going back again and I m hoping I get to jump with John again he is Super/Great

Second time going here and the staff was still as amazing as before ! The guys that tandem jump are always so nice and walk you through everything before it happens. I recommend this place to everyone!

Such a fun adventure. If you're visiting the area you have to stop by.

Exhilarating is an understatement. Definitely an experience of a lifetime. Now I know why the birds sing!!! To have the sky as your playground is beyond words. Thank you to Johnny and Big Jim. I have a memory that will last forever

Such an amazing experience! The staff at Skydive the Ranch make your first time such an enjoyment! They do a fantastic job explaining all procedures before and during your jump. Would definitely recommend and will return for my next jump!

Absolutely Awesome!!! I Will Definitely Be Jumping Again. Eric was extremely informative and Professional. Thanks For Checking another Box in my Bucket List!!

Q

All of the folks at Skydive the Ranch are very professional and enjoy what they do. They attain their goal of making sure that everyone has fun while staying safe. Kudos to all the staff.

Arguably the best thrill of my life. Great team of guys there that make you feel safe and comfortable and ensure that you will want to jump with them again! Cant wait for the next one

A group of outstanding people living for the high of jumping from planes...a great place to spend your time!

The thought of spending over $200 for any activity to me is mind boggling. But yet I was peer pressured into doing this skydiving event. Do I regret it? NOT ONE BIT!!!!! This stunt was so worth the 2 hour drive and the price. Will I be coming back again? You bet your bottom dollar I will.

My first time ever skydiving was amazing truly an experience I ll never forget! Tall Eric was my tandem instructor the first time around, professional and fun ! I loved it so much I decided to rebook for the following day as soon as I got back to the ranch from the sky! The second time around my tandem instructor was Brandon also professional and great experience I even got to pull the parachute on our free fall! Highly recommend Skydive the ranch !! Will be seeing a lot of me.

This was one of the best days of my life! My son and I jumped for the first time with Skydive The Ranch and it was amazing! The entire staff was professional and SO friendly. GO HERE and DO IT! You will not regret it!!! Shout out to instructors Utah and MJ - they were fabulous.

Simply the best! Everyone was awesome. Can't wait to jump again.

I recommend to any one this organization is unbelievable

Went for my first tandem on a Saturday. Friendly atmosphere, friendly instructors. Jumped with Steve AKA Utah, very reassuring.

The instructors at the ranch were so outstanding. Shout out to Eric and Steve who made my parties jump extra comfortable and a lot more fun than past experiences. Wouldn t go anywhere else ever again!

Thrilling experience!! The instructors really helped ease our nerves by talking to us before hand about what we should expect up in the air. I felt completely safe. The video/photos are expensive, but I believe they were worth it. We went during a skydiving festival so we were also able to see a lot of people falling from the sky-pretty cool! Our instructors John, Utah, and Igor, and our videographers were all amazing, so thank you!

Eric is awesome! Had so much fun, even with a weather delay! Very friendly staff. Will definitely be back!!

Skydive the Ranch is wonderful! It has a great atmosphere and awesome customer service. You can tell the employees love what they do (I mean who wouldn t?), they are thorough and will do whatever to make this as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. The first two times I went with Steve, third time I went with John. Definitely wouldn t want to go anywhere else!

Absolute amazing experience for a first time diver! The whole staff is extremely friendly, and the instructors are absolutely amazing. I had Tall Eric for my first time and he made me feel very safe and secure the entire time, while still having a blast! I will definitely be returning to the ranch

Great first skydiving experience! Everyone was kind and welcoming. Was able to learn some tricks with the parachute. Would definitely go back.

The instructors at The Ranch are just the most amazing. I've tandem jumped here twice now and I honestly cannot wait to come back and jump again. Thank you!!

Steve is great. Process: efficient and flawless. Experience: can t improve much to be honest. Simply put, they are great at what they do. And they have the right people responsible for each task.
Well done.

Did my first tandem a few years ago, and I've been dreaming of going back ever since. Finally pulled the trigger and started working on my IAF license. The staff here are absolutely amazing, and I cannot praise Erin and Lenka enough for taking the time to work with me and help me on my way to my A license. I'll be counting down the days until my next jump!!

Did my first sky dive here. Amazing place, amazing staff, amazing and very experienced instructors. They look old but don t by their looks, they are amazing in what do every single day. Thank you so much Utah (my instructors name) for making my first sky dive so memorable and awesome. I highly recommend this place !!!!!! Go and dive fly baby fly

So much fun! The instructors were very friendly and chill which helped steel my nerves a little bit. Even though it started to rain as we were flying up, I got to jump and we landed early. It was an awesome experience and I definitely want to come back!

AMAZING!!!! I love the service everyone is nice makes you feel comfortable. My friend enjoyed his birthday the energy in the place is incredible I will be returning.

Saturday was my first jump ever! and it was hands down one of the best experiences of my life! I have literally been beaming ever since. Everyone at the ranch was amazing. Everything was explained well and I felt super comfortable and confident with my instructor. I can't wait to go again!

Amazing experience. Great staff, completely in love with the place!
