A MUST DO! Meant to write this review the same day as my 13,000 feet skydive with this amazing team! Wow. I am very much afraid of heights but the crew did a great job of briefing me multiple times and giving me a tour of the area as the plane climbed higher. New Zealand is one of the top skydive destinations in the world, and specifically at Franz Josef where you can see the Tasman Sea, glaciers, blue lakes, and mountain tops. 7 years later, I finally checked this off my bucket list. I paid extra for the combo footage and it was so worth it, and got the recording the same day! Big thank you to JT (you absolutely slayed at keeping me calm as I started to panic when I saw the door open), Jake, Riley and Emily for making my first skydive experience so fun and enjoyable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! – via

Super friendly and professional team that made the experience a lifetime highlight.
A spur of the moment decision to skydive with this team based on perfect weather conditions and the whole experience was smooth as. Felt very safe in the team’s hands. Great bunch of people.
My partner was able to come and sit with others who were’nt jumping and she was made to feel very welcome by the groundcrew whilst we were jumping.
I cannot recommend them highly enogh! 20,000 stars!! – via

One of the experiences of my life! A fantastic crew of friendly professionals who lead you through your tandem dive from start to finish. Their airport hanger hub is relaxing (play table football to keep your mind calm) with tea and coffee while you wait for your turn. The equipment is first rate and the team know their stuff. The female skydiver who I trusted my life to had 1000 previous jumps! The team use a Pilatus Porter aircraft which is still the best for the job 42 years after I first jumped out of one on a static line jump in Bedfordshire, England. The views of Mount Cook as you go up or down are THE best backdrop you will find to a skydive experience. – via
