First time sky dive for me. 15000 ft! didn't have a clue what to expect! It started by being picked up from my hotel in a limo driven by a very attractive young lady and that set the tone for a whole morning of fun! I was teamed up with Sam who did a great job of making me feel at ease and was great company. I just listened to his guidance and let him get on with it and had a totally awesome experience! the jump was epic! I didn't have time to worry about the jump itself, Sam just did his thing and then you're flying through the air feeling the most amazing rush ever! after the jump I got a dvd of the the jump which was really well put together, I even got to choose the background music! Oh and my Sky Dive Taupo Hoodie is one of my favourite items of clothing, (you get a free tee-shirt included in the price of the jump, or you can get a hoodie instead at a discount price) its almost constant in all my photos for the rest of my trip in NZ. Cheers guys, I had a blast!
Hi nathan, many thanks for your review, I will be sure to pass on your regards to Lucy - our limo driver! Glad to hear that Sam made you feel at ease, as he's good at his job hey! Freefall does feel like flying - thats what we always tell people as you dont realise you are actually falling at 200 kmph. Really pleased you enjoyed your DVD we do think we have an awesome product and unique to Taupo being able to choose your own music. You should send us a pic of you wearing your hoodie and post it on our facebook page! Enjoy the rest of your travels!
The Skydive Taupo Crew!

We did the 15,000 feet (including video/photos/t-shirt) and it is worth every cent of it.

Hey Robin, it sure is worth it! Nothing beats the feeling of freefall for over 1 minute!! It is a great package and cheaper than elsewhere in NZ which is an added bonus! Spread the word for us!

Hey Tess !
Yet again Wadey gets a mention - he is pretty good at what he does - as are all our boys !
Choosing the music does make a difference to the DVD too eh ?
Hopefully we`ll see you again soon !
Enjoy the rest of your travels Lady !!!

Love the DVD - got the whole experience from start to finish and there are great shots of the view over lake Taupo. Being able to choose own soundtrack is a good bonus.
Would definitely do it again!
Dude !
Quite possibly the best name I`ve seen on here !
Thanks for the kudos and we would love to see you back here again - remember those stickers mate - ya never know we may be flying you back here totally free !!!!
Thanks again

Cheapest skydive I have come across, very enthusiatic instructor who made the experience even better. Also the best DVD I have seen, after watching examples from Queenstown and Wanaka. Choose your own soundtrack and I like the way they interview before, during and after.
Hey Claire ,
Many thanks for sitting down and writing a review for us !
It is important to us to see how others perceive the dropzone as we can learn from all we receive here on Rankers !
All our guys here are pretty enthusiastic as you noticed - a must in this career - however getting to jump from the plane however many times a day does help to keep the enthusiasm levels waaaay up there ;-)
Thanks for the input !

Excellent staff and great packages with DVDs. Only complaint is that we had to wait an hour to go home. Limosine pick up made up for this!
Aw Nick ,
So sorry the experience was marred by the wait to go home - the whole experience normally takes 2-3 hours and this should include waiting times too , unfortunately some things are beyond our control , apologies for this !
I do hope you guys got plenty of stickers for the photo comp , and enter so we may get the chance to fly you back and throw you out of "Pinky" again !!!
Cheers

They convinced us to do the 15000ft free fall - Awesome!!
They convinced us to do the 15000ft free fall - Awesome!!
Hey Guys ,
Its a hard one to decide eh - just remember that freefall you had and imagine it lasting half as long !! Indeed everyone that comes down from 12,000 ft wishes they`d gone to 15 , but no-one EVER comes down from 15 and says " I wish I`d gone to 12,000ft " !!!
Hope your trip is going well and you`ve kept the adrenalin levels up !!!
Cheers

Awesome skydive and DVD, good value for money!! Unfortunately they were rushing us through the whole thing which is good for people being scared but makes it feel less special but maybe it is just because all the 'strays' arriving at the same time.
Hey Steff ,
Thanks for taking the time to write the review, it is important that we get feedback in order to
continue to keep doing what we do here !
Unfortunately - I see on the day you and the Group arrived , we were running out of daylight and so do try to get you all in the air before the sun sets as we can not take off after a certain time so would prefer you all get to jump before it does, as disappointment can not be avoided if this was to happen !
I hope the rest of the trip went well and that you had a great time with Stray - I`m sure you did - fantastic Tour Operator that they are !!
Regards
Stacy , Jen and The Crew @ Skydive Taupo !

I have really enjoyed this breath taking experience jumping off from 15000 ft .Itz value for money and the only company in the town who provides limo service from the door to door..pretty royal lool.
