Fabulous Flight! - The Skydive Adventure was amazing. The instructor, Charlie, made me feel at ease throughout the experience, with the wind strength expertly controlled by Mac. As well as flying high, I was also able to try out a couple of tricks. Fast and fun!

Perfect combination of adventure, adrenaline and relaxation - Had such a blast at Hangloose, it's the perfect combination of adventure, adrenaline and relaxation. My partner and I were bought a "Buy a Gift" present for Xmas and found Hangloose on the list. We did the giant swing, which was still fun even in the rain, the outdoor skydiving and the sauna, ice bath and wild swim. All the staff are very relaxed and friendly. The best part was the skydiving experience, as Charlie and Sean made the experience super fun. We would love to go back!

Great fun and very accommodating - The skydive experience was a gift to my son from his grandparents, he was really excited to do this. We also booked into complete the skytrail. Our 1st booking was for 11am, we left plenty of time to get to Bluewater however, the traffic was against us. I called Hangloose several times during our journey to let the know we were stuck in traffic, each time they answered the phone promptly and rearranged the experiences. We arrived after spending almost 6 hours in the car (the journey should have been 1hr) the Hangloose team were great, the made us feel very welcome, they didn't rush us and were very accommodating. Charlie and Oli explained everything about the skydiving experience, they offered reassurance and lots of fun. They went above and beyond to ensure my son had a great time. I enjoyed a quiet cuppa with lovely views of the lake and the zipline experience while my son and his friend completed the skytrial. Thank you Hangloose Bluewater team for a great afternoon - we'll definitely be back!

Incredible Instructors, above and beyond!!!! - I took my sister who is fully visually blind today to the wind skydiving tunnel, and I can’t thank the two lads who ran the session enough. They were incredibly accommodating, attentive, explanatory and they went above and beyond to reassure her during the experience. So to the pair of them, thank you so much, the experience was made all the more better because of how incredible they both were. So thank you! Sincerely!

Hang Loose Bluewater is brilliant! - Hang Loose Bluewater is brilliant, and the Waterfront Café is a gem. Emma was wonderful — so friendly and genuinely great with our dog. The café is dog-friendly, which we love, and they even offer pup cups so our four-legged friend could enjoy a treat while we relaxed with ours. A perfect way to end a day out!

A good day. Great for kids - This is a good activity to do as a family, as a couple or for a date. The signage needs improving from Bluewater as the Hangloose reception is a walk from the car park. We were slightly late due to traffic but the atmosphere is very relaxed and activities and timings can be moved around if they are not busy. The staff were all great, very friendly and made us feel safe for each activity. The cost of each activity is expensive but it would make a good day out for kids or a birthday party if you can afford it! The café wasn't open when we arrived, so we were glad to have eaten before and taken water with us. The signage after each activity needs improving to find your way back to the reception.
