I can't recommend this place highly enough....the best experience ever and everyone should try it!!! I done a 10000ft skydive in the uk and it cost over £400 inc DVD. At this place in NZ, for a little over the equivent of £300 I got 10 times the experince! I jumped from 15000, exit photo, personal camerman footage, handycam footage,... More

What a way to start the day. Just awesome. Would recommend the 15000. My girlfriend and I jumped this morning and are still on a high from it. Our tandem masters were amazing and looked after us perfectly, thank you to all especially Liam and Kirsty. Everyone should do this at least once in their lives

Phoned up the day before we wanted to do a tandem sky dive (partly out of cowardice & possible hope they wouldn't be able to fit us in!), but they had availability & sounded really enthusiastic and friendly. Then I tried not to think about it for the next 24 hours! On arrival everyone appeared laid back, fun loving but... More

Absolutely wonderful experience from the moment we walked in the door. Extremely safety conscious and made us feel comfortable. Our tandem masters were experienced, funny and friendly. We all got the free all camera and our pictures were worth the price. Great memories. Thanks TTS.

Lake Taupo is the sight for skydiving in NZ and Taupo tandem is probably the best. The diving instructors at Taupo Tandem are very experienced. My tandem instructor Alan had done over 5000 skydives. Dive costs $249 and Freefall photos and video cost additional $180 (worth paying for it as an instructor dives along to take the video/photos - far... More

I loved my two experiences sky diving with Taupo Tandem Skydiving. All of the equipment and plane were high quality, comfortable and made me feel safe. Furthermore, the certified sky divers that you dive with are very fun, friendly, and yet professional. I did the 15000 ft sky dive which was tons of fun but also very scenic.

This company made the skydive one of the best experiences of our honeymoon. Friendly and professional from start to finish - I was totally put at ease. We went for the 15,000ft jump and declined the various photo/dvd/t-shirt packages - I was pleased to see that the 'upselling' wasn't too persistant. Perfick!

I made my husband wait to do this activity until our three sons were grown - but had I known of Taupo Tandem Skydiving I'd have let him do it sooner!! They look after everybody here - even the nervous-nelly non-jumping spouse. I've been a US Travel Agent for 32 years and was very impressed with the whole outfit, from... More
