This is much safer for those who have no skydiving experience as the instructor will have them find balance and will guide them along the fall.

Free-fallers will get to see the Gulf of Thailand, beautiful beaches, and of course, Pattaya too!

Representing the words Building, Antenna, Span and Earth, BASE jump is known to be one of the most extreme sports in the world, significantly more dangerous than skydiving from a plane due to the lower altitudes of the jump.

In some places, the sport is illegal, and not everyone can participate in it – you have to at least have certain qualifications to join BASE jumping, like having experience in skydiving or other similar sports.

The BASE jumping in KL Tower started back in 1999, and it is one of the highlights of the tower’s calendar as every year, there will be a KL Tower BASE Jump event participated by professionals.

Price: MYR150 without harness (USD36), MYR200 with harness (USD48) (ok, so it's not too crazy expensive, but consider the other experiences you need before being able to participate in this)
