Risk Warning: Your participation in parachuting activities is inherently dangerous and may involve risks. These risks include, but are not limited to those arising from prevailing conditions such as weather or health conditions you may have. Despite careful packing, the parachute may open abruptly or not open correctly which may result in injury. Unintended incidents may occur during the aircraft flight, descent or on landing.
Parachuting is done at the parachutists' own risk. Any person parachuting, training to parachute, flying in any aircraft being used for parachuting or participating in any activity carried out by Skydive Australia may only do so on the distinct understanding that they do so entirely at their own risk.

What To Expect
Start with professional training from a qualified tandem master and learn what to expect on your skydive. After you suit up — the gear includes a harness and skydiving goggles — settle into the plane for a quick flight. When you reach maximum altitude, psych yourself up for a jump that has you free-falling for 60 seconds at insane speeds. When your tandem master pulls the parachute cord, you'll float under a colorful canopy for an additional 5- to 7-minute parachute ride to the ground. It's a good time to catch your breath and soak up the coastal views of Wollongong, the Southern Sydney beaches, Royal National Park and Illawarra. You’ll land next to one of the best surfing beaches in New South Wales. Each sky diver receives a commemorative skydive certificate. You can also buy video and photo packages.

5.00What an experience! I’ve always wanted to try skydiving and this one made me appreciate the experience - the fun activity and the way it was executed. I’d say it’s become one of the top things I’ve done in my life. Thanks to my instructor Mitch, he made me feel safe! Now I want to do a solo skydive. 😆🫶🏼
The company cancelled the trip.

1.00The trip never happened. I phoned them on the morning of the trip and they told me that it had been cancelled because the pilot was sick. It was impossible to reschedule as it was the last day of my vacation and I had to fly back to Toronto (today). They said that Trip Advisor would deal with my refund. Please send back the fee that I paid. Craig Christenen
Incredible once in a lifetime experience

5.00This was an absolutely incredible and once in a lifetime experience! We did this with family when visiting them in Wollongong and considering we were going to be jumping out of a plane we felt really excited and not as nervous as we thought we’d be thanks to the friendly staff. On the flight before the jump you see some unreal scenery and the free fall was like nothing I’ve ever felt before. They even let us control the parachute for some of it towards the end! We can all say that we loved every second of the experience and would definitely do it again!
Unforgettable experience!

5.00Super incredible experience, flying way above Wollongong in a little private plane, to extremely great service and an experience you’ll never forget! My tandem/guide was incredible and made the experience so fun and enjoyable, there was no time to think too much or get scared and he guided me through the experience making it so seamless too! We came in winter, and they provided warm fleece jumpers and pants, making sure that we stayed warm during the descent◡̈ The photos are also a great way to remember the experience!

1.00It was raining the night before and I messaged them asking if they will let me know if cancelled prior to the 0650 departure no response. I went to departure and was told cancelled that day due to weather. I then messaged trying to reschedule and they responded hours later they did but no transportation I then replied asking for the address to taxi there and no response. I did not get refunded for this. They were quick to respond once they had my money then ghost mode. Be weary
Definitely do this!

1.00We rented a car and drove 2 hours to Sydney only to have our session cancelled 13 minutes before we were scheduled. The reason was a temporary air control flight hold, given they were already runnint late on previous jumps, we wouldn’t have enough day light. Partial uncontrollable circumstances, partially their fault for running late on earlier flights. We were forced to extend our car rental and buy accommodation for the night in order to make the reschedule the following morning. When we tried to get compensation at the help desk, they were extremely unhelpful. Our compensation was a choice between some hat or $17 AUD (3% of total cost). We were told this was a favor because the policy is no compensation. Sort of a crazy thing to hear. The last minute communication, the extra costs, and lack of compensation was really disappointing.
Bucket list ✅

5.00This was a bucket list activity. Being picked up from Sydney made it so easy & convenient. The staff were all great, inspired confidence and made it an unforgettable experience. Jumping over the Wollongong was beautiful. I loved seeing the hills and the beach - incredible. Remember if you are on any medication you need to bring a letter from your family doctor to say you’re fit to jump.
Cool views, awkward vids

4.00Photo package is insanely pricey, and pros were a bit pushy with getting content. Not really my thing! Otherwise, super cool and fun experience.
