You must go sky diving! - I cannot put into words how crazy the feeling of free falling over the beautiful beach and city feels. The experience was overall incredible and quick. My instructor Kitch was amazing! He was calm, cool and collected, even when I was not haha! He was always checking in to make sure I was good and was able to make me laugh when I was rethinking my whole decision. We got some cool photos and memories to last a life time. Overall, the team was great, professionally and made you feel at home. Would highly recommend this sky diving place to anyone :)

Bucket List ✅🪂 - We did the 12K feet jump. The team was so kind and supportive. The admin at checkin was really helpful and informative. I didn’t get her name but she owns a cafe if that helps. She helped my whole family feel confident and comfortable. I jumped with Aidan and my son jumped with Kip at the same time. They were so much fun and so supportive. They knew I was nervous. My 20–something self had skydiving in New Zealand on her bucket list. Now that I’m 52 I’d thought the dream had passed. My 19yo daughter insisted on going and soon my family of 4 was signed up. Hey if a 77yo can do it, why couldn’t I?? But I suffer from claustrophobia and the size of the plane was a concern. Aidan and Kip were so encouraging and the jump? Incredible!! What an intense rush of awesome! I’d totally do it again with Skydive Tauranga!! They were professional and the experience was intimate. They truly cared about our safety and enjoyment. The views were gorgeous! No chickening out here!! 🪂💕🌎😎

Great professional team and stunning views as you float down - Wow, what an experience. We are family of 4 who had always wanted to skydive but as newbies we were somewhat nervous. We needn’t have been as the guys at Tayranga skydive were professional, reassuring and all over brilliant. We booked to go in the morning but the weather prevented us, the team promptly called us to apologise and then called us back later in day when the weather cleared. Getting there is a 10min taxi from beach/port we were kitted out in what looked like new kit/harnesses and reassured, then we met our ‘instructors’ Kitch and Mitch.. Both were amazing at ensuring everyone felt confident and enjoyed their jump. We took the 15k feet jump, the views are amazing, literally breathtaking and you’d be hard pressed to find a better location of mountains, sea, high surf, meadows, islands lagoons, lakes etc. The plane ride is a 20min climb, the guys are triple checking everything then the door opens and off u go, they obviously do everything and you just need to enjoy this unique experience. I’d highly recommend for experienced divers given the views and for newbies given how good the team are there .. we’d deffo do it again, all sorted in around 90mins to 120mins

Wonderful staff - We arrived in Tauranga on a cruise ship. In my research, it came up that skydiving was a great way to see the views of the Bay of Plenty. The staff was wonderful. They were very communicative in the days leading up to our visit with the weather systems they were watching. Our tandem jumpers were wonderful; they were sensitive to my nervousness will encouraging my sons’ excitement. I highly recommend this outfit.
