About
Blue skies, blue waters, golden sands and sunshine is what we’re all about. Oh, and we LOVE skydiving! The thrill, the buzz and the pure adrenaline rush is something we look forward to. Going skydiving in the Bay of Islands is an awesome way to experience all of that and more! Choose from our four skydive heights – 9,000 ft, 12,000 ft, 16,500 ft and of course, NZ's highest skydive at 20,000 ft! After jumping from a perfectly good plane, you’ll get a chance to soak up the scenery of all 144 islands that make up the Bay of Islands. The view is guaranteed to take your breath away, and the exhilarating free fall will have you buzzing long after your feet touch the ground! Skydiving in the Bay of Islands is truly an incredible experience. http://skydivebayofislands.com/

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Prashant was amazing, really put my at ease and made me feel confident, which is hard considering you’re about to jump out a plane! The team in general were great, very knowledgeable and supportive. Great packages available for pics, had an amazing time, couldn’t recommend enough!

Completed with dive with Contiki. Picked us up from our hotel and drove us to the airport where we were well looked after and quickly fitted into our jump suits. Offered us gloves for the cold morning. The plane ride was super smooth and felt very comfortable with my skydive instructor Prashant. Had the best dive, best experience of my life, loved the freefall. And once the parachute went up Prashant told me all the parts of the islands and let me steer the parachute. Super supportive and made the day so much better. Great start to my day and cannot fault this amazing experience. Definitely recommend to everyone.

AMAZING, AWESOME experience! It was my first time to tandem skydive and I'm not gonna lie I was nervous at the start but my instructor, David was great! He was very professional and provided clear cut instructions on what to expect and what to do that I felt really secure and comfortable the entire experience. If I had more time I would have done a second jump. Definitely a must thing to do when you're in the BOI!

The experience was.amazing. the instructor Prashant Was excellent.

The only issue I had was the exorbitant cost of inflight photos, so I gave these a miss, but other than all good.
