- rebeccaleijen0 contributionsGreat experienceReally enjoyed how looked after I was by the lady who jumped out with me. All nice staff. Great experience. Would definitely recommend.Written January 14, 2025
- H846ZXaimeem0 contributionsAmazing Skydive Abel TasmanJust the most incredible experience. I was lucky enough to have perfect jump conditions. The views were stunning over Abel Tasman. The team in Motueka are so friendly and made me feel really relaxed. The dive instructor Rod was an absolute star. He put me at ease, was chatty and knowledgeable and highlighted different places to me during the jump. It was so much fun, I immediately wanted to do another jump! Highly recommend Skydive Abel Tasman.Written December 4, 2024
- Road661602708350 contributionsAmazing all round, do it!!!Had an awesome time. The views are amazing and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Was a bit nervous beforehand but the team were so lovely that I was super comfortable and happy by the time I was getting in the plane! 100% recommend and will 100% be doing it again. Shout out to the lovely girl on reception too, she's awesome :) Thanks again guys! -AlannahWritten December 2, 2024
- Flemming S0 contributionsCrazy experience and definitely not the last skydiveWhen I did this, I was on the Student South Island trip with NZET. They offered us either to wait for another opportunity for Skydiving at another location but we chose not to wait. That was the best decision I could’ve made. It is unbelievable how nice all the instructors were. I got to jump with Anthony. He was incredibly cool and very funny. That was definitely not my last skydive!Written October 4, 2024

- Scenic181504163930 contributionsAMAZING JUMPING EXPERIENCE!!!This was an easy booking process and the entire crew worked around my schedule to make sure I could jump! I was only in town for 2 days and booked last minute. We had delays, but they made sure I could book within time so I could jump and the staff were ALL very friendly and invested in my enjoyment. I'm terrified of heights - TERRIFIED - and my jumper - Will - was kind, walked me through every single step, was very professional, and still had fun with me to make sure I was both comfortable and excited. Great crew, great experience, and I'll definitely jump again! This is a THRILL!!!!Written December 31, 2023
- dancG9198IC0 contributionsDon’t botherWe booked this skydive 3 weeks in advance for our honeymoon trip to New Zealand from the UK. Our travel times and accommodation were booked around the activities we had booked. We received an email 48 hours before the planned flight to say that they would have to reschedule as they didn’t have a pilot available after 12 (we had booked 1pm). Very poor service cancelling with such short notice, I wouldn’t recommend.Written November 28, 2023
- Culture499132395590 contributionsBest day of my life!!After significant changes in my life I decided to set myself the biggest challenge yet- and it was worth every nervous second on the build up! Hamish was kind, reassuring really clear with instructions and an all round super nice guy! I literally cannot wait to do it again! Thank you guys for the best experience I’ve ever had! Next stop- 16,500ft!Written February 28, 2023
- Traveler383905078920 contributionsWhat a time to be alive!What an experience! One of the best things I’ve ticked off in life so far. Everything is super chilled and explained perfectly. I highly recommend heading to these guys for a jump. The jump masters are all really chill and down to earth people (can’t remember the name of the bloke that took me, west coast good bugger). I will be back for the 20,000ft in January! Yeooow.Written January 21, 2023
- Sharon M0 contributionsFantastic!!!!Fantastic experience and amazing views. All the staff were very knowledgeable and chatty. There were also two gorgeous friendly dogs wandering round. The location is great. Friends and family have a great close up viewing point for take off and landing as it is right in front of the building. Outside tables and seats for them to relax while they wait. My daughter took a great video of me landing. I was lucky enough to do my sky dive with Jordan. He was super friendly and did a great job with the camera. Very very happy with my videos and photos.... well worth the extra cost. Definitely recommend paying extra and getting these. I also bought a teeshirt which was very readonably priced at only $30.Written December 28, 2022

Amazing experience. Jumped on a beautiful clear day. Rod was my jumpmaster and has over 16,000 jumps under his belt, which made me feel in safe hands. On the way up in the plane he did a great safety brief and also took the time to point out some of the sights. I went for the handheld camera footage and the results were decent. The staff were also dealing with a rude customer whilst we were there and dealt with the situation very well from what we could tell. All in all, a great experience and I’d wholeheartedly recommend.

I had fantastic, perfect diving weather, stunning scenery and my pilot, Rafael was both really friendly, professional, fab sense of humour and jase he feel really safe.
Would 100% recommend

Had our first skydive experience here ay 16,500 ft and absolutely loved it. All staff were friendly, approachable, and professional. We found the process great, the instructions succinct and easy to understand and felt like we were in good hands the whole time. Highly recommend.

Two pensioners (just) put their lives in the hands of 2 tandem skydivers, and enjoyed the most amazing experience.
Very professional and reassuring, we felt very safe in their hands, and what an incredible experience, free falling for 70 seconds over the most fabulous scenery.
Definitely a 5 star experience really makes you feel alive!!!

We had the best experience with the team at Abel Tasman Sky-dive. My daughter, 11yrs was super brave, (it was her idea in the first place), and the staff were very informative and friendly. The views over Abel Tasman are just 'Out of this World'. Will definitely do it again and highly recommend this team!

First time to play tandem skydive. It's awesome and amazing experience. The staff, instructor and videographer are so friendly and professional and had provided a very clear information prior as well as during the activity. The view from sky is super awesome. Spin on the sky is so fun. Love it so much. Thanks again the team.

Unbelievably incredible! The staff at Abel Tasman are so friendly and fun. They talked me and my friend through the entire process in tons of detail, calming our nerves as best they could. All the tandem skydivers are professional, so experienced, and a joy to be around. And don't even get me started on the view - spectacular! Our jump was postponed by a few hours so that the clouds could lift. (We got a call every hour updating us on the weather.) We are so thankfully we waited for the clouds to clear so we could see everything! We loved them so much that we skydived again at their dropzone in Franz Josef - a must as well!
