Did my first skydive with the team at Mission Beach and it will not be the last! Thanks for helping me develop an expensive new hobby! The views were incredible and there is nothing like the experience of free-fall. Still get a rush thinking about it! The handicam photos are super expensive (and not amazing quality) but the jump is over so quickly that it is nice to have a permanent reminder of it/how completely ridiculous you look. My tandem partner (Brett) was friendly and professional, chatting to me throughout the jump and putting me completely at ease. Would totally recommend.
My first skydive was a 60th birthday present from my partner and family. The reception at check-in was warm and welcoming, like I was a regular. Waiting for my instructor, Jimmy, I chatted to others waiting for or returning from a jump. Everyone was very friendly. Jimmy ran me through the drill and we were off to the plane with six others. His professional manner and confidence helped me enjoy the climb, although as the others exited I my heartbeat maxed out. After a few seconds of free fall my emotion turned from high stress to exhilaration and a feeling of ‘Yes, I did it!!!’ I was so focused on the vista that it was a surprise when the harness suddenly tightened as the canopy deployed. The gentlest of beach landings and it was all over too soon. Highly recommended.
Amazing experience, Was very nervous to begin but when you jump its so exhilarating! Do get your jump filmed as you will still be watching it in years to come! I jumped on the 09/01/2002 and still remember how amazing it was to fly over the sea and land on the beach,
I can honestly say it was the best experience of my life, would defo do another one in a heartbeat... The lads were so professional and friendly...made us feel at ease even doe I was jumping out of a plane!!:-) haha☀️
I did my first skydive here and I was terrified. The instructor was extremely nice and kept me distracted. Had an amazing time and they really know whta theyre doing. The views were spectacular. Just a little disappointed after paying so much for the dvd there was no music on it, so its just a loud crackling noise.
I have always wanted to a skydive and everybody I have met on my travels said do it at Mission Beach. You will not be disappointed. We jumped at 9:30am and the instructors were great and at no point did I feel uneasy about their ability. Jumping from 14000ft and free falling for a minute was amazing, you will never get a rush like it. Once the Shute is deployed you get beautiful views of the Great Barrier Reef and Northern Queensland and the lovely tropical environment.The facilities on the ground are great, they pick up and drop off at hostels and the staff are really friendly.If you are on the Oz Experience take along your wrist band as you can get a free t-shirt.I would 100% recommend anyone to do a skydive but only in Mission Beach.
I was backpacking around Australia and come across to Mission beach, as everyone had recommended that it has the highest Skydive in Oz, so we booked it up, turns out to be the best thing we have ever done, the whole day was perfect, and all I wanted to do when I hit the beach, was go straight back up. The Staff were great and made us feel every safe! And after an added bonus is that they cooked us a BBQ. A+++++Get Involved.
Thank you so much for your review, the team here at Mission Beach would love to see you back again!We appreciate the time you have taken to review your experience with us,
I enjoyed the skydiving- the weather was perfect. And the views amazing :) The staff were knowledgeable and helpful... Just be mindful that the time you are given is not the time of your actual jump- it's time for paperwork. I was told to be there @ 12, which I did. I filled out the paperwork & then had close to an hour and a half before my jump. It takes some time at the end as well for videos & photos to be completed & given to you.
Best place in Australia to skydive. Can literally see the fish in the water as you float down.Great experience all round.
