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!

Unreal experience - I had the most incredible experience from start to end. My tandem, Benjamin, was amazing! He clearly spoke me through the process, allowing me to fully enjoy and embrace the jump. I felt so safe and had the most fun ever!!! Can’t recommend enough!

A real must do, amazing views - My wife and had an amazing experience today doing early morning tandem jumps.
I am afraid of heights but my instructor Mac was patient and explained everything to me in great detail and answered any questions I had, making me less nervous. Greg was my wife’s instructor and made her feel completely at ease and the banter between Mac and Greg relieved the tension.
Once up the views were amazing and in honesty it was actually less scary than I had thought, the first few seconds of getting ready to jump and then leaving the plane were the worst and after that it was exhilarating and great fun.
As someone scared of heights I can highly recommend doing the jump with Airlie beach skydiving.

Unreal experience with Ben! - Amazing experience from start to finish. Everyone was super friendly, I jumped with Ben and he was brilliant.
There was a bit of a delay in receiving my video / photos however, it was worth the wait - Ben captured amazing footage and helped with my request for a birthday message to my sister.

Unique Experience - A very good experience. Very professional and good instructors.
We just had a problem my daughter with the photos and really the response was pretty rude of the person that the attention would have to put someone trained for customer service.

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.
