I, along with 2 friends, decided that I couldn't leave NZ without trying either a bungee jump or skydive. We (sensibly) decided that a 15,000ft freefall was going to be more exciting and better value than a ~200ft fall with a rope tied to our feet, and this was the best decision we could have made. 2 of us went...

Taupo tandem skydive, one of the best things I have ever done in my life, from start to finish I felt totally safe and at ease, Freddie, my tandem master had completed over 20 000 jumps, he checked and double checked all my harness until he was satisfied it was perfect. I opted for the 12000 ft jump and it... More

I've always wanted to fall through the clouds and I did exactly that. I did my send and third sky dives here. Both were brilliant, but the third was definitely the best. Wanaka has the view, Taupo has the attitude. I knew I was in good hands the minute I walked in the door. The whole team was extremely professional,... More

My husband took me to do this trip for my birthday on our last day in NZ. It is the absolute highlight of my holiday and would also easily be one of the top three experiences I've ever had in my life! We chose to do the 15,000ft jump because it affords you around 25-30 seconds longer to enjoy the... More

From the minute I walked into the Taupo Tandem Skydiving unit the moment I walked out, I felt completely safe! The team were so professional and my instructor talked me through everything in detail so that I could keep my nerves at ease and enjoy the whole experience. Jumped from 15,000 feet and enjoyed every second of it and wanted... More

Amazing trip, amazing jump, loved every second! Was totally nervous on the ground, the guys changed that as soon as I got on the plane. Jumped from 15,000 ft, only way to do it!

My first tandem sky-dive was a great experience. I went to 15 000 feet and the view was definitely worth it. They do try to up-sell you on videography / photography services, but I didn't bother with those. My Swedish jump-master, Patrik, was calm and confident. He let me have a go using the parachute controls whilst we floated down.... More

First ever tandem skydive. Free pick up from the hostel was great. Good initial briefing on arrival discussing photo packages, and good safety briefing. Tandem master and other staff made me feel at ease about the jump. Minor things that could be improved - as I waited for the jump I noticed all of the other skydivers being introduced to... More

My boyfriend and I did the 15,000ft skydive with Taupo Tandem Skydiving and had a wonderful time. All the staff were brilliant- really friendly, approachable and made you feel excited about the dive. We were picked up from our hotel and taken to the airfield. The only thing I would say about the lady who did the introduction is that... More
