    I personally found the atmosphere a bit too young/hip/backpackers, but that is just a detail, because it was an unforgettable day!

    The skydive in Taupo was the first one I ever did and it was amazing!

    I did the 15,000ft jump without any video package. The jump was one of the best experiences of my life, especially the moment you jump out of the plane.

    If you have never skydived - do it!

    We did the 15,000 ft dive which I would recommend over the 12,000 ft as it happens so quickly so the longer the better. Had sore ears after but well worth it. The view was gorgeous!
