Finally I can tick it off my bucket list. It was an experience that left me breathless — thanks Sam for the instructions and for making it so much fun!

Absolutely recommend to anyone visiting Airlie beach; I don't think there’s a better place to skydive! The view is amazing and the staff was so kind throughout the experience. Bayley was my instructor and he was great, I felt comfortable and safe the whole time. We chatted before and after, which would definitely help to keep you at ease if you were nervous. Marcus was also great, just a super chill guy. I loved it so much that I’m considering taking the solo jump course.

My Experience with Skyone was great! I got picked up right infront of my Hostel. The sky jump itself was at 7am, so we had a great time during sunrise as well! My instructor was Waretini and he was a great funny guy who’s super professional! I’d definitely do it again!!

One of the most fun and wild experiences I’ve ever had! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I was lucky to have Jayden Woods as my instructor, he was with me every step of the way, kept me calm when I was nervous, and was kind, supportive, and full of good vibes. He truly made my skydiving experience the best it could be. Thank you so much for everything! I’d definitely do it again. 🙌🪂
Response from the owner: Thanks so much for the awesome review. We’re stoked to hear you had such a fun and wild experience, that’s what it’s all about. We’ll definitely pass your kind words on to Jayden, he’ll be thrilled to hear he helped make your skydive unforgettable. Would love to see you back in the sky again sometime.🙌🪂

Did my Sky Dive with Ben today who was an absolute legend. He let us do a backflip out the plane and got some really cool shots on the go pro. Highly recommend!!
