4.00The tandem jump with Skydive Australia at Airlie Beach was my first. Jump at all, and it was really an intoxicating experience. The instructors are Australia-typical relaxed and easygoing and do it with the necessary serenity. That Parachuting is not an inexpensive pleasure, of course. That's why I was a little annoyed by the Salamit tactics, which are gradually increasing costs. After booking the jump and immediate payment, I had to give my weight later on when checking in, whereupon I was charged another over 50 dollars extra. This could really have been mentioned directly when booking the jump, especially since booking and jumping were done the same day. Within the three hours I could not have gained much mass. You could have mentioned this sleepover directly. What I didn’t understand either, but what seems to be completely normal, is that although the instructor wears a helmet, the customer doesn’t. Otherwise, that was a great thing. Thanks to Instructor Greg who did a great job.
you have to skydive over whitsundays!

2.00I did my skydiving and it wasnt great because of my instructor. His name is Grant i think, he is the most experienced we told me. But maybe because of that he forget that he need to be careful if i get the best expérience possible. Why ? Because we went out of the plane fifth and we were the first arrive by far. In fact, when the parachute opened he didn’t let me enjoy the view or anything ( and the main reason i took the jump in this place was for the beautiful view) We just came straight down doing fast circle that made me sick ( impossible to take a second to look around it was turning to fast). In conclusion i still recommend it because it is a feeling to try once in your life, but hope for you that you will be luckyer than me on the instructor and his mood.
Do it!!

4.00A very good experience. Very professional and good instructors. We just had a problem my daughter with the photos and really the response was pretty rude of the person that the attention would have to put someone trained for customer service.
A real must do, amazing views

5.00My wife and had an amazing experience today doing early morning tandem jumps. I am afraid of heights but my instructor Mac was patient and explained everything to me in great detail and answered any questions I had, making me less nervous. Greg was my wife’s instructor and made her feel completely at ease and the banter between Mac and Greg relieved the tension. Once up the views were amazing and in honesty it was actually less scary than I had thought, the first few seconds of getting ready to jump and then leaving the plane were the worst and after that it was exhilarating and great fun. As someone scared of heights I can highly recommend doing the jump with Airlie beach skydiving.
Amazing!!
