Put Paradise Skydive Glenorchy on the top of your to-do list - these guys do it best! Fiona, Andy, Oli and oh my gosh the infamous Mac - you guys kick bottom on every level! So much fun and totally professional. My 2nd and also my favourite skydive experience in Queenstown. Great scenery, great knowledge from Mac as we flew... More

Fantastic, my first tandem skydive, they take you up in small groups of 3, and have a perspex door so you can take in the views all the way up. Made the whole experience really enjoyable, though were a little late to pick us up from Queenstown - but they did pick us up!

I did the 15,000 ft jump with CJ and had a fantastic time :) As a tour guide myself having also grown up in Glenorchy, it's not very often that I get out and into the other attractions of the area. THIS trip however, is one I would highly recommend! Right from the get-go me and my boyfriend were welcomed... More

We had a 15,000 ft jump with the guys at Paradise. What fun, but also great professionalism. We had a pleasant drive to the air strip by the lake in the valley between 5000 ft mountains. The crew gave very clear instructions so we knew what to expect. Although professional they made it great fun. As an aviator I could... More

Something that I've wanted to do for a very long time finally came to fruition. From the moment I got on the transfer courtesy bus the driver (Fiona) made everyone feel welcome and very relaxed. A little stop on the way to the airport for a few snaps and a little talk on the mountain range we were shortly going... More

In the morning I did my first Skydive of 15000 feet and I can definitely say that it was one of the best things I have ever done. The team was very professional and everything started at the office at Shotover Street. From there we made our way up on the scenic route to the airfield near Glenorchy. Already the... More

Did my first skydive from 15,000ft and it is the best thing I have ever done, seriously! Luckily I had clear blue skies. My instructor Ollie (I'm 90% sure that was his name) was quality.. Joking around whilst we got kitted up and ready, made me and the others very relaxed and comfortable. He was thorough with his instructions (when... More

This was my second skydive and it was awesome. The staff were friendly and made everyone feel relaxed. The views were out of this world, much prettier than Taupo where I did my first dive. Karl let me pull my own parachute which was crazy!! I'd highly recommend them. The bus ride to the jump site was great too, lovely... More

My 1st skydive, tandem jump with my brother in law Olly "the big scot". Really professional and make you feel as relaxed as possible (not an easy task). Would definitely recommend this jump site to others. Brian from Aberdeen/Scotland
