Fabulous! - What an amazing experience!! The team at Taupo Tandem Skydiving were great. My instructor/jump master, Gareth Hemingway was fantastic - and deserves 100/100 for his professionalism, patience and guidance! I was rather nervous but he put me at ease, explained everything clearly and enabled me to really enjoy the whole thing. He also took lots of great photos. Thanks Gareth and team.

An Unforgettable First Jump - Big thanks to Riley McCarthy for making my first skydiving experience absolutely unforgettable. You’re not just a great instructor but also an all-around awesome guy. You made everything so easy and stress-free, from helping me gear up to making sure I felt comfortable the whole time. Appreciate you, brother—this was a once-in-a-lifetime moment, and you made it even better!

Highlight of the holiday - Did a jump 25 years ago and said I’d never do another.. and here I was doing one more with my teenage kids. Amazing experience. “Damo” my instructor was brilliant. Pure adrenlin rush and Damo kept talking me through each stage even as we jumped to calm my nerves. Top fella and highly recommend Taupo tandem

Awesome instructor - Awesome fun with amazing instructor. Jumped from 15,000 feet to get a little more free fall. Highly recommend it even for people like me who are not quite sure about jumping.

Fantastic - I have wanted to go skydiving for ages and it was worth the wait! My tandem master Andrew was absolutely lovely, he cracked jokes and made me feel safe the entire time. Would definitely go again

Love skydiving, - My tandem was Travis Funell, and I really enjoyed the experience. It was great since it was my second time he let me steer and provided an all around fun experience. Thanks and I hope you win the competition.

Interesting to say the least - It was an interesting experience to say the least. It felt as if the staff were unorganised and my instructor was rude and ran off half way through putting my harness on to take a telephone call, when he returned there was on apology either. Your instructor makes the experience it seems and as a first time skydiver it was unnerving to have one that didn’t really want to talk to me and would disappear halfway through important parts. I also over heard him say “I’ll take her” in what sounded like a disgruntled tone which again left me unsettled. The tone was set from the ground and to be honest I don’t really remember the views being anything of note because I didn’t really know what was going on since nothing was really explained so I was quite scared. All in all a bad experience. I was asked while we were in the plane if I’d ever dislocated my shoulder this felt like something that should have been discussed on the ground. Clearly my form wasn’t discussed with my instructor prior to the jump where I’d disclosed a different shoulder injury. They didn’t have a suit that would fit me so I had to wear my own clothes which meant the landing was uncomfortable because there was no padding. It also meant my top flapped against my neck leaving me with a rash. Once we’d landed I was told to wait on a bench and someone would come and get me however no one came. After getting home I saw I’d received the footage but my phone couldn’t download for some reason just saying it was incompatible. A lot of the issues are down to their customer communication and how they treat their customers and can defiantly be worked on and rectified easily. From a safety aspect it was great (apart from the suit!).
