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.

I recently did a tandem sky dive for my 65 birthday at Tilstock and the whole experience was amazing from start to finish. The atmosphere is relaxed so that helped with the pre jump nerves, everyone involved is so friendly and helpful. The pre jump training is great as they have you hanging in a harness and show you how to land along side the professional you will be jumping with which is lovely as you can make a bond before you jump, from there on they are with you every step of the way helping you get the kit on and getting on the bus to the plane. My professional was called Rich and he was absolutely amazing he was so much fun and really reassuring he made the experience the best it could possibly be. I also paid for photos which I'm so glad I did as family and friends are not close to where you land so could only get some photos as we glided near by with the parachute. Rich was so kind and took me close to where my family was watching so they could wave and so could I. The photographer was called Jenny and she took some fab picture she also was very chatty and lovely and calming like the rest of the staff. I would 100% recommend this company and experience and would love to do it all again I'd like to say a big thank you to Rich and Jenny for an awesome birthday experience.

I couldn’t recommend Skydive Tilstock Free Fall club enough for their extreme professionalism, friendliness and safety throughout. We had to wait a little while as weather conditions had changed but they were very thorough and when the time came to being able to fly for the dive they were fantastic! Informative safety briefing and all instructors were positive, friendly and knowledgeable. My instructor Soupy was brilliant, constantly reassuring and made my whole experience so pleasant and stress free. He took time to point out locations to me on the dive and made me feel safe, comfortable and at ease. I would highly recommend them and even hope to be back to do it again (which I never thought I’d even do it the once) most incredible experience I’ve ever had. The best 30th birthday present ever!!

Wow! What an experience! Everyone at Tilstock were amazing from the lead up to the actual day itself. It was cloudy during the morning so we waited just over 3 hours to jump but they kept us up to date while we waited with regular checkins. Once the cloud clear enough we were off! Feel lucky that we were able to jump on our first date! We took part for a charity skydive so it was completely out of our comfort zone but what an incredible experience. A huge thank you the Ben (tandem partner) and Wilko (camera flyer) for making the experience so memorable and fun! Would definitely recommend paying extra for the video/photos as you get to relive the experience over and over again when back on solid ground. Wow, wow, wow!!

Was a brilliant experience! I did a tandem skydive for my upcoming 18th birthday and was amazed by how friendly everyone was, the atmosphere was equally friendly and joyful however always felt serious enough that I never felt in danger. The skydive was brilliantly conducted and felt perfectly safe as well as allowing for opportunities I had not expected such as being able to control the parachute for a decent time.
Overall I 100% expect to return at some point in the future and highly recommend that others try for themselves since words cant do the experience enough justice.

Skydive Tilstock hosted our charity jump for the Peter Pan charity. I can honestly say that every aspect of the day was perfect. It was truly one of the most amazing experiences of my life. The staff create the perfect balance of serious techincal safety and excited fun. Even though they make hundreds of jumps each year they totally understand that some people will be scared, some will be over-excited! I was chatting to one of the tandem instructors before my job and even though he wasn't in my group he came to find me later to ask how I found it. The cafe is run by a wonderful team and I had a much needed veggie sausage sandwich when we arrived! I felt totally safe throughout my jump, which meant I was able to take in every moment and enjoy it completely. A huge thanks to Buzz, Laura and the team for making our visit a wonderful day in every sense.

What an amazing experience. I went with my daughter we were booked in for 10am and got there about 9.40 . The lady on reception asked if we had eaten and advised me that it would be better if I did have some food. My daughter booked for photos to be taken and I opted for the video. You then watch a video that gives you guidelines on what to expect.Unfortunately it was cloudy in the morning so we couldn't go up. At about 1.45 the sun came through and our names were called. You then get to meet your instructor and get into your harness by this time I felt a mixture of excitement and panic! But the instructors are brilliant laughing and keeping you talking so to try to keep you from being too nervous. You practise your banana, the shape your body has to be when you leave the plane! You are then taken to the plane, the one thing I really noticed is they are very safety conscious not just checking your harness but each others equipment as well. Then your on the plane, OMG I still can not believe I did this.
The leaving the plane is like nothing you'll ever do again ( unless like me you want to do it again ) You drop from 13000 to 5000 ft so fast all the time I was being videod,
Then the parachute opens , my instructor Andy had already asked if I was up for some fun and I had said yes, he spun me round and round and let me take control of the chute which is fabulous . The views are amazing. It really is one off the bucket list,I haven't stopped talking about it ! The only dissappointment of the day was that the instructor who was videoing me both cameras had failed ( so another reason to do again!!!! ) so I didn't get to see myself coming out of the plane, I do have some photos from on the plane and coming into land though as my daughter had wanted photos.
All I can say if you have ever thought about doing this , then get it booked you'll have the most Fantastic Experience !!!!!!!!!!
Just a tip take something to do as you may have to wait around if the weather is not playing ball.

Absolutely fantastic experience with brilliant staff who make the whole thing lots of fun. We did a tandem skydive and the people we jumped with and camera man were absolutely brilliant. Only down side is we had a 7 hrs wait due to the lovely British weather...when the cloud cleared the wind was too strong. Nothing they could change or mitigate, just something to be aware of as the weather is so often rubbish here. And only other slight grumble is you can't bring your own food and drink into the waiting area which I totally get when you're waiting a few hours as they want the catering company to get the business but when it's 7 hours and the food isn't that varied or great for those who are gluten free, it would have been nice to bring our own in. Otherwise totally brilliant. Would recommend.

Wow what an amazing experience.
From the moment we arrived at the airfield staff were friendly and efficient. We were promptly registered and weighed and directed to where facilities were.
Soon after registration we were called through to watch a safety briefing video and answer any questions we had.
Following that it was time to get ready! Myself and my friend were 1st to dive so were swiftly introduced to our diver and camera man. We were supported to get ready in our suit and safety harness before then practicing some of the positions required. Throughout this the staff were thorough and settled any nerves that I had by chatting.
Ben was the diver I was assigned he was chatty and friendly which put myself at ease.
Following getting kitted out we made our way outside where the camera man did a quick intro, had a chat and made our way to the air craft.
In the aircraft Ben continued to explain everything and kept chatting this prevented any nerves I anticipated having. Views were amazing. Staff were brilliant.
Time to jump!
WOW what can I say. It was an experience I will never forget, Ben and the camera man were brilliant I felt safe and looked after at all times. I loved every second of my dive.
Back on the ground we were supported back to the base and out of our gear, staff Continued to be friendly at all times. The camera man got to work straight away on the stills and video I had asked for.
Within 30 mins I was supplied with a link to download my video and 100 plus videos. Very happy with these.
Overall the day was amazing and I will certainly be returning to jump again. Thank you Ben and team for an excellent experience and a tick off the bucket list.
I'll see you all in the future
