5.00Wow, what an experience. We are family of 4 who had always wanted to skydive but as newbies we were somewhat nervous. We needn’t have been as the guys at Tayranga skydive were professional, reassuring and all over brilliant. We booked to go in the morning but the weather prevented us, the team promptly called us to apologise and then called us back later in day when the weather cleared. Getting there is a 10min taxi from beach/port we were kitted out in what looked like new kit/harnesses and reassured, then we met our ‘instructors’ Kitch and Mitch.. Both were amazing at ensuring everyone felt confident and enjoyed their jump. We took the 15k feet jump, the views are amazing, literally breathtaking and you’d be hard pressed to find a better location of mountains, sea, high surf, meadows, islands lagoons, lakes etc. The plane ride is a 20min climb, the guys are triple checking everything then the door opens and off u go, they obviously do everything and you just need to enjoy this unique experience. I’d highly recommend for experienced divers given the views and for newbies given how good the team are there .. we’d deffo do it again, all sorted in around 90mins to 120mins
Wonderful staff

5.00We arrived in Tauranga on a cruise ship. In my research, it came up that skydiving was a great way to see the views of the Bay of Plenty. The staff was wonderful. They were very communicative in the days leading up to our visit with the weather systems they were watching. Our tandem jumpers were wonderful; they were sensitive to my nervousness will encouraging my sons’ excitement. I highly recommend this outfit.

5.00Incredible experience. Staff was professional, friendly & made me feel safe throughout the whole process. Views from 15,000 feet over Tauranga and the Bay of Plenty were absolutely stunning, and the adrenaline rush of the freefall was unforgettable. The instructor was experienced, and safety measures were top-notch. I highly recommend this unforgettable skydive! Make sure to get the video. It's great to watch after.
