4.0/5
it was a good experience in itself.
the waiting around not so much. we were there for 3 hours during for a 2pm jump. because we were jumping we didn't have lunch before and got really hungry. so if you even want to try this out, bring a snack for waiting period.
I'd recommend anyone who's interested to try skydiving, it is honestly one of the best thing I have ever tried in my life

Skydiving is a must-do experience and Wanaka is a great place to do it.
Minor gripes with the service, price, and videowork though. The NZ deals pass helped a little.

Beautiful lakes around, which you can see even better when you jump out of the plane.

Amazing experience.
Incredible views. Alex was a great instructor. Make sure you watch the welcome safety video. I had no instructions until I was already on the plane.

It's good to have free shuttle service from Queenstown to Wanaka, have another option of skydiving when you stay at Queenstown.

We had to cancel it four times because of the weather but in the end it was amazing.
But $200NZD for pictures and a movie is a bit expensive.
