Itinerary

Tandem skydiving is an incredible experience, and at TTS, we are passionate about making your skydive a memory to remember. On arrival, you will go through the safety briefing and our available camera options, then get kitted up with all the equipment you need for a safe experience. Meet your experienced tandem master, and the adventure begins! First you'll enjoy a scenic plane ride up to 12,000ft, 15,000ft or 16,500ft (depending on the altitude option you choose). You’ll see 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 freefall at speeds of 200 kph! 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. 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. You did it!

Highly recommend!

Published on Feb, 2025

The team was professional, friendly, and made me feel completely safe from start to finish. The views over Lake Taupo were breathtaking, and the adrenaline rush was next level! If you're thinking about skydiving in New Zealand, this is the place to do it. Highly recommend!

Fabulous!

What an amazing experience!! The team at Taupo Tandem Skydiving were great. My instructor/jump master, Gareth Hemingway was fantastic - and deserves 100/100 for his professionalism, patience and guidance! I was rather nervous but he put me at ease, explained everything clearly and enabled me to really enjoy the whole thing. He also took lots of great photos. Thanks Gareth and team.

Awsome

Nice view, sexy outfit, bit cold up there. 10/10 would jump again. Thanks G Hemingway for making my first time unforgetable. Best lad to have behind you when trying this new experience. Banana or die!

An Unforgettable First Jump

Big thanks to Riley McCarthy for making my first skydiving experience absolutely unforgettable. You’re not just a great instructor but also an all-around awesome guy. You made everything so easy and stress-free, from helping me gear up to making sure I felt comfortable the whole time. Appreciate you, brother—this was a once-in-a-lifetime moment, and you made it even better!
