I was scared as hell to go skydiving but my girlfriend wanted to do it! We thought Skydive Jurien Bay looked really good because of all the good reviews, and trust me .. IT IS! This was a purely amazing experience. We were going to do 8000 ft, but the lady at the office recommended 14000 ft and somehow we ended up doing it. I also highly recommend it, because times flies when you´re plummeting to earth! The skydivers themselves are real professional guys, but still funny and don't take themselves too seriously. You definitely feel like you can trust these guys. The view is also so great! I can't imagine a better place to do this. This was just so amazing, crazy and fun. And if I could do it, anyone can. Skydive Jurien Bay is HIGHLY recommended.

I jumped on Sunday 8th march with my boyfriend and a group of friends ! The whole experience was incredible !From the moment we started to get ready I was introduced to my jump master, Franky, who made me feel confortable and kept me talking so I could forget about my nerves ! All the masters know what they're doing and are super friendly and most importantly, make us feel so safe before we jumped. It took us about 20 minutes to reach 14.000 feet, the view of Jurien Bay from the top is unbelievable !The jump went very smoothly including the landing. The videos and photos were edited on the spot and we were able to collect it within an hour. Definitely worth the 150 $ more ! When landed I went to catch up with my friends and just sorry I didn't manage to thank Franky enough for making me feel safe and enjoy the jump ! I recommend this experience to everybody, no matter what age ! And you won't regret the perfect location !

its a lifetime experience. The most interesting thing is that, if you are first jumper, you don't know what are you gonna expect and that the fun part.

Skydiving at Juriien Bay was the most awesome experience. The staff were very professional, friendly and I quickly felt at ease during the entire experience. I would highly recommend jumping with this magnificent team.

Absolutely amazing. We were booked in for the Saturday morning, due to weather we were hanging about for most of the day until they called of the jumps. the manager was very friendly talking to us throughout the day. the girl on the front desk did a great job.They booked us in for the following morning at 6am, and thankfully we got to jump! the boys were brilliant and put all 5 of us at ease. They definitely made the jump so much fun. My instructor Irish was fantastic. There were 5 of us girls who did it for my 30th, now we are all eager to get back and do it again! Highly recommend paying the extra money to get the video and camera package, you will highly regret it if you don't!!Thanks so much guys!!

This was my first time falling from a plane and the whole experience was beyond awesome.We were scheduled to jump on the 21/02/15 but due to weather it was cancelled, so like any Aussie would do we headed for a counter lunch which lasted a few hours :)7am the next day we resurfaced and the jump went to plan. I was teamed up with Irish who instantly made me feel safe. I will certainly be back.

This entire experience was incredible! The people were great, friendly and helpful, definitely made you feel relaxed, handy when planning on jumping out of a plane! It was an incredible experience and the view was fantastic. Our initial time to jump was delayed but this because of weather so out of anyone's hands. All in all, I'd do it again and I go back to jurien to do it!

This was the second time I had skydived but the first time at Jurien Bay. And I can tell ya I won't be going to another place again. All the staff members were extremely friendly and helpful, particularly mine and my brothers instructors Chris and Hamish. The jump itself was first class. When you can get your heart out of your throat the scenery is fantastic. Give these guys a go, you won't regret it.

HI Samara, I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy your experience with us. But all of our booking information, including confirmation emails state that the time you are booked in for is your ARRIVAL TIME, and all going well and we have not experienced weather or other delays beyond our control, it is normal to jump within two hours of arriving at the office. We also ask that you allow a minimum of half a day for the jump, but if possible, allow a whole day in the event that we had to wait for weather conditions to be suitable. It does take some time to organise your paperwork and be briefed for a skydive. It is impossible for any skydiving operator to make a time that the aircraft will actually be pulling out from a departure gate as an airline does, and I have absolutely no doubt that no operator in Queenstown or anywhere else does this. It is for this reason that we only give customers ARRIVAL or checkin times. It is almost like complaining about having to wait between checking in for a commercial flight and the boarding and departure process. We are skydiving, and our paramount concern is the safety of all customers and staff, so I believe you have mistaken the fact that you were waiting due to disorganisation, when you were waiting because we were following our normal procedures to maximise safety. I can also let you know that you will not be going to a higher altitude in Queenstown or any dropzone located in the mountains, because they are not at sea level, and all skydiving operations are limited by how high they can go due to the diminishing oxygen in the air, so their altitude is always "Above Mean Sea Level", not above the elevation of the ground you actually stand on. We work extremely hard to provide our customers with a fulfilling and fun experience so I am very sorry that we have not met your expectations.
