We didn't do it because the first day, the weather was not great and the second day, we bailed out after my wife was not well. But still 5 stars for the lovely organisation and it was great to be back here after 9 years and learn that Chris, my tandem master 9 years back has now become the COO. Good Luck Chris and team - just one feedback, bring back the custom of giving a free t-shirt to whoever does the Kea Jump - we got it when we did the 18k which was the highest in 2014.....was sad to learn that it's not the case anymore for those who do the 20k jump these days !!

A big thank you to Peter and JT! They were our instructors for the 20,000 ft sky dive and helped make the whole experience incredible. JT was extremely calming, and helped put my partner at ease as she was quite excited on the ground before leaving. She keeps telling me she was excited to be strapped to such a handsome man, and can't stop talking about JT - the effect on our relationship was worth the jump from 20,000 feet, but all joking aside, I very much appreciated how calm out instructors were. The jump from 20,000 feet is incredible. You get to see your plane-mates jump out well before you.. We were the only two jumpers left on the plane by the time is was our turn. Incredibly sensational. The 20K jump gives plenty of fall time before the chute is pulled! The views of the glacier are once-in-a-lifetime especially if the chute doesn't open. We got the handicam video/photos and they came out amazing. My partner's video was hilarious, because she's such an emotive person. Totally worth the extra. One thing my partner and I both felt was that our hat might get pulled off. And if you're reading this JT, we would have paid extra to wear a helmet like our instructors, to make it easier to breath on the way down! Be aware that the weather is unpredictable. The previous day's jumps had to be cancelled due to cloud coverage, but we had fantastic sunny weather for our morning jump! We lucked out.

People were great, very friendly and willing to answer any questions. They made you feel safe and secured properly to the 4 points on harness. The veins were amazing and the adventure was epic

From booking through to the landing all of the staff that I interacted with were amazing. The jump itself was a fantastic experience. For my first skydive, I couldn't have picked a better location. Glaciers, rainforest, beach; what more could you ask for

Can’t begin to describe how amazing this whole experience is! The staff and jump itself are both hands down absolutely amazing. Will give you a rush like no other. Surrounded by amazing scenery, it feels like you are jumping into a painting! The crew are amazing, so professional but great sense of humor and comforting to those who are nervous. Cannot recommend this enough. Will 110% be doing this again at some stage. If you’re not sold on this, trust me, it will be one of the most thrill seeking adrenaline pumping things you do in this breathtaking spot of NZ!!
