Reaching speeds of up to 200km per hour, experiencing the thrill of free fall is something you’ll never forget. We fly up to 18,000ft above sea level!
After an insane freefall experience, you’ll then float under canopy before landing back at the dropzone, or one of our alternative landing areas.
You’ll be buzzing long after your feet touch the ground.
Throughout your unforgettable experience, you will be harnessed to someone who has done this literally thousands of times before.
Our tandem masters have over twenty thousand jumps and twenty years of experience between them and are trained to the highest level.

We’re also Qualmark endorsed so you can trust in our entire operation from the airplane right down to the goggles!
Our friendly ground staff will look after you before and after your jump, they will get you geared up and ready to go for your skydive, and they’ll be there to help you take it all in when your feet finally touch down again.

Well organised and I felt totally safe to do a tandem sky dive. My only complaint would be that due to numbers, I was on the fourth flight up,... read more so lots of hanging around. But it wa

North Island skydiving experience - Bay of Islands. - The weather was perfect, the whole process was handled very efficiently, my tandem coach was fantastic - he made me feel very comfortable the whole time and he explained everything... read more in great detail. his name was Maurice Healy. and he has completed over 9000 jumps so he was really experienced.
I would recommend this experience to anyone who is on or travelling the North Island.

I did a skydive here on 02nd January 2022. The skydive itself was exhilarating. A lifelong dream and the first one I'd ever done. Everything went well until we came... read more in to land. We seemed to be coming in faster than we should but as a complete novice, I had no point of reference.
We hit the ground very hard, landing directly on my backside. The pain was excruciating. The instructor, Maurice, said he tried to take the impact on his feet, but couldn't (I am significantly taller and heavier than him (I'm a 30's male - 185cm, 95kg)
I could barely stand up, but I was ushered away and told that this sort of thing happens now and again. Just put a bit of deep heat on it and I'll be fine in a couple of days!
I was in agony, so I went to a physio a couple of days later and got referred for an x-ray. I had a compression fracture (T11) in my spine and a broken tailbone. It heavily impacted my quality of life. I've gone through physiotherapy and have improved significantly, but I'm still in intermittent discomfort nearly 10 months later.
There was no record made of the accident and it was all brushed off. I returned to the site the next day to understand what went wrong. Maurice wasn't available so I spoke to one of his colleagues. I was told it was probably turbulence. It's unlucky and rare, but it happens. It didn't appear to be taken seriously.
I realise there are inherent risks with jumping out of an aeroplane, but I'm not happy with how it was dealt with.

After a few failed attempts to get to Taupo (lockdowns) to skydive with friends, and after the death of one of my groups mother, we decided while we were all... read more together in Whangarei we’d jump with Skydive Bay of Islands instead. SOOOOO glad we did. The team were all super friendly, super professional, and my tandem master Prashant was freaking amazing. Charming, fun and able to just put you at ease. The 20,000 ft jump was absolutely exhilarating and wanted to go straight back up and do it again. Think I might be hooked

Cannot wait to do it again, easily the highlight of my summer, and the most fun I have had strapped to a man; I'd recommend it. Felt very safe in... read more the professional hands of Skydive BoI, who were helpful and reassuring the whole time.
