Awesome first time.😎🎯❤️ - Went with my partner. I don't do big rollacoasters so I was very nervous, scared but excited. My instructor was Ryan. Thank you. Once the parachute opened, I was relieved and totally enjoyed my jump and it was a very clear day. So incredible views. I would recommend to others.

Best thing I’ve ever done. - It was my first time skydiving. I went with my Dad. It was the funnest thing I’ve ever done. The scariest part was going out the door, but it was also exciting!! I want to come back for the 16500ft jump! My instructor was Ryan. He was really good! 5/5

Once in a lifetime - While it was terrifying it was also awesome. Hamish my tandem buddy was incredible, calm, reassuring, patient and I felt very supported. Every bit of the experience was great from the phone conversations to the team greeting me, everything had a flow and it was an experience to remember for my 60th birthday. Thanks Hamish and team xx

Great staff, great location - Amazing experience. Wasn’t overly excited as never saw the appeal of skydiving but it was so much more fun than I ever expected-one of the best experiences of my life. The environment was nice and casual, check-in staff all very friendly and informative- we upgraded our booking to a higher altitude. Our skydiving tandem partners/instructors (whatever you call them) were fantastic. Shout out to Nathan and Jakob! I was very nervous about doing something wrong but Nathan went over the instructions clearly and kept asking if I had any questions. He also kept reassuring me that I was doing a great job which really helped to calm the nerves. It’s a really beautiful location and Nathan kept pointing out things in the landscape which added to the experience. Overall highly recommend, and a huge thank you to our wonderful instructors!

Breathtaking sky diving experience - We did the 15k ft sky diving at Taupo and it was one of the most incredible experiences of our trip to New Zealand. I would absolutely recommend this to everyone. I was lucky to have Riley as my tandem buddy and he is absolutely amazing. Once the free fall was complete he showed me all the sights around Taupō from the sky and even ensured that the landing is super smooth! A must do if you visit Taupo.

Unforgettable skydiving experience - My daughter and I chose the 15000ft tandem skydive plus guru video. Our tandem masters Jacob and Ian are amazing. We had so much fun. My daughter actually wants to be a skydiver one day after this.

Dream come true!! 🎉 - I was supposed to do a sky dive at 17yrs of age but the weather didn't cooperate but today, 38yrs later, that dream came true & it was worth waiting for!! Right from the start there was a friendly, relaxed atmosphere with the crew and my tandem master JAKOB WHAKATUTU couldn't have been nicer!! He chatted away as the gear went on, was funny and reassuring, I felt very safe! In the plane he continued to talk me through everything that was happening and I couldn't have asked for a better instructor to share this wonderful experience with... THANK YOU!! As for the moment we exited the plane, WOW, that's something that will live long in the memory as will the stunning views over Lake Taupo!! Feet firmly back on solid ground, I count it a privilege to have had this experience and JAKOB, you're 1 in a million!! 🪂♥️
