Absolutely fantastic experience. All the staff and Skydive Masters were great. Laksi and Ian, my Dive Master and my daughter's were lovely: Good fun, entertaining and supportive. The views over Lake Taupo and the horizon are stunning. Love every minute of it and will 100% be skydiving again in the future. Highly recommended!!

Highlights

  • Experience a 45, 60 or 70 second free fall above stunning Lake Taupo
  • See incredible views of Lake Taupo, Mount Ruapehu and Mount Ngauruhoe
  • Enjoy complimentary transport in a bright yellow stretch Hummer

Full description

Start your day in style with a complimentary pick-up from your accommodation in a stretch Hummer. Head to the drop zone, a 10 minute drive from the town center. On arrival, let the experienced and friendly team look after you. Go through the safety briefing and the available video/photo options. Be kitted up with all the equipment you need for a safe experience. You even get a free buff headband to wear during the jump and have as a keepsake. 

Your skydive begins with a scenic plane ride up to 12,000ft, 15,000ft or 16,500ft (depending on the option you choose). You’ll begin to get incredible views of Lake Taupo, Mount Ruapehu and Mount Ngauruhoe – also known as Mount Doom from Lord of the Rings.

Once you’ve reached altitude, the doors will open, you’ll sit on the edge of the plane with your tandem master seated behind you. After exiting the plane you will free fall at speeds of 200 kilometres per-hour for 45, 60 or 70 seconds. At 5,500 feet your tandem master will deploy the parachute and you can catch your breath while taking in the stunning views of the Lake Taupo area.

You will then float back to earth with a relaxing parachute ride with your tandem master, arriving safe and soundly back at the drop zone. Once back on the ground it’s time for a high five and a hug. Check out how nervous you look in your exclusive Jump Photo before being dropped back to Taupo.
