Testimonials

A lot of first time jumpers have taken the time to write about their Skydive experience, below is a sample of letters and comments taken from our log book.

From Kaleena Kingsford (NZ)

“Just a quick line to let you know that I loved the sky dive in the weekend!! (Saturday) It was AWESOME! Can you thank my tandem jumper guy (I forgot his name, the one with the accent) He was brilliant. Once again, thank you for the experience!

Might see ya again (If I can get up enough nerve again!)”

From Sucheta Rawal (All the way from Atlanta)

I just wanted to tell you that I really enjoyed the skydive & would love to do it again the next time I'm in NZ. You were an awesome Tandem master!
If you are ever visiting the Atlanta area, do give me a call!

From Hans Meier

Hi All, hope you'r fine. I wonna say: I'm a Swiss guy who wanted do learn skydive and I did it. These were the best holidays I'f ever had. I'm happy that I chose this DZ. It was an absolutely great time and I enjoyed every minute. The JMs did a geat job. I always felt safe and enjoyed every single jump ( I did 32 there). If someone would like to start skydive or wants to do an tandem, call Eric. YOU WILL NOT BE WRONG. Great people and great area. Now on german: Hey Leute, wenn ihr fallschirmspringen lernen wollt und euch dafÃ¯Â¿Â½r entscheidet dies in New Zealand zu tun kann ich diese ZD wirklich empfehlen. Es ist vieleicht nicht die grÃ¯Â¿Â½sste DZ in NZ aber dafÃ¯Â¿Â½r haben und nehmen sich die Leute die ihr da trefft und die euch das Springen beibringen wirklich Zeit fÃ¯Â¿Â½r euch. Absolut hervorragender Service in allen belangen und ein familieres Umfeld erwartet euch da. War fast 2 Wochen dort und habe jede einzelne Minute genossen.
