Risk Warning:
Your participation in parachuting activities is inherently dangerous and may involve risks. These risks include, but are not limited to those arising from prevailing conditions such as weather or health conditions you may have. Despite careful packing, the parachute may open abruptly or not open correctly which may result in injury. Unintended incidents may occur during the aircraft flight, descent or on landing. Parachuting is done at the parachutists’ own risk. Any person parachuting, training to parachute, flying in any aircraft being used for parachuting or participating in any activity carried out by Skydive Australia may only do so on the distinct understanding that they do so entirely at their own risk.
Reviews
Jump master Damo was professional and interactive. Safety was priority by the team. Equipments were definitely looking well-maintained. Be prepared to pay additional for footage, but highly recommended! you would not want to miss them. I will definitely return!
This is our first skydive session. Highly recommended to choose the earliest session so you can watch the sunrise. It was a great experience at Cairns. If you want your photos or videos taken, you need to add on package at the shop.
It was an awesome day! DC is a very experienced and professional skydiver. He is very patience and explained every steps in detailed to ensure I understood it fully. I feel I’m in his safe hands and he made a very smooth landing. Good job!
The price was reasonable, all of us purchased the photo and video package. My guide Dylan is a very experienced instructor, this little adventure was amazing because of him. Strongly recommend this to anyone who would stay in Cairns.
The flight continued to be delayed due to the wind. It is a good idea to check the weather and plan your itinerary before making a reservation. I heard about the diving being postponed about an hour before my reservation time and had to wait. The pre-boarding training video had Korean subtitles and detailed explanations. The instructors are very friendly and skilled. It was so windy that beach landing was impossible, but this experience was the best and unforgettable. You can add video up to a handycam. I added all the packages and was satisfied but felt it was overpriced.
Instructor Damo and the staff are super nice, and the office is separated from the reef terminal. Although there is no call or pick-up on klook, the email confirmation proactively offers free pickup. Even my companions are welcome to leave in the car. It takes 15mins to go to the dropzone. I don’t plan to buy a movie, so I jumped. You have to watch the preview, buy it now for AUD200, it’s worth it
So I slept in for that trip, I was having a minor panic attack and I called in for some solution… Luckily Jackie on staff helped me slotted in for a later skydive trip! Fantastic experience up there! I would definitely come back for another trip😤! Just a heads up you have to pay extra for the pics and videos lol🫨
An activity experience not to be missed, being at an altitude of 15,000 feet, under the guidance of professional coaches, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Great Barrier Reef, feeling yourself flying like a bird, a great joy in life.
Rauno was fantastic and very experienced! Great service, equipment and experience. Most definitely worth every dollar
The instructors I rode with were so fun and knowledgeable that it wasn't difficult at all! It wasn't as scary as I thought and it was the best activity I've ever done! Just keep in mind that you can't see the ocean view! I'd do it again.
