Special or Exotic Boogies around the world

[goobersnuftda 0]

I know there are lots of get together Boogies around the world but does anyone know of some that are unique? WFFC is good but 80% of what is there is available just about anywhere in the US during the year.

The Swedish Herc boogie has been a now show for the past 4 years and may never be again. Exocic Sky Adventures has downgraded to normal turbine aircraft at vacation resorts. The only unique one I know of is jumping from Herc C-130s at the Thai Sky Festival

Does anyone know of a unique experience around the world that is in the top 5 skydiving adventrues to do in a lifetime?

It's not a C-130 but IMO its even better, the AN-72 boogie is a lot of fun and if for some reason you get tired of jumping from a tailgate jet you can jump from other aircraft like the AN-28, the AN-2 and the pink skyvan. The official website is here. This is one of those boogies you shouldn't miss.

The Everest jumps sound awesome.

Come to Belize and skydive into and then SCUBA dive the Blue Hole to 140ft.

Look up "Exotic Sky Adventures". They organize one or two boogies a year in various places.

Most of them are very good. But you have to be prepared for some hicups sometimes when going to far, non traditional skydiving destinations.

Yes I use to watch Exotic Sky Adventures but things have changed with that company.

This is the original one that started the Thai Sky Festival I believe. As time went on, those that actually organized the Thai Festival (because they lived there for 30+ years) broke off and just do that festival themselves. Derek Thomas (Pres. Javelin) was part owner of the Exotic Sky Adventures company with a businesses partner from Europe but it looks like now that he is no longer part of the company.

Exotic Sky Adventures was lined up to go to many kewl Herc boogies like Shri Lanka (military coop happened just before the event started) and also Equator and the Galapagos Island (looked like it never materialized).

It’s hard to put on such exotic events with a Herc. Looks like this company has stopped reaching for such events and have kicked back to regular turbine planes in normal warm island resorts. That’s fine and everything, I’m just looking for something more unique.

The skydive onto the base camp on Mt. Everest looks interesting but to land on the side of the mountain at 13,500 ft, OK but not what I’m looking for……I want a boogie with many jumps.

It also seems that there are a lot of these companies that are based in Europe. Unless you live in Europe and are paid in Euros, paying for their trips sucks ($1.50 gets you 1 Euro).

I think that for now, the Sky Thai festival is the only place in the world like it left. $1,600 gets you 20 jumps, all accommodations and transfers with a 2 day break in a 5 star hotel and breakfast every day. And at $25/jump ticket if you want to jump more from the Herc or even the Huey, beach jumps at the end of the day where the hotel staff come up to you with a tray of cold beer….can’t beat that.
