Fabulous, Safe and Professional - It was a blast! The whole experience felt very safe and extremely professional. It was clear the whole team at Tandem Skydiving Taupo loved skydiving. My tandem master, Ben Drysdale is excellent. He is safe, caring, extremely capable and professional. I felt completely safe and comfortable doing the skydiving with him.

What a wonderful experience! - My 13 year old daughter has been desperate to skydive and finally got the opportunity in Taupo. Despite miserable weather on the day she was booked, TTS continually rebooked her reservation until the weather cleared late the next day and she was able to jump. Her Jumpmaster G Hemingway was excellent, fun and made her feel comfortable. I love that TTS always answered the phone, were helpful and friendly, and ultimately made a girls' dream come true.

Lower elevation recommended - I wouldn't say that this was a last minute decision, but it was the last activity we added to a detailed itinerary for two weeks in NZ. Two of our family went while the other two visited Huka Falls, where we were picked up by the Skydiving van. We had a bit of a wait, as they waited for the clouds to clear a bit. It was worth the wait, and we were still all done within three hours. As for the jump itself, the first part, the freefall, was intense. It was a challenge to just breathe. After the parachute was opened, it was much more relaxing and enjoyable. Seeing Lake Taupo and the surrounding area for a few minutes while slowly descending cannot be described in words. We did the jump from 12000 feet. I'd recommend 9000 feet if it's available, unless you think you'll enjoy the freefall. The guides were great. We felt as comfortable as possible. Perhaps what most impressed is how the guides steered us right back to the office on the way done. I though that they would call the van to pick us up and drive us back to the office, but no, we landed right next to where our plane took off! I would do it again, though my neck still aches over two weeks later. Afterwards we ended up purchasing the exit photo from the plane. It will be one of the most unique photos you could have.

If my 9-year old can do it - so can you! What a thrill - What an experience!. After my husband done a dive (with the excellent Damien) on Monday, all the family took the opportunity to take part on the following Friday. My girls are only 9 and 11 and say it was the best experience of their lives. I jumped at TTS 20 years ago as a 17 year old and it was amazing to be able to bring my children back to experience the thrill for themselves. Our partners Adam, Martin, Elad and Ian were fantastic. So supportive, so encouraging and really great with the kids. It was just the best possible way to end our far-too-short trip to New Zealand and we are stoked to have had the chance to do it. Thank you to everyone at TTS - keep jumping!!

Jump of a life time - What a awesome experience. It was mind blowing to jump 12ft. I cant thank Damian enough for his reassurance and knowledge. I felt so safe and pleased I can tick that off my bucket list. 10/10 Thank you so much.

Without a good tandem master not worth it - The whole experience really depends on your tandem master. Mine was Elad. He was late at first and didnt give me any feeling of security. It wasnt nice seeing my friends get encouraged by their tandem masters and talking about their jumps while standing there alone and completely lost. During the skydive I was hurt and in pain but Elad did not care at all. Made me really angry to see that everyone else had a good time exept me considerin how expensive it was. With a different tandem master I would have enjoyed everything better
