“Very well run operation”

Reviewed 28 April 2012

We were very impressed with Abel Tasman Skydive - very professional, very friendly. Great place to Skydive - the views over Abel Tasman, the Tasman Bay, the mountains of the Kahurangi - right across to D'Urville Island and to the North Island were amazing. Definitely recommend going to 16.500ft. - they have some great options for photos and videos also.

Hey Team at Skydive Abel Tasman thank you for an awesome adventure on the weekend.

I did a tandem skydive from 5km up in the air. You are so high that they give you oxygen! Above the clouds! Free fall was 70 seconds which doesn't sound like long but when you are up there it is long enough! The view from up there is BEAUTIFUL. I could see a mountain that is in the middle... More

“A must experience”

Reviewed 17 February 2012 via mobile

Was very well taken care of during this experience. Stunning scenery from 13k feet!! Words can't explain the feeling as you jump out of a plane. Make sure you talk to your tandem-pro about spinning or not spinning during freefall, and bring your camera up there with you!!
