What a fantastic day out at Falcons Lookout! There were three of us joining the day, all complete beginners and Jacky was an amazing guide. They made us feel comfortable, encouraged us every step of the way and was so supportive as we learnt the ropes of rock climbing and abseiling.
We had such a great time, pushed ourselves out of our comfort zones and came away buzzing! Thanks, Jacky, for making it such a fun and memorable experience. We can’t wait to do it again! Highly recommend! 🙌
