Taupo, New Zealand 
SKYDIVE ONLY
HANDYCAM PACKAGE
"We love Skydive Taupo because on your scenic flight you will get a bird's eye view of Mount Ngauruhoe (aka Mount Doom from the ‘Lord of the Rings’ films) - how cool is that?"
Get ready for an adrenaline rush like no other! Skydiving is one of life's ultimate thrills and with Skydive Taupo you will be able to free fall over New Zealand's largest lake from 15,000 ft! After 5,000 ft your brain has no perception of depth, so jumping out of a plane feels completely surreal! During your 60 seconds of free fall, you will feel like you are floating on a big cushion of air. It really is a once in a lifetime experience.
What to wear?
Skydive Taupo provides all the equipment necessary. Make sure you wear comfortable clothing that is appropriate for the weather. You must also wear comfortable shoes that can be secured, such as trainers/sneakers. High heels, jandals and flip-flops are not suitable footwear and cannot be worn.
Opening hours
We are open 7 days a week and we skydive from sunrise to sunset, weather permitting. We are closed 25th December, 26th December, January 1st. Our phones are manned from 7 am until 9 pm.
You need to allow 2 ½ to 3 hours from the time you arrive at the dropzone to complete your skydive. The time we give you is your booking time and not the time you will be boarding the plane. We always aim to have customers on the plane as soon as possible, however sometimes we are delayed by factors out of control such as weather changes, restrictions with other aircraft in the area etc.
If the weather is bad when you phone to confirm your jump we will re-schedule you for another time later that day or the next day depending on your schedule. We will give you a choice of times that we have available and you can let us know which one suits you.
Due to strict regulations, customers are not permitted to take any objects with them including cameras. This is for the safety of customers, instructors and the general public.
Our views are spectacular, we don’t want you to miss them! Glasses and contact lenses can be worn and we will provide goggles.
Absolutely. The beauty about our dropzone is that it all happens at the same place and so your friends and family will be able to see you board the aircraft and will then be able to watch you land. If you’re using one of our free pick up options, we will try our best to fit your spectators in. However, spaces are limited so we can’t guarantee them a lift.
During the registration process, you will be briefed on a number of points including landing. Our highly skilled instructors are trained to bring you back to earth as softly as possible. While we can give you a thrilling ride under your parachute, when it is time for landing, you follow some simple instructions to help aid a soft landing in front of your friends and family.
If you are unsure if an existing medical condition or injury will affect your skydive, please consult with your doctor for advice. We are unable to advise on medical issues.
Tandem skydiving is an adrenaline activity and it is normal to feel a little scared, but skydiving is an amazing experience like no other. Our highly experienced instructors will talk you through everything and make you feel completely calm.
