Disappointed by Scheduling Gaps

New Zealand weather can be unpredictable, which we understand. We originally booked a 16,000 ft dive for December 27th, but it was rescheduled to December 30th at 10:00 AM. Pickup was on time at 8:30AM(1 star for that), and we arrived at the venue promptly, having completed the waiver a week in advance to speed things up. Despite being on time, the briefing took place, but 10:00 AM came and went with no updates. By 11:00 AM, we were still waiting, and even at noon, we were waiting as they tried to catch up with other morning bookings. Around noon, the wind picked up, and all dives were suspended. If the schedule had been adhered to, we would have completed the dive before the weather turned. Instead, due to poor planning, we lost another day of our vacation. While we received a refund, the day was wasted. We had canceled other plans for the 30th because of the rescheduling, so we effectively lost one of our four days in NZ. Later, I was told that the reservation states you should allow five hours for the experience, which doesn’t make sense if you assign specific time slots like 10:00 AM. I understand they can’t control the weather, but better scheduling and time management would greatly help customers—especially international travelers who plan their days carefully.
Exhilarating!

Awesome, exhilarating but totally professional experience. We had great tandem masters: Owen, James, Blizby(?), Aaron and Simon. They explained everything thoroughly, made sure we were properly geared up and gave us a terrific ride and safe landing. 100% recommend

had an incredible experience skydiving with Robbie! From start to finish, Robbie was professional, knowledgeable, and made me feel completely safe. He explained everything clearly, guided me step by step, and his calm and friendly demeanor made the whole experience so much fun. Thanks to Robbie, my first skydive was not only thrilling but also completely unforgettable. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an amazing skydiving instructor!
Indescribable!

My boyfriend and I had an incredible experience doing the 13,000 foot jump at Skydive Auckland. I would 1,000,000% recommend to anyone considering a skydive. Our driver, Mark, collected us at Skytower perfectly on time, and the drive out to the venue was comfortable. (Would recommend driving yourself if you’re in a rush afterwards, but we were happy to hang around and grab a coffee while we waited for Mark to come back and bring us home). Oliver and Alex were so helpful getting us checked in and teaching us all the safety for the jump. We anlso recieved our photos annd videos super quickly anfter we landed. Our tandem masters, James and Jacob were great fun, and we both felt safe with them throughout the experience. I don’t have words for the dive itself. It was out of this world, and I’ll be recommending it to anyone who will listen!
Just fabulous!

Excellent well oiled establishment, from the pick up with friendly Mark, the welcoming ground crew from Alex and Glenn. A very safe pilot Max and last but not least a fab tandem instructor James. I would absolutely recommend this organisation and sky diving for your first time. You’re in excellent hands.

Amazing experience from start to finish. The ground crew, especially Joseph and Alex, were welcoming and made us feel completely at ease. Our pilot Max Pierce was fantastic and our instructors Simon and Ballzy were absolutely outstanding. Their energy, confidence, and enthusiasm made the jump unforgettable. We highly recommend experiencing a skydive in Auckland New Zealand. Eva-Talia, and Kyle B from the USA

Amazing experience. Every crew was so nice and professional. I was not worried at all. I trusted all of them specially our pilots Pierce and Max and my jump staff Jacob and Elio . I had a great experience from the start to finish. Even the ground staff Glenn & Joe and the drivers who pick us up to and from the hotel Pierce & Connor are very nice. I’d love to do it again. Cheers to the whole crew for being so professional, kind and accommodating. Our experience was so smooth from booking til the end. No hassle at all. Plus the photos and videos are all very good.
Best Godamm experience ever
