Programme
- Meeting and preparation:
We can arrange a transfer for you from Taupo with our limo around 15 minutes before the activity. If you do not need the pick-up you can come to our office at the airport 5 minutes before the booked time. Once arrived at the Taupo airport, we will introduce you to your tandem master and our crew, who will explain what you are going to experience, get you ready with the needed equipment and give you a safety briefing. Once ready, let's board on our unique pink plane and start your Skydive Taupo adventure!
- Flight and jump:
You are first going to enjoy a 20-minute scenic plane ride. From 12,000ft you will be able to see the beautiful Tongariro National Park and, of course, the Great Lake Taupo. Once you reach the right altitude, the plane doors will open and you jump with your skydive master attached to you. During the freefall, you are going to reach speeds up to 200km/h and experience a unique fall of 45 seconds. At 5,000ft, the tandem master will then open the parachute and you will even have the chance to steer it yourself!
- Landing and return:
After a 5 minute ride, you will lift your legs allowing the tandem master to land gently on the airfield at Taupo Airport. At the end of the skydive Taupo experience, we will, of course, drive you back to Taupo.
