Very professional company and great fun! - IPrashant Kapoor Is an absolute legend Tandem master. Such a great sense of humor and amazing camera skills too. He knew his stuff and I didn’t feel even the slightest bit nervous once I was strapped in. Anyone who gets to jump with Prashant is very lucky! Thanks Prashant and Tandem Skydiving!

Fantastic parachute jump! - What an experience! I'd done it before so I knew what to expect but it was so much better. From the minute we were collected from our hotel to the minute we arrived back, everything was great. We didn't have to wait long in the reception area before we were being kitted up and asked to watch a brief training video. We were soon in the plane and flying up into the sky. My husband went first and I was second to go. By this time, the training had been repeated by my instructor twice again, before we jumped. Damien Malkin (Damo) was a first class instructor. I know he does it multiple times a day but he treated me with great enthusiasm anyway. He reassured me, explained everything and worked as a tour guide whilst we were floating down under the canopy, pointing out local attractions. When asked by his colleagues who my instructor was, when I said Damo, they all talked about him with such warmth too. If you want a fantastic experience, with great safety and efficient processes, a warm reception and good fun, then this is the place for you. Thanks Damo!

Great place for skydiving! - Amazing experience all around! I really appreciated the pick up an drop off at my Airbnb. Nathan Purver was fantastic! He kept me answering questions and interacting with the camera which helped my mind not get stuck on the whole "I'm about to jump out of a plane" part, and made for a great video. Highly recommend!

One of the best experiences of my life! - I can 100% recommended Taupo Tandem Skydiving. The staff are very welcoming and give lots of guidance and information. Very chilled out atmosphere, which is needed when jumping out of a plane. Not over crowded and rushed. The tandem masters are very chatty and showed us lots of landmarks up in the air. I want to do this again!!
