The care & attention the staff/instructors gave me before & after my flight @ Skydive Abel Tasman Motueka NZ
The parachuting was a marvellous experience , but the free fall wasn’t so pleasant as I probably needed a helmet to protect from the cold … very painful!

A wonderful experience!! We always wanted to do a skydive and this was definitely the right company to do it with. They were thoroughly professional and made the experience really safe. The location is outstanding with Abel Tasman and Mount Arthur on show. It was a great deal too!
