AI summary of 66 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the instructors and ground staff for their friendliness, professionalism and ability to manage nervousness, with many noting they felt safe and comfortable throughout the experience despite initial anxiety about heights or jumping from a plane. The views over the Gold Coast, the adrenaline rush of freefall and the overall quality of the experience stand out most frequently across the reviews, with many describing it as among the best experiences of their lives. The most common caveat is the expense of the photo and video packages, though several travellers note that despite the cost, the media packages are worth purchasing to capture the jump.
How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
I expected to be shaking, but I was surprisingly calm, and the only truly scary moment was a few seconds sitting at the open door. After that it all flashed by. My instructor told me to smile whenever his camera pointed at me, which is why I'm grinning in every photo.
Skydiving with James was thrilling and so much fun. He made me feel safe and comfortable, everything ran smoothly, and I'll be back with my wife next time we visit the Gold Coast.
My partner and I had an amazing time on our skydive. The instructors make you feel safe and take the nerves away.
A great experience. I felt comfortable and safe the whole way through and had a lot of fun.
Germain made my first-ever jump feel completely safe. He checked the equipment several times, joked to calm my nerves and kept checking how I was going. I loved it far more than I expected, and thanks to James for the outside video footage.
Great from start to finish: friendly, funny and professional. Thrill seekers will have a blast.
