Impressive!!! - Perfect. It was our first jump and the help on-line as well as a situation was amazing. Both during preparation and during the ascent, the jump and landing was perfect. Each of our monitors on the jump gave us professionalism and security.. FULLY RECOMMENDED.

I would do it again! - ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! The employees were so friendly and helpful! Everything about the experience felt safe and smooth! The 12,000ft dive was the perfect sweet spot of time in free fall! Highly recommend:)

Once in a lifetime experience if you never tried skydive before, and definitely one of the best skydive locations! - Skydive Wanaka made our first skydive experience as beautiful and it could be, the weather, the excitement, the nervous before jumping off the airplane, motivating but relaxing talking along the way with our tandem masters, the stunning view from above 15000ft, all made this experience one of the most memorable and beautiful ones. Definitely a recommended one!

Straped to Strangers... - 54 years I've been on this rock we call home. It took until today to realise what it is to be alive. To be given the gift of life is the ultimate privilege. The next best privilege is to leap out of an aeroplane with these superb professionals. From the second you arrive, you are put at ease, made to feel like you've been mates forever. What an incredible experience. I jumped with Barna, loved it so much, booked back on and jumped with Anthony. Absolute professionals, absolutely cannot put into words how utterly unforgettable it was. Thank you to you all that we're there today, from the girls on the welcome desk, through to the pilots, bus drivers, everyone! You are amazing. Thank you so much. Brian.

A beautifully smooth experience 🪂 - This was a long term desire for me to Skydive again. It had been thirty years since jump in the military and had been thinking about it ever since. SKYDIVE WANAKA made the experience enjoyable and streamlined, and the professional skydivers on the day were fun, engaging and very reassuring through the whole time, right down to the smooth landing. Loved the experience, l will skydive again. Thank You 😊

super professionals in a magic environment - I jumped with my 12y old daughter and my 9y old son. I did not know that kids were allowed to jump. we had an outstanding family bounding experience. The staff and the beautiful strangers were marvellous and the organisation flawless. I had jumped in France a while ago and it was a very poor experience compared to this Wanaka experience. Needless to say the views and landscapes are magnificent there. And the option with videos and photos great to share!

Will dive again in Wanaka!! - My husband and I skydived on my 50th birthday. It was the most amazing experience. The staff is very kind and sweet. The ground staff buckles you and then your guide ( they call beautiful stranger) greets you and checks all the buckles again. He will talk and make you feel comfortable and that’s it … sit in the plane , he buckles himself to you and from the selected height one by one you take the leap😊 The fact that these divers dive every hour itself made me feel comfortable. It was the most exhilarating and thrilling experience. I did not feel scared at all even while jumping from the plane. The landing was also very smooth , of course you follow the instructions. Must try for everyone.
