Skydive Franz

This was a freaking vibe!! My tandem guy, Peter, was an absolute gem, making me feel completely at ease and safe with his easy communication and manner throughout. I can't recommend enough this team of awesome staff and the experience itself was mind-blowing.Shout out to the best reception staff we've come across on our whole journey down south, Tanya, who was just the absolute chillest and coolest person to be the face of this kind of adventure.So many thanks for the memories guys! If I could give more stars I would!!

Super friendly and professional team that made the experience a lifetime highlight.A spur of the moment decision to skydive with this team based on perfect weather conditions and the whole experience was smooth as. Felt very safe in the team's hands. Great bunch of people.My partner was able to come and sit with others who were'nt jumping and she was made to feel very welcome by the groundcrew whilst we were jumping.I cannot recommend them highly enogh! 20,000 stars!!

What a rush! From start to end this was an amazing experience, all the staff were fun and friendly and knowledgeable - especially Tanya! Definite highlight of my trip, I'd do it again & again! The jump itself was epic, but even if you've already experienced it elsewhere, I'd recommend coming here for the stunning views Franz Josef has to offer

After many delays due to weather/clouds, we were able to find a time to finally skydive. Everything about the experience was great! The staff was very experienced and professional. Over 80 seconds of freefall was exhilarating. The views of Franz glacier and the mountains while reaching altitude were also spectacular.

A MUST DO! Meant to write this review the same day as my 13,000 feet skydive with this amazing team! Wow. I am very much afraid of heights but the crew did a great job of briefing me multiple times and giving me a tour of the area as the plane climbed higher. New Zealand is one of the top skydive destinations in the world, and specifically at Franz Josef where you can see the Tasman Sea, glaciers, blue lakes, and mountain tops. 7 years later, I finally checked this off my bucket list. I paid extra for the combo footage and it was so worth it, and got the recording the same day! Big thank you to JT (you absolutely slayed at keeping me calm as I started to panic when I saw the door open), Jake, Riley and Emily for making my first skydive experience so fun and enjoyable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

From start to finish the staff were amazing! I jumped with Peter who helped make the jump unforgettable with all the scenery, camera work and simple instructions. Would highly recommend this to anyone with a hint of an interest.

Impromptu decision to do my first skydive here at Franz Josef and enjoyed every second of it. The crew was very welcoming and walks you through what you need to know. The views of the Franz glaciers and mountains were stunning as I did my jump during sunset.Did my jump with Nick and it was awesome! Throughout the whole experience he made it super chill and made me feel really safe with his communications and manner. He took some really great shots as well. Highly recommend to skydive here!

We did the 16,500ft to regret later we didn’t do the 20,000ft.The weather postponed our jump. It was only possible on our 3rd day morning before we had to depart. The team managed to schedule us in so we could just drive off soon as we landed. Thanks guys, it was awesome working with you guys. Honestly I think it must be tough even for the guys on the ground to face disappointed customers when weather doesn’t go as planned. Kudos!Peter, the man behind me (literally) throughout the experience. He is knowledgeable and gave details on the different glaciers as the plane makes its climb. Honestly I was too nervous to focus on that part. Peter made several attempts and checks to ensure the harnesses are well secured. Goes through with me on the do’s and don’t.The experience up there was awesome! Let me know if you guys are recruiting. I’ll do this day in, day out. Heck that! The ground crew was a great team to work with as well! Love the energy you guys got in you.Meanwhile, I’ll schedule and be back for the 20,000ft, hopefully in the coming year.

Incredible! The whole team walks you through what you need to know as you do it, they provide everything you need, and clearly are professionals so you know you’re in good hands. I went for the 20,000 jump for my first skydive and I’m so glad I did! If you’re nervous, my motto was to go all in for the big jump in case I never have the guts to do it again - totally worth it! And made me feel safe with the idea of skydiving again at some point. You just don’t get views like that any other way. Only thing that hurt a bit was readjusting my ears throughout the day since the pressure of the drop causes them to pop continuously on the way down - happy to say it’s the end of the day and it’s already done bothering me so, if you’re considering it, don’t hesitate!

Neither of us had ever jumped before so naturally I booked my wife and I the highest one — the Kea Jump from 20000 ft!It was an absolute blast from start to finish! If you’re on the fence, definitely worth splurging and going for it! The crew were so nice and yet so efficient. The whole experience was fantastic!
