Being a Qualmark endorsed activity, your safety is paramount. Get primed for a radical experience with TTS, over 200,000 jumps since 1992!

The beauty of tandem skydiving is that you don’t have to do a thing. Your experienced tandem master will walk you through every step of the way. We provide harnesses, safety goggles and jumpsuits, and even give you a free buff to wear during the jump, which is yours to take away. On arrival you will fill out a waiver form, then our friendly ground crew will run you through all of the available options. Once you have decided on your camera and altitude options it’s time to get geared up and meet your tandem master!

After a short safety briefing, you will board the plane, for a 15-minute scenic flight to altitude. Once at 12,000 ft the door will open and it’s time to jump! After exiting the plane you will freefall at speeds of 200kph for 60 seconds. At 5,000 ft your tandem master will deploy the parachute and you can catch your breath while taking in the stunning views of the Lake Taupo area. Once back on the ground it’s time for a high five - you did it!!

Unvergessliches Erlebnis, danke an das Team

Ich habe schon als Kind vom Fallschirmspringen in Neuseeland geträumt. Jetzt kann ich sagen "Yes, I did it". Es war absolut unglaublich. Ian Tomkinson, der beste Tandemmaster den man sich wünschen kann, war absolut cool und professionell. Ich habe mich bei ihm super gut aufgehoben gefühlt. Thanks a lot for this amazing experience. Auch großen Dank an das super Team, insbesondere an Silvia für ihre Insidertipps rund um Lake Taupo. Wenn ich mal wieder springen sollte, dann bei euch :-)

Different Experience

Thank you so much for an unforgettable experience! Your professional team made my first skydive memorable and thrilling. I truly appreciate the expertise and support provided throughout the experience. However, I wanted to share some feedback based on my experience during the jump. At the moment of jumping, I experienced a significant amount of pressure in my ears, leading to continuous pain during the flight. Thank you again for the thrilling experience and the opportunity to share this feedback.
