Known for blending travel, adventure, and adrenaline sports, Mr Alvarrez was inspired to bring the Boogie to Fiji for a simple reason:
"I wanted a place where we could surf and skydive on the same day."
With over 2000 jumps and more than a decade in the sport, highaltitude adventures are his second nature.
But it was Fiji's breathtaking scenery and laid-back vibe that set the Boogie apart.
"This wasn't about a typical boogie with hundreds of jumpers," he said.
"It was me and 15 friends. That's what made it special."
From the sky, the panoramic views of Fiji's pristine waters, vibrant reefs, and countless shades of blue left an indelible impression.
"It's hard to compare," Mr Alvarrez said.
"The water and the reefs here are unreal. Jumping in the tropics is better than almost anywhere else."
In between skydives, the group immersed themselves in local activities - surfing, beach days, and enjoying quality time together.
Despite the unique tropical setting, he praised the smooth, professional operation of Skydive Fiji.
"Everything here is well set up and runs smoothly. The ground crew was amazing and looked after us so well. Tim Joyce is alegend - super helpful and professional," he added.
Asked whether he'd return for a future Fiji Boogie, his answer was simple: "Absolutely."
When asked to sum up his jump in one word, "Freedom."
Managing director Tim Joyce said that since its operation in 2004, Skydive Fiji was the country's premier skydiving operator, offering thrilling tandem skydives over Fiji's stunning islands and coral reefs.
"Known for world-class safety standards, breathtaking views, and exceptional guest experiences, Skydive Fiji continues to set the bar for adventure tourism in Fiji and the Pacific," he said.
