I went with a nervous friend and Jeff and Reineir were very supportive and professional and that made our experience . It’s 9000RS per couple for the experience and the video . The views and overall experience are excellent and can we felt safe at every stage . If you can please experience this with views to die for , sorry for using this word 😀

This was an amazing experience made even better by Jeff's reassuring expertise and friendliness and having no previous jumps I would happily do it again.

Skydive Plettenberg Bay provide the most amazing tandem experience. It was my first time and words cannot capture how amazing this is.
The whole team are organized as clockwork to take care of their clients. It's obvious that safety is important as well as making everyone welcome and relaxed. Jeff was my instructor and seems to be more at home flying through the air than on the ground. He is a legend and make my jump everything you'd want your first jump to be.
I got a video of the jump and it is a really amazing memory.

Keep in mind they do not control the weather and there is a limit of 100kg to take a jump.

We had to refund our payment since the weather was not suitable to do the skydiving, and we had to reschedule our booking more than once,but still the weather was bad,

Ones we told them we want to refund our payment the customer service was very very unprofessional, they said it will take one week , now its has been more than a 1 month and even they are not responding to our email neither WhatssUp !!

Don’t know what to do, and how to get our refund back ! Until now 3 weeks and no one responded.

The best part of this activity is the experience. I booked for a family who wanted to sky dive and chief among them was one young man who had waited for 4 years to sky dive.

The family had been to Europe all these 4years on holiday without getting an opportunity to dive and this Youngman told his family that if there is no sky diving I am not coming with you to Africa. At last Garden Route Sky Diving delivered a top drawer performance.

Thanks to Ettiean a great communicator and the Sky diving instructors. After booking we had to postpone cause the weather wasn't condusive since my clients had requested a beach landing - a very narrow strip which needed absolute precision. Man o Man they delivered. What a performance. My young client who waited for 4 years was left in tears of Joy.

One of the best experiences of my life!
Everything went smoothly from my initial contact with Etienne to the jump to receiving my video afterwards.
I booked in advance as it was December and confirmed with Etienne the day before that everything was still fine for the jump. He asked me to come a bit earlier for better weather which was great!
The flight up was beautiful!
I jumped with Jeff who was really friendly and had lots of experience and he put me at ease from the beginning. On the flight up he showed me things from the plane such as Robberg Nature Reserve and the Bloukrans bridge.
The jump was fantastic!
I took the video option which was such a good choice as the video was well captured. Would’ve liked a slightly higher resolution video but love it nonetheless.
By the end of the day I had my edited video in my inbox.
The staff at Sky dive Plett are all wonderful and would definitely recommend this experience!

Wow. What an experience. We were the only sky dive booked on Feb 25th, my husband and I, we arrived early to find six blokes waiting for us. One pilot, three on the ground (two to help us land) and two tandem skydivers, Jeff and Reinier. Both skydivers were very experienced and made us feel very safe. They gave us a safety briefing and off we went. The views from the plane were amazing, we climbed for about 25 minutes before the jump. The jump was the most exhilarating thing we have ever done. It was awesome!!! Thanks to all involved and would fully recommend.
