Thank you so much for this unbelievable experience!
Thank you for Damian Atkinson (coolest aussie ever) and Damian Malkin for taking care of us. All the lovely ladies at the reception, and every awesome crew member! Please choose the “Guru” option for your jump. It is something that you want to watch again and again! Will be back soon!

A very special experience, one that I will never forget!
I personally found the atmosphere a bit too young/hip/backpackers, but that is just a detail, because it was an unforgettable day!
Thanks Sandra! And thanks for the feedback regarding the atmosphere, we'll take that into account.

Amazingly friendly people, taking good car of you and I never felt scared though I was about to jump out of a plane!!
Amazing feeling, and if I had the money, I would have done it again!
Awesome! Thanks Laerke, hopefully we'll see you again one day!

They are so professional and very personal.
The different camera options are so amazing. The freefall video is so personal. They are the cheapest place in New Zealand.
Thanks Mikkel, we've just changed our freefall video to be more personal so it's awesome to hear that you like it. Thanks for taking the time to review us!

I did a 15000 ft jump and paid a lot for videos and photos which we did not know from the website.
However, it was a good experience.

The skydive in Taupo was the first one I ever did and it was amazing!
I did the 15,000ft jump without any video package. The jump was one of the best experiences of my life, especially the moment you jump out of the plane.
Thanks for the awesome review Luca!

Fantastic experience!
All staff were so nice and very good at calming your nerves. Views were incredible. Wish the photo and video add ons were not so expensive.
Thanks for jumping with us Tom! Just so you know our camera packages are some of the best-priced in New Zealand, and unfortunately there's not much we can do to bring that price down!

Was very exciting, well organised with extremely friendly staff.
Well priced for a sky dive. Wish the camera packages were cheaper.
Thanks for the review Matt! Our camera packages are some of the best-priced in New Zealand, and unfortunately we can't make them any cheaper. Great to hear that you enjoyed the jump!

If you have never skydived - do it!
We did the 15,000 ft dive which I would recommend over the 12,000 ft as it happens so quickly so the longer the better. Had sore ears after but well worth it. The view was gorgeous!
Thanks for the review Natasha, sorry to hear about your ears!

A bit pricey but I guess that is normal.
First tandem skydive ever. Crystal clear sky, in the East is the Pacific and in the West the Tasman Sea and in the South Mt Doom.
Thanks for the review Hans, just so you know we are the best-priced jump in NZ!

Absolutely amazing, felt completely safe and the jump was fantastic, as always photos are expensive but we persuaded a lady with a photo package on our jump to have one taken and then emailed - much cheaper

Free wifi and a nice area to hang out while you wait to take off.
Very friendly and fun staff. You don't meet your tandem master until you are basically in the plans which is a bit nerve-racking. You suck on plane fumes for a while if you sit in the back of the plane. Peter was my tandem master and he was great. Once in a lifetime experience.

AFF Course/A license to skydive solo.
Amazing instructors - knowledgable, passionate and fun. Beware: overly opportunistic on length of time needed to complete the course.

It was my first skydive and I really enjoyed it.
I would do this again. The Company was really friendly. Had a pickup and dropoff service.
