Was very well taken care of during this experience. Stunning scenery from 13k feet!! Words can't explain the feeling as you jump out of a plane. Make sure you talk to your tandem-pro about spinning or not spinning during freefall, and bring your camera up there with you!! More

To be honest we didn't have the courage to do any jumps, although it looked like a well run operation,but boy did we have some fun watching. Driving past we saw activities going on, so stopped for 5 minutes, ended up staying for more than an hour, watching planes and people taking off, jumps, landing etc. If you have some... More

It was our first time doing skydive and I am very happy that we chose Skydive Able Tasman to broaden our adventure!! My husband and I chose the 16,500 ft. package and it is the best experience ever. The team was very thoughtful and considerate to give us several calls before and on our booking date due to the weather... More

From start to finish the company are very thorough. They know how to calm your nerves and it's really obvious they are highly experienced and good at what they do. When the chute was pulled it felt gentle and didnt pull. The first few seconds of the jump is the best! ..so thrilling and dont close your eyes, the view... More

I did this skydive on a Topdeck trip in July from 16500 ft and it was insane. Glad I did it, when the parashute opens you get an amazing view! It was winter as well so got to see the snow capped mountains. Definitely get the dvd and pics, expensive but worth it there amazing. My only tip would be... More

We jumped from 16,500 ft. Their team is fantastic, makes one feel welcome and very safe. The experience to jump from 16,500 is incomparable. Take the whole video package and enjoy the views from their terrace while they prepare your video. The expense is totally worth it to have the memory! More
