How do I book a tandem skydive on-line and what does it cost?
All you have to do is click on prices to check it out and then make a reservation.

What is your age limit for a tandem skydive ?
There is no upper age limit. We have had people as old as 90 years skydive with us. If you are under 18 years old, you will need your parents consent, and you must fit our safety harness which we will check on the day. Kids as young as 8 years have skydived with us.

Why don't you require a deposit?
It is our company policy not to ask for a deposit when you make a booking. We rely on you as our customer to advise us on any changes or cancellations at least 2 hours in advance to enable other customers to skydive in your place. Please let us know what you think so we can continue to offer our great service at the current prices. We'd like to thank all our past customers for helping us and our company.

I want to give a friend a special present!
We have gift vouchers for all occasions. Choose which skydive you would like to gift to a friend under our prices section and send us a booking request from the Reservations section. Please select Gift Voucher as the type of skydive.

What type of payment do you accept?
We accept NZ currency cash, Visa, Mastercard & Amex, as well as Eftpos and NZ only traveller cheques. We ask you have suitable identification for your travellers cheques.

How many people fit into your plane?
We are using two types of planes, often at the same time. The Nomad carries up to 8 tandems (18 slots). The Cresco XL carries up to 5 tandems and 5 Freefall videos, as well as solo jumpers (16 slots). Great fun if you are with a group of friends.

Where are you situated?
Taupo Tandem Skydiving is situated at the Taupo Airport, approximately 6km south of Taupo. Check out our map section. We operate courtesy coaches in and around Taupo township so we can pick you up from almost anywhere. See Map

Do you have a weight limit?
For safety reasons we have a strict weight limit of 100kg for tandem passengers for your own and our staffs safety. We will weigh people to determine the total load of the plane. This is done with as much courtesy as possible, but it is an absolutely important safety factor for us. We ask for your understanding and we appreciate your help. However, you are free to register on our Learn To Skydive course with up to 97kg. Check out our Learn To Skydive section.

When and under which conditions will you skydive?
We skydive every day of the year except for Christmas Day (25th of December) weather permitting from sun up to sundown. The sky above the airport must be clear with few clouds and the wind must be less then 25 knots on the ground.
