10/10 recommend doing this while you’re in Cairns! Liv and the rest of the group at Skydive Cairns put me at ease from the moment I arrived, and I had a great experience! Can’t beat the views from the air too!

harsh – India

value for money if doing for first time. View is not that great compare to dubai palm view or swiss two lake view. all grass land view.. my jumper was too good and friendly ( guy from newzeland). I was no. 2 jumper. Avoid bald guy who wears monkey style cap. he is no. 1 jumper from plane most times. he is very rough and does stunts with first timers and also caused accident while landing. I was no. 2 so was able to see everything. this is the cheapest skydive and value for money so go for it. every jump is different. Advice to skydive - parachute flytime is very less. it should be minimum 15 mins.
