Really beautiful place for our first time skydiving. Our guides Ben and Jack were great. They made the whole experience super fun and easy. The first time we were booked, we checked in and watched two groups go before us. They had super smooth landings, and it’s cool to see that before you go. We were all geared up. We went up in the plane, and after a few minutes the pilot brought us back down. The wind had picked up and they didn’t want to risk us jumping when it was too windy. They made us feel super safe. The pilot was great. We had a really smooth landing on the plane. Then they helped try to find a time for us to still go during our trip. They got us rescheduled two days later. We got to go the last day of our trip, and it was so amazing. Beautiful views, crazy feeling free falling, super fun gliding down with the parachute, and perfect landing on our feet. We were ready to go again immediately, and both still can’t wait to go again.

This was the perfect way to celebrate our daughter’s high school graduation. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The tandem master divers made us feel safe and well taken care of. The views were incredible and we would 100% do it again. Thanks for an awesome experience.

This was an anniversary trio for my boyfriend and I, the first time skydiving for the both of us.. We wouldn't trade this experience for anything!! Not only amazing views but my jumpmaster Taylor put me at ease and made it so fun! I would absolutely recommend this to anyone 👌 Most incredible experience of my life 🤗

Unfortunately, when I arrived in Kauai, I was coming down with a nasty flu. Dave (who I believe is the owner) still encouraged me to jump even when I was bed ridden and coughing up my lungs. He helped me reschedule for later in the week after I recovered.
I'm so glad he did. It was my first time skydiving, and being in Hawaii, it was truly an unforgettable experience.
I've never ever felt the way I did as I jumped out of the plane -- it's a truly unique feeling. The view and experience was so absolutely breathtaking that it brought me to tears (the happy kind).
Jack was my jump partner and he did a great job at assuring me even when I was pressed firm against the plane wall. The whole crew was also very kind, welcoming, and assuring as I waited to get into the plane.
My only regret is not having the time to jump again! Now I'm back home, looking at local skydiving businesses so I can launch myself out of a plane again and again.
Thank you Skydive Kauai!!!!!

Had a good time with SkyDive Kauai. Arrived early for 8 am jump and got to know pilot’s interesting background.
My assigned DiveMaster was friendly and competent. I’m a quit person and he kept checking in with me to make sure I wasn’t having internal panic attack ! haha
I am glad I checked this off my bucket list ! What a beautiful back drop to experience my first skydive !

My girlfriend dove for the first time. My father (75) dove for the second time and I dove for the 4th time. SK was as professional and safety conscious as it could be. The guides kept us so comfortable by walking/talking us through everything. This is a must do experience.

Although I had a bad landing (my fault - keep your knees up!!!), I have no regrets. I ended up with a torn hamstring and other tendons but have recovered after 5 months. Being 77 at the time, I wish I had done this when I was younger while I was more flexible. We wish that our landings (my wife had a perfect landing) had been filmed by someone on the ground as part of the video package we purchased. It also would have been nice to have received an inquiry call or text the next day or regarding my condition.

Fun jump and company! First jump for grand daughter for her graduation, and it was 3rd for husband, this time on his birthday! We loved being able to sit and watch them, and to go out to the picnic table when they were coming down and watch them land.

This was the highlight of my trip! It was my first time skydiving and it felt so amazing! It is so worth it. They record a video that you can buy afterwards. Outstanding views with super friendly and professional staff. My instructor was Rocco, 10/10, he made the experience great! Definitely recommend.

My 19 year old daughter and I jumped on 8/31/24. Taylor and Ben were the best ever! They were total professionals and assuring. No stomach drop at all! Would/Will do it again. Also, get the photos/videos . . . absolutely worth the cost. Thank you Taylor and Ben for the life reset!

Late answer. They do video and pictures with a GoPro. $100

Do you get to see the Napali Coast on the flight? How much total time does the whole thing take up of your day? Website mentions possibly having to wait for optimal conditions.
Written August 26, 2019
The flight isn’t long at all; I believe 15 minutes total time to get to altitude. We had a great pilot who happened to see some whales travelling and breaching, so we followed them for a bit (and got them on on skydiving video). The pilot probably went an extra ten minutes for us to see whales. Unfortunately you skydive in an area that isn’t close enough to Napali coast where you would see it while skydiving. You are more at the foothills of the canyons and coast. Still an incredible and beautiful view!! Totally worth it!

Hi...I am wondering how much the tax and fuel surcharge come to. As well, I am legally blind without my glasses and need to know if there is any problem with wearing your goggles over prescription glasses..Has any of your clients had a problem with wearing glasses?
Written February 7, 2018
My husband wore his glasses under the goggles and it was no problem at all. After the free fall you can take off the goggles!

Hey!
How far out should we book our dive? We are 2 people coming in Jan.
We'd prefer to pay cash rather than plastic and also would like to know deposit / payment options
Thanks!
Written July 15, 2017
I think it would depend on the time of the year. We were able to book just a day ahead. You secure with a credit card but pay after your jump and may pay with any card or cash. It was an amazing experience we would like to do again.

Trying to decide if I want to do sky diving or helicopter tour. How scenic is the sky diving vs a helicopter tour?
Written December 26, 2015
I did both a sky dive and helicopter tour. Both are scenic but the skydiving is under 15 minutes (from start to finish) whereas my helicopter tour was one hour and you saw a lot more of the island of course.
