Noosa: Tandem skydive oplevelse

Herby was my instructor and was an absolute legend! Made the experience so much more worth it when your instructor is as fun and experienced as he is. Was the trip of a lifetime, a MUST DO!

This was made as a surprise booking for me and my partner on Valentine’s Day. It was unfortunately cancelled for that day due to weather and moved to the following weekend. We arrived to the centre on the new booking date for our skydive to be advised that we aren’t on the list today. We had been cancelled and not advised. Unlike the first time they cancelled, there was no phone call or email. We’d driven over an hour for this jump. I was told that a text was sent to me. There was (see attached message) but it was a dodgy mystery message and had nothing to do with a cancellation. We were also told by the staff that strikes are going on and so they’re short staffed. Despite this, other people were turning up exactly like us who were not cancelled. I wasn’t given any sort of explanation as to why no one told us it was cancelled, why we weren’t told or why other people could go and not us. This is now the third time we’re moved our booking. What was supposed to be a valentines gift is now a jump that might or might not happen in March now. At this point we’ve lost interest and trust. If they can’t organise a booking, how are we supposed to trust them to throw us out of a plane 🙄 **Edit: I called and cancelled our booking 01 March and as of today (17 March) we still haven’t received our refund! This is an absolute joke! $800 that we still dont have and no one to follow up or apologise. Just a stupid excuse that they don’t have enough staff to refund our money!

Both my partner and I first ever skydive experience Loved every minute of it and never once felt unsafe or nervous. The staff were very friendly and clear with their instructions given to us

Skydive Australia was a great place to do our first skydive. The instructors were friendly and knowledgeable. They told us everything we needed to know prior to taking us up and made us feel safe the whole way through. Overall, Max and Jaron were fantastic and we could not have had a better experience

The most incredible experience! The staff found it was my birthday that morning and everyone made me feel so so special! Mac & Philip were the BEST instructors and made the whole experience so much fun. The skydive itself was an amazing experience, and we were fortunate enough with the weather to have no delays and got to land on the beach which was gorgeous. Could not recommend more, everyone that helped us on the day was so lovely, including the office staff :)

My wife and I both did a tandem Skydive today. From beginning to end the organisation was fantastic. We were kept In the loop when cancellation was required secondary to bad weather. Rebooking was a simple process. The professionalism was second to none. Safety and procedure was explained very well. As well as the serious side to the skydive the instructors were a real bunch of characters which made the skydive so much fun. My instructor Jaron was a fantastic chap. All I can say is thank you from my wife and I for one of the most exhilarating experiences of our life.

NOT 15000ft We paid for 15,000ft but we only went to 10,000ft. Before the flight we checked our planes flight path and saw that they had only requested to go to 10,000ft. This was the case for all the flights that day. 3040m is 10000ft. After our jump when we showed the front desk, they acted shocked. They said they didn't know how this could have happened. They assured us the accounts team would be in contact to refund us the difference between 15000ft and 10000ft which is $80 per person. After speaking with some people in the know it turns out this is the usual protocol. So don’t pay extra for a higher jump. Remember, it's unlikely that everyone opted for 15000ft, so everyone in the plane jumps from the same height, it's unlikely you have gone to 15000ft. NOT a Beach landing After we arrived ready to jump, we were informed that we would not be landing on the beach. Additionally, that our friends who had come from Brisbane to watch my elderly mother do a once in a lifetime jump could not watch the landing because it was on private property. Apparently, this was due to a westerly wind, however looking at the historical weather report was easy to see there was no westerly wind on that day in Coolum. Either way, I think this should be communicated ahead of time, so that people can plan accordingly. So sad to see profits coming before customers. Especially for something that is a special once in a lifetime experience for many people. The instructors are great though :)

Paid for a 15000 drop. It was 10000. Landed in a paddock not the beach. Told it was because there was a strong westerly wind blowing. The day the weather was without wind. Weather bureau can confirm. The staff did not tell us we only parachuted from 10000 feet. Our suspicions confirmed when we checked out the flight details. Staff then made all sorts of lame excuses when found out. Beware if you pay the extra. Could not fault the tandem sky divers. So utterly disappointed. And yes it is certainly nowhere near Noosa. Took off from Maroochydore and landed in Maroochydore.

The title suggests a beach landing, not true! It wasn’t until we booked in did we find out that there wasn’t a beach landing. Landing was in a field that meant no family nor friends could watch them land. Very disappointing and service was less than friendly. Don’t use this company if you want a beach landing as they advertise, as you will be as disappointed as I was.

An unforgettable day at skydive noosa, the whole team was incredible with a massive thank you to Jamie, Mac and Herb who made the day and experience amazing and a day neither of us will forget. thank you so much, we both definitely recommend skydive noosa!
