Tandem skydiving over Lake Taupo really is an experience of
a lifetime. GOOT Passport holders get 10%

want to have this on record!
Lake Taupo is a tandem skydiving mecca with more people choosing
to jump here than anywhere else in New Zealand! Lake Taupo is
the gateway to the Tongariro National Park, home to the North
Island's most active Volcano. The views are spectacular.
Choose between 12,000 feet and 15,000 feet. No prior training
is required as a fully qualified Tandem Instructor will tell
you all you need to know before you are securely harnessed and
exit the plane together.

Readers have left 4 comments. 4. Skydiving is exhilirating
Hector Dimaunahan (BU), Unregistered Skydiving is the probably one of the most exhilirating things I've ever done. It's crazy falling from 15,000 feet with the wind pulling my face back. 3. Taupo Freefall 15,000 ft skydive: Like Dizzy Dragon ride
Mimi Palmore (BU), Unregistered The cool thing when I went skydiving with Freefall was the people with us got the whole package, so they filmed us too and we got a DVD of ourselves afterwards without having to pay the extra 180 bucks. Also, they converted currency for us so our cards were charged in US dollars. The people were really nice. On the way down, we got to steer the parachute. The view was incredible. We could see Tongariro and the entire lake and on the way down, and we got to spin. It was like dizzy dragon at a carnival, except 10,000 ft in the air. 2. I’m terrified of heights and I loved the Taupo Freefall!
Jaimie Collum (BU), Unregistered 15,000 feet is the highest allowed jump for tandem, so flying up we had to get oxygen masks, which was cool. When you jump, the Freefall guide is in the plane, and you’re hanging out of the plane. It’s 65-70 seconds of free fall but it takes a while for your brain to register, so the free fall part seems shorter. I got to control the parachute once it opened and I spun around. The free fall was a huge rush and then it was really relaxing for 5 or so minutes on the way down. I’m terrified of heights and I loved it. I would recommend Freefall it to anyone. 1. Serene...
Kathy Lee (BU), Unregistered Sky-diving was unbelievable. We all thought it was so different from the bungy experience - not as much stomach-clenching fear. It was almost ... serene. Definitely wouldn't mind doing that again. |
