Best skydive in NZ - What an unforgettable experience! My tandem instructor, Prashant Kapoor, was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. He explained everything clearly, kept the mood light and fun, and most importantly, made me feel completely safe the whole time. The plane ride up was filled with great energy and reassurance, and once we jumped, it was pure exhilaration! The freefall was incredible, and the parachute ride down was smooth with stunning views all around. The landing was perfect too. This was my very first skydive, and I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. Thanks to Prashant Kapoor, it went from something I was nervous about to one of the best experiences of my life. Highly recommend him to anyone considering a skydive!

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! SO WORTH THE MONEY. - This was SO much fun. Everyone working was super friendly and knowledgeable. They walked you through everything so thoroughly that I was not nervous at ALL the entire time. I bought the "Legend" media package- it's the most expensive one, but definitely worth it. They make you an awesome video (mine was 6 minutes long) and take hundreds of photos for you. Would 10/10 recommend to anyone. Gareth Hemingway was THE BEST!!!!! So funny and made the whole experience so much better than I could have imagined it would be. The views were awesome and I wanted to go again the second I landed.

Best Way to Tick Off a Bucket List - Skydiving with Taupō Tandem was unreal! The whole crew was awesome and everything ran super smoothly. Huge shout-out to Diego—my tandem master—he was just too good! He made the whole experience feel fun, relaxed, and easy. His energy and confidence turned any nerves into pure excitement. The views over Lake Taupō were absolutely breathtaking. Honestly, I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor or a more epic way to tick this off the bucket list. 10/10, would do it again in a heartbeat!

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.
