5.00This was a 50th birthday gift. Staff were fantastic and really friendly. Jump was AMAZING. Couldn't take my eyes off the view so worth it.

5.00We’ve had such a great time. The staff was very friendly and always there to help and answer question. It did take us almost 4 hours for the whole experience, so we waited a few hours but it was worth it! Rod and Will were our guides and we felt very safe with them. They did such a great job! Thanks so much!
Great first skydive experience

5.00We 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!
Highlight of my entire trip to NZ

5.00Unbelievably 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!
Awesome jump with Rod

5.00Amazing 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.
Just wow

5.00Two 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!!!
