" Fear is Temporary.... Achievement is Permanent .... Do Everything..... Regret Nothing !!!
At ground level, the view from Taupo township is already remarkable; a lake with crystal clear waters overlooked by the powerful mountains of the Tongariro National Park. Now imagine a bird’s eye view of all of that and that’s where we’re going to take you.
A 20-minute scenic flight to altitude will have you climbing over Great Lake Taupo, the crater of a super volcanic eruption 26,000 years ago. While you’re up there you’ll be able to see the most famous mountains in New Zealand – Mount Tongariro, Mount Ruapehu and Mount Ngauruhoe (a.k.a Mount Doom from the ‘Lord of the Rings’ films). On a clear day, you may even be able to see both coasts of the North Island, Mount Taranaki to the southwest, Napier to the east and the Rotorua Lakes to the north.
Our highly skilled team of Tandem Instructors will make you feel safe and keep you entertained during your flight up in ‘Pinky’, our NZ made, skydiving specific aircraft. Our unique plane is painted pink and adorned with Maori designs and detailing, keeping the legends, beliefs and culture of our people alive.
The door will open and your instructor will introduce you to the incredible feeling of freefalling at200km/h (125mph) from 12,000ft (3,650m), 15,000ft (4,575m) or 18,500ft (5,638m) above Lake Taupo, followed by a 5-minute parachute ride down to a safe and controlled landing.
The greatest thing about a Tandem Skydive is that there is no previous experience or intensive training required. Because you’re paired with one of our expert Tandem Instructors, a few simple instructions are all you need to safely enjoy jumping out of a plane.
We also have an excellent range of HD video and photo packages available for you to choose from, we can pick you up in style from within Taupo in our FREE limousine and we also offer a FREE return shuttle to and from Rotorua.

What an experience!!
The freefall was breathtaking and afterwards enjoyed the scenery while gently flying down. I was even allowed to steer the parachute myself for a few moments. Got a fully monty with handy cam and freefall cam and video - great memory to take home and share. Would have chosen a more scenic spot though if doing it again.

Just chose a sunny day without clouds and it will be perfect. And take the jump from 15,000ft. It is a longer free fall.

Sam ,
Glad you thought it was good , but expensive ?
I`ll say the same as I said to Sophie below , guys , check out other Skydiving prices in NZ ( indeed the world !) Taupo is the best value you can get - views of the Tongariro & both coasts , a pick up in a limo ( we have just bought a nice brand spanking new one ) , plus here with us YOU get to choose your own music for the DVD !!!!
Thanks for the comments Sam - I will endeavour to" keep " Taupo the cheapest place to Skydive in NZ!

Also a great activity, but the prices for pictures and videos are totally unreasonable.
Did not really affect me because I do not mind having no pictures in the air, but it does make a lot of people spend! $250 for 12,000 feet is a good price.

I was really excited to finally go skydiving!
Unfortunately the weather wasn't the best. The staff wrote down our number so they could give us a call if the weather would change.
Luckily it did, and I had the best experience! It's the total package what I really liked about Skydive Taupo, the friendly staff, pink airplane, limousine and the opportunity to get good pictures or a movie. I did the 15000 feet jump, and I always will remember, especially whit the cool movie!
