5.00Absolutely Epic experience , The plane ride up was wicked thanks to the smooth Pilot and Prashant was an amazing Tandem master, made me feel super safe , breathtaking views and we had an incredibly soft landing! The camera flyer Lucie got some epic footage of the whole experience, thanks for an amazing afternoon team ! If you're in NZ highly recommend visiting Skydive BOI or Taupo and giving it a go- you wont regret it!! Would do it again in a heartbeat!
My first ever jump.

5.00A brilliant experience. My instructor, Prashant, was great and very likeable. He put me at my ease, this was my first time. Jokingly, he said it was also his. He clearly explained the sequence of things and what I needed to do. I was having the Gold experience which includes a video. Prashant took video sequences where needed and it made a very enjoyable video of my experience, plus loads of still shots. It was our last day in New Zealand and it was something I will never forget. Would I do it again? Yes I would, now I know what to expect, I will enjoy it all the more. Martin.
AMAZING

5.00Just did my dive on 23 Feb 23 @16500 ft. The whole team attending to us were professional and confident in guiding us through the process from the safety videos to gearing up. Got paired with Rhys Brady as my instructor - very personable and confident in what he was doing and that put me at ease instantly. It was a great experience that you gotta try it to understand it. Thank you very much!-
Professional, fun, relatable

5.00Bay Of islands skydive is very professional, great welcome, great introduction to the jump and great gears and premises, everything run smoothly professionally and fast. Prashant Kapoor was my instructor and he was awesome, made me wanna do it on my own, after proper training of course. With around 7000 jump he made me feel comfortable, safe, and the whole experience was a delight until you jump off the plane of course when you realise you love life. Even the deployement was smooth, I'm 6 feet and 100Kg and all was awesome. To do it again and again
