Amazing Skydive
This was the most amazing experience i had during my stay in Queensland. Cairns Sky Dive were very organised and very professional and put me at ease straight away. I dived with the Chief Instructor who was fantastic in evey way - friendly, fun and gave me confidence on my first ever skydive. Fantastic video and puotos - opportunity of a lifetime - don't miss out

a jump
The staff is very friendly, the location is great. The foto package didn‘t work out as expected, but they did what they could. Could be more information about the jump itself (length etc.)

Totally Amazing!
This was amazing!! Worth every minute! Dawn was the best time to do this, one of the best ways to see Cairns. Damo was brilliant. I can't recommend enough 😍

Amazing - do it!
Awesome experience start to finish. Friendly reception staff, excellent set up and encouraging sky divers. I’m on the maturer scale of years around the sun and loved every minute of it. If you’re in two minds just go for it.
