This is one of the most fantastic experiences I’ve had period. The rush is amazing and the folks there are all brilliant at making sure you get the best possible experience for your first skydive! The views in this area are second to 0 and it’s difficult to imagine that you get better views from anywhere else in the world. The bay of plenty looks stunning from 15000 ft and you also be able to get a good view of mount doom. I was also lucky enough to see an erupting volcano out to sea. One extra thing to add is that the plane is wonderful and whoever had the idea to use a plastic chicken for the countdown signal is a genius!

An epic experience! The guys at Skydive Tauranga are very friendly and experienced. I appreciated how chill they were and how chill they made the process. It did not feel like a daunting thing with all of these warnings and safety rules. They just told you what to do and you did it. You go with one other jumper, two instructors, and a pilot, so the amount of people is not overwhelming at all. So much fun!
Spectacular tandem experience

*5/5 Stars* "I'm still grinning from ear to ear after my skydiving experience! The instructors were top-notch, friendly, knowledgeable, and made me feel comfort & courageous . the safety procedures were thorough checked for couple of times and the views were simply breathtaking. The rush of free-falling was exhilarating, and the parachute ride was serene. I'd highly recommend this to anyone looking for thrill-seekers and adventure enthusiasts for experiencing adrenaline rush!:)
Definitely doing this again!

AMAZING! My first tandem skydive and I was paired up with Kitsch, immediately felt at ease once he said how many jumps he's done! Talked through the views on the way up in the plane, reassuring and just kept the stoke the whole time. Upon the jump it was so smooth and just breathtaking! Easy landing and lil shuttle back to the carpark at reception to catch your breath. Can't wait to do this again x
