Wicked!!!! - Absolutely wicked!!! What an amazing experience!!! This was a wedding gift from my wife and I loved it! Had a good laugh before gearing up, which helped settle my nerves. The prices were reasonable too, got some wicked shots and a video of me just crying (from enjoyment of course). I felt safe as throughout the whole duration, from first interaction to landing back on the ground. Awesome experience, thoroughly enjoyed everything! Many thanks to the team 🙏🏽 still smiling and can’t wait to go again!

Skydive tauranga - It was amazing. Well worth the cost, I’d recommend getting the 360 video as well. So that you can share the experience with friends. Fantastic experience

Amazing, brilliant, DO IT!!!!! - I can’t recommend this enough. First time skydiving and I couldn’t have chosen a better place. Firstly all the staff are super nice and chilled out with a fun vibe but number one is around safety and explaining things. I felt relaxed and supported throughout. During the build up, flight and jump it was just so much fun and it was probably the best experience of my life!! Thank you so so much!! I would do it again tomorrow if I could!! ❤️❤️💪💪

Unforgettable! - Many thanks to Guillaume and his whole team. They were all great! They are accessible, warm and do everything to put you in confidence to live this incredible experience in the best conditions. Special dedication to Kingi (I hope I spell it right) my pair, which made my jump even more fun!
The 360° film is too good. It’s great to be able to relive this moment as much as we want, but also to see ourselves from the outside, observe our reactions and laugh at our faces 😜.
Small advice for those with sensitive eardrums: remember to decompress throughout the fall (gently blowing nose pinched, yawning, swallowing...) without waiting for the atmospheric pressure to feel too pressing, even painful.

Unforgettable - My partner and I just did our FIRST skydive and we are still on a high!! 🤯✈️🔥
Huge shoutout to Skydive Tauranga — the team were absolute legends. Super professional, fun, and made us feel 100% safe the whole time. The jump itself was pure adrenaline and completely unforgettable.
Absolutely wild, slightly terrifying, 1000% worth it.
Already thinking about round two. 🔥

BEST. TIME. EVER. - What an incredible experience! Kitch and Mitch are pros. The instructors are delightful and know what they’re doing. I was a bit anxious, but they made me feel at ease and talk you through every step of the way so you know what to expect. I felt super safe. The views were incredible and you feel so free! The views were only half of the experience— the people at Skydive Tauranga are the kindest people and really add to the excitement of skydiving! 1000/10 would recommend. If you’re anything like me and are questioning if you should skydive, DO IT. Tauranga Skydive is THE PLACE to be to check skydiving off your bucket list. Thank you guys so much!!

Great for teens - It’s was great! Our tandem instructors did so well with my very excited teens and with my nervousness. The ground crew was very organized as well. While I have discovered that skydiving isn’t my favorite activity ( didn’t like the freefall, but loved it once the chute opened) the rest of my family had an amazing time and touched down already asking when they could go again. It was a wonderful and unique way to enjoy the beautiful landscape of the bay of plenty
