The absolute thrill! - My initial trip was cancelled due to weather. Fortunately, I managed to find time for me to postpone and squeeze into my itinerary. And I am glad that I did it. It was the most exciting thing I had ever done. The crew were friendly and able to calm me (who have a phobia of heights). Whole event was quite fast but it was something that i will remember for the rest of my life. I am glad I went ahead, despite my phobia of heights. Earned some bragging rights for doing this.

Must try activity! - This was my first time doing a tandem sky dive and I am so glad I did it with this company. I came to the sky dive with my husband (who is a thrill seeker and has done ski diving before). The company arranged for a shuttle bus to take us from our hotel to the sky dive centre. Then we were able to watch an introductory video. We then met our sky dive experts. My Sky dive expert was Josh and he made me feel completely at ease. Josh talked me through the safety steps to take and kept me at ease. We got into the shuttle bus to the air strip and before I knew it, I was jumping out the plane. The company follows safety guidance strictly without spoiling the thrill and excitement of the activity. Josh captured a video of our whole interaction from the dive centre right until we landed. I highly recommend using this company for doing your sky dives!!!

Surreal experience - Sam was amazing! He made sure I was calm throughout and the entire trip from take off to the jump to the landing was perfect! I felt very safe and was not afraid at all! Highly recommend! A small note the operator might change the timing of the jump so you need to keep that in mind while booking!

Everyone can skydive - Most amazing "tour" ever - handled by Skydive Australia c",) The crew in Cairns is utmost professional, you feel safe at all times, and the experience is simply mind blowing. I thought this would be a once-in-a-lifetime for me... but is now searching for options on how to skydive again - first tandem again, but later solo... If you are considering - then DO IT!!!

Do it!! - What a great experience! We were both quite nervous as this was our first ever sky dive but Trip and Ben both put our minds at ease! They were both hilarious and we felt very safe with them! The whole experience was well organised & we are so glad we did it! Photos and videos are a must!

UK review - Absolutely amazing experience with an amazing company. From the moment you set foot in the main office to the big skydive itself the staff put you at ease. The skydivers were absolutely brilliant. You have to try this it is amazing and a feeling you can't get from anything else. Make sure you buy the video and picture package well worth the money.

So amazing!!! - What an AMAZING experience!! The staff were so friendly and made everyone feel comfortable. This was such a quick adventure there really wasn’t time to get nervous. They kept us engaged and moving. Everything from start to finish was an unreal experience. The staff do this so many times per day but they made sure your trip felt special and encouraged/congratulated you every step of the way. I can’t recommend it enough!!! Definitely purchase the video/photos. The staff document everything and make sure you have great footage to remember your trip.
