Customer Reviews

A must do in life, was my first (and definitely not the last) time skydiving and I went at 16500ft. I jumped with Samir (hopefully I remember correctly the name) and he was super professional and helpful throughout the whole process. As a first timer couldn’t be luckier to share this experience with him. The free fall is out of this world and a feeling that you can’t describe unless you try it. The video option from a third person perspective would have been amazing but too pricey for me, as I rather to spend that amount to make another jump. That’s a personal opinion though so super recommended it

Wow, what an absolutely incredible experience jumping from 11,500ft overlooking the stunning views of the Mackenzie! This was such a surreal experience all the way from the plane ride with Ollie as our pilot, to the actual jump with the incredible tandem master Meagan! Thanks so much to the whole team and also to Fran at the front desk for making everything run smoothly!

The feeling of free falling is truly an experience that is out of this world. Big thanks to the instructors who guided us through the entire experience! I tandem jumped with Ling, his professionalism and calm demeanor gave me strong reassurance that I was in good hands. I felt taken care of throughout the whole experience, every step was well explained and we knew what to expect. Ollie did an amazing job with the videos too (booked an outside cam to document the experience). A bonus point is that Lake Pukaki/Mount Cook is definitely stunning on a good day, a sight to behold 👏
