Website was easy to use, could have been more descriptive ie if you could take a spectator and what clothing was most suitable.

I booked skydive over the reef which wasn't a true description of the dive. The skydive however was amazing, an experience I won't ever forget. I would be happy to book with this company again in the future.

I just still not yet got my refund of the cancelled skydiving tour.
Originally my pick up time should be 9:30. Then, it delayed to 11:30, then 11:45, then 12:30. As what the staff of Skydive Cairns told me, due to miscommunication, the driver didn't come to pick me up. She also told me I had to wait until 2pm to confirm my tour because it's too windy to skydive at that time. I waited until 2 and no surprise, my tour was cancelled.
I just kept waiting for the whole morning, wasting time but did nothing. Things were screwed up and out of plan. No one called me to tell me the cancellation of the tour but only a simple text message was sent to me. I felt bad about all of these.
Everything Travel Group Review
I was really impressed with Skydive Cairns service and quality. From check in all the way through all their staff were happy and having fun. The jump itself was breathtaking and certainly the most extreme way to see Cairns. My instructor kept me calm throughout and then after he had pulled the shoot guided us down talking in my ear like a mid air tour guide and pointing out points of reference. I really enjoyed my jump with these guys and would definitely recommend first time jumpers or people that have jumped before let the team from Skydive Cairns push you out of an aircraft!
Suggestions: Go as high as possible. 14,000ft gives you more freefall and doesn't cost much more.

I am taking my daughter, son in law and two grandsons, 14 and 12, on a holiday to Australia from Scotland arriving on Sunday 3rd April 2022 staying in Port Douglas. On Tuesday the 5th we are doing the Great Barrier Reef tour. Myself and son in law have both done a skydive in Orlando and I want to give my grandsons the thrill of the jump.

Hi
I would like to find out if you have an afternoon session for skydiving? My friends and I are flying in from Sydney and will touchdown at 10.15 am on 15 July 2014. If you have an afternoon slot, say at 2pm, it would be great.
Comments
Hi Su Sun Oon. Yes, there are afternoon Cairns skydive departures however these are only confirmed once the morning time slots are full. If would like to in the afternoon then you can book via our website for the morning and then please mention in the 'additional information' field in the booking page that you want to go at 12.30pm instead. We will then book you on for the afternoon time slot instead. You will need to call to confirm the day before to reconfirm. If your skydive does not go ahead in the afternoon then you have the option of rescheduling to another day or receiving a full refund.
Hi
One of our group of 3 wants to Skydive, we are happy to make our own way to the airport - where should us 2 spectators watch from to get best view of our Skydiver coming down??
Comments
Hi Fiona. Yes, you can all make your own way out to the skydive shop at the Cairns airport where you will be able to watch the pre skydive briefing and then go out to the drop zone where your friend who is skydiving will land. There is no cost to spectate the tandem skydiving in Cairns. When you book the skydive online just mention in the 'additional information' field that there are 2 spectators that wish to watch and you are going to all make your own way to the airport. We will then email your booking confirmation straight back with all the necessary details and information.
I would like to book a skydiving for myself in mid January 2014, but I wonder how can I settle my wife and child, who won't join the skydiving. Can they go with us? Any transportation provides for them to go to the venue of skydiving with me? Can they be observers? Any charge?
Comments
Hi Alfred, spectators are able to go on the bus free of charge as long as there is space in the bus and it is not full of skydivers. Spectators can only book on the night before the Skydive when you call to reconfirm your booking and for a weather check. They cannot be pre-booked prior to this. If there is space then they will be booked on the bus with you.
Hi just wondering if I were to book, would I be able to be picked up from the pacific sands apartments in holloways beach?

Comments
Hi Britney, yes Skydive Cairns will be open on Australia day. If you are wanting to pay separately just book separately and make sure you do it for the same day and time and note in the "additional information" field that you are travelling together and we will make sure we book you on together.
Is insurance included in these packages?
Comments
Hi Georgia,
There is a $35 APF compulsory levy (Australian Parachute Federation) payable on the day. If you require personal insurance cover you would need to arrange a personal policy through an insurance company.
Hi, My son is visiting Aus next week and wants to do a Parachute jump, unfortunately he has epilepsy. Is it possible he could do a jump and will the insurance cover him.
Heya, People have jumped with epilepsy before but he must have a doctors note with him saying that he is approved to skydive. As they cannot make the decision for you it needs to be made by a doctor/ your son.

Comments
Hi Andrew, everyone who is over 100kg is assessed on the day of their jump at Skydive Cairns by the jump masters and a decision is made then as to whether or not conditions permit jumping.

Hi, is it possible picking me up 3 pm instead of 2 pm?
I really want to do skydiving, but i have only from 3pm schedule.
Thank you for ur time.
Comments
Oops, i got the answer for this question. Thank you. When are we back from skydiving if we do it the fastest in the morning? We want to go to Kuranda after skydiving. U think, is it possible taking skyrail for going and train for coming back? Thank you.
Hi Terry, yes you could do the earliest skydive and then do the Skyrail and Kuranda Railway combo afterwards. You would just need to be on the first Skydive trip and also the later Skyrail departure.

Hi do you get a free t-shirt with a 14000ft skydive or is it only included with the gold package? I'm collecting them for all the adrenaline activities.

Hi Ting. Sorry to hear your skydive was eventually cancelled and that you had to wait around all day. That must have been very frustrating for you. Your refund was processed immediately on the day your skydive was cancelled. This may take up to 5 days to appear in your bank account. Thanks for taking the time to offer your feedback and we will be sure to pass your comments in regards to the poor communication on to the team at the Australia Skydive Company.
