A fantastic experience! - This was myself and my partners first time skydiving and it was incredible. Our tandem instructors Charles and Reece made us both feel very safe and relaxed. The chilled out nature of the instructors made for a relaxed environment on the plane as we climbed to 15,000 feet. The team really are true professionals and brilliant at what they do. The videos that Charles and Reece captured of both our jumps are of such high quality and the pictures are fantastic. We were picked up at 0700 and by 0820 we were back on the ground, a very smooth morning!

Awesome! - The shuttle service was on time and the pickup spots were easy to navigate. Pickuo was right by Nomads hostel. The staff and divers were a lot of fun. They were so chill and knowledgeable so I felt very safe skydiving for my first time. They give you a nice tour of the islands in the plane before hand and then the views as you fall down to the ground are absolutely breathtaking. If the weather allows you can land on the beach, we landed at the airports again because of the winds, but it made for easy transport. Chloe was great with communicating pickups and jump time changes day of as well.

Do it!! - Absolutely unreal awesome! Can’t even find the words to describe the experience! It was too windy to land on the beach so landed inland. Still breathtaking views. Amazing instructors and hospitality. It’s a must!

Great experience - The tandem jump with Skydive Australia at Airlie Beach was my first. Jump at all, and it was really an intoxicating experience. The instructors are Australia-typical relaxed and easygoing and do it with the necessary serenity. That Parachuting is not an inexpensive pleasure, of course. That's why I was a little annoyed by the Salamit tactics, which are gradually increasing costs. After booking the jump and immediate payment, I had to give my weight later on when checking in, whereupon I was charged another over 50 dollars extra. This could really have been mentioned directly when booking the jump, especially since booking and jumping were done the same day. Within the three hours I could not have gained much mass. You could have mentioned this sleepover directly. What I didn’t understand either, but what seems to be completely normal, is that although the instructor wears a helmet, the customer doesn’t. Otherwise, that was a great thing. Thanks to Instructor Greg who did a great job.

instructor who doesn't care about your experience - I did my skydiving and it wasnt great because of my instructor. His name is Grant i think, he is the most experienced we told me. But maybe because of that he forget that he need to be careful if i get the best expérience possible. Why ? Because we went out of the plane fifth and we were the first arrive by far. In fact, when the parachute opened he didn’t let me enjoy the view or anything ( and the main reason i took the jump in this place was for the beautiful view) We just came straight down doing fast circle that made me sick ( impossible to take a second to look around it was turning to fast). In conclusion i still recommend it because it is a feeling to try once in your life, but hope for you that you will be luckyer than me on the instructor and his mood.
