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.

You HAVE to do this!! - The most amazing thing I have ever done! I was so so so nervous but all the instructors were so friendly and chilled it really made me feel in safe hands. I jumped with Amy she was so professional but also hyped me up for it and made sure I felt comfortable with “being the banana” I felt so safe and she really helped encouraging me to steady my nerves on the flight up. It was the most amazing experience ever, worth every single penny!!! Do it

Skydive Airlie Beach - My daughters and I had the most amazing experience skydiving with Skydive Airlie Beach on Sunday, 12th January 2025. From start to finish, everything was flawless. Our coaches, Greg and Thiago, were absolutely fantastic—kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. They made us feel so at ease, calming our nerves and ensuring we had the best experience possible. A huge thank you as well to Loretta, our pick-up and drop-off driver, for being so friendly and efficient.
The entire team made this once-in-a-lifetime experience unforgettable. The views over Airlie Beach were breathtaking, and the adrenaline rush was indescribable. Highly recommend Skydive Airlie Beach to anyone considering taking the plunge—an absolute must-do!

Experienced and professional Instructors - My Tandem was Zac. He was really so helpful to me. As someone who had never sky dived before I found it especially of value to have someone experienced who can talk through the instructions with ease and care. I knew what to expect and the positions to place my body in before jumping from the plane, when free falling through the sky, and how to land properly.
Sky diving is a very fun experience and a great way to test your nerves and put oneself to the test. It is so enjoyable to go through the motions while gaining altitude in the plane, all before jumping 15,000 ft.
I got to see magnificent aerial views over the Whitehaven beach, coral reef and of the rainforest area.
It's a great thing to do when on holidays and I highly recommend booking with Sky Dive Australia at Airlie beach.
