A special thanks to Ben, who really helped me through the whole process. My English is not very good, but thanks to the Spanish he spoke, everything became much easier and less stressful for me. He explained everything clearly, made me feel confident, and helped turn the experience into something unforgettable.
The jump itself was absolutely incredible and something I will remember forever. I highly recommend this company to anyone thinking about doing a skydive. Amazing staff, great atmosphere, and excellent customer service. Thank you all so much!
I felt supported from pickup through to landing on the beach. A wonderful experience. Bailey was my man for the day he did not dissappoint. I am an older person, any concerns I may have had were put to rest because of the care, put forward by the team. Thank you Skyone sharing this adventure
with my daughter was well and truly worth it, second to nothing.
I was ridiculously nervous but Cindi my instructor was great. She really calmed my nerves and talked me through every stage. She is so good at what she does, and makes the best videos too!
One of the best experiences of my life, I loved it so much more than I ever thought I would
Thank you so much to Cindi and also to the girl on reception who very kindly helped me plait my hair!
If you’re planning on doing a skydive here, absolutely go for it!!! I now want to do another 😍
If you've never done a skydive then this is the place to do it (and dont let age put you off), the views are stunning. I enjoyed every minute. Well done guys👏👏👏👏
However, I would strongly advise future customers to be very careful about what they are paying for.
At the end of the jump, I was shown a video from the perspective of the videographer who jumped with us. I really liked that footage, so I paid an additional $120 to receive it. Unfortunately, what I later received was not the same — it had been edited and mixed with GoPro footage, which is not what I expected or agreed to.
When I asked for the original footage I had seen, I was then asked to pay an extra $30, supposedly to “allow staff to review all sequences,” which I find quite disappointing and unreasonable considering the price already paid.
Skydiving is already a luxury experience, and while it’s understandable to pay for memories, the pricing and lack of transparency around the videos make it feel excessive.
So yes, great experience overall — but be cautious with the add-ons and make sure you clearly understand what you’re getting before paying.
I felt very safe throughout the entire experience and had so much fun during the jump. I highly recommend giving it a try — 10/10 experience!
They also did an incredible job with the photos and videos, which made the memories even more special. Thank you so much again!
I had the best time, thank you!!
:)
I've just returned from an epic 6 week trip up the east coast of Australia, and when asked what the highlights were, my skydive is always up there as a favourite moment from the trip.
The whole experience was super smooth, and made me feel at ease. Huge shoutout to my instructor, Ryan, who was brilliant, kept me calm and made the whole experience a joy.
A must do activity when in Airlie Beach!
We can’t praise the whole team enough. The website is very informative. The transfer bus pickup was prompt, the journey takes about 40 mins.
Once there everything was explained fully, every member of staff were friendly and putting people at ease. Our instructors Tony and Ryan were excellent,reassuring and fun, demonstrating many safety checks and explaining what to do and the process. The fly time before dive is around 15 mins with lovely views.
The skydive itself was just exhilarating, We felt safe throughout and can wholeheartedly recommend! We chose the additional videographer’s to record such an amazing experience which is an expensive additional cost.
Anybody that does not do this for a living and says they are not scared is lying. It was nerving to start with but once off of the ground things settled down. Sitting in the doorway waiting to jump was scary, but with six foot of instructor behind you nudging you along it wasn't long before we were free falling. Like nothing on earth feeling flying through the sky. All captured on camera for a cost. That was more expensive than I bargained for at $310AU each, which could have been more reasonable, but with a captive audience and a once in a lifetime experience we had no choice really. Would I do it again YES .
I did my skydive yesterday with the SkyOne team in Australia, and it was absolutely amazing. My instructor Ben was extremely kind, calm, and professional, which made me feel safe and confident throughout the jump. The entire team was very cooperative and supportive from start to finish.
I also really appreciated how promptly I received my videos and certificate. Everything was well organised and smooth. Thank you, SkyOne, for giving me such a memorable once-in-a-lifetime experience! Highly recommended.
Arriving at the site didn’t inspire confidence—just a few shed-like buildings and a runway. Although we booked a 9:30 skydive, we weren’t told we’d have to wait over an hour to even have a safety briefing, which was tough while already nervous, standing in hot, dusty conditions with plane fumes and no food or refreshments available.
The skydive itself and instructors were amazing, but the process felt rushed to fit in as many jumps as possible.
The return journey was long on an old, dirty bus, dropping instructors at their homes. We even stopped at a petrol station where instructors got food while we were left waiting, starving with no communication at all.
We left at 9am and didn’t return until after 3pm— disappointing service for the price paid.
Andrew was brilliant throughout, explaining everything clearly and keeping me informed the whole time. He even let me control the parachute, which was so fun. I absolutely loved every second and couldn’t recommend SkyOne enough. An unforgettable experience, thank you!
I would highly recommend SkyOne in Airlie Beach — the whole experience was unforgettable✈️🪂
The team here is super professional, relaxed, and welcoming. I did my first parachute jump with them this morning and had an incredible time. We took the courtesy bus to their location which was a 40 minute drive from our hotel pickup at Mantra Club Croc in Cannonvale. Although, you may drive yourself to the location which could save you time on your return trip post parachuting since you must wait for enough people to travel back in the courtesy bus - if you're on a tight schedule.
My instructor was Neal from Germany. He was very informative and communicative, explaining everything in the process from start to finish in concise detail. I had booked the ultimate package with video recording which was absolutely worth it for the price as a first-timer.
I wore my prescription smart sunglasses which were protected by goggles given by the instructor, though I would reccommend any sort of glasses straps or devices to secure them for the duration. Caught an amazing first person perspective of the 3-minute parachute ride down post free fall!
The plane exit and landing both went incredibly smooth. You're able to control the parachute with verbal instruction while you witness the unbelievable panoramic views of the gorgeous coastscape...
The world-record holding, over 50 years of skydiving, and more than an incredible 40,000 dives legend, Phil Onis was even on-site helping out with the team which was really cool to see.
When all is said and done you return from the landing beach, and you receive a neat little digital skydive certificate that you can share with your friends and loved ones to commemorate the feat.
I would undoubtedly do this again in a heartbeat. This was a phenomenal experience that I'll never forget.
Thanks again to the amazing team at Skyone Airlie Beach!
SKYONE is a fantastic company, very organised, from picking us up in the morning right on time, all the way through to dropping us back off. All of the staff are extremely kind, caring, genuine and funny people and I can’t praise them enough. I was lucky enough to jump with Sam, who built a confident and fun bond straight away and really put effort in to talking to me and getting the best footage possible, thank you! I also paid extra for the ultimate video package and Tony was the guy who captured that footage, again extremely nice, greeted with a smile and captured the best footage of the best thing I’ve ever done.
Thank you guys!
were great. From being so helpful with questions asked when booking to helping you relax, when getting you ready for the jump. Special mention to Sam who was my instructor/ jump partner. He was great, putting me at ease and making me feel very safe to the point that when in free fall I was not thinking about when was the parachute going to open. It took me by surprise when it did. I was enjoying it so much. If anyone is thinking about if they should give it a go or not, or like me I said there is no way I’m going to jump out of a plane. Push yourself out of your comfort zone and do it. It is a fantastic experience. So glad I did. Thanks again to all at Sky One
From start to finish, the whole experience was amazing! My instructor Sam was fantastic – super professional, friendly, and made me feel completely at ease the entire time. He explained everything clearly, kept the mood light and made sure I was comfortable all throughout.
A huge shoutout as well to Marcus, the media jumper, who captured the whole experience perfectly! He was so much fun and kept me smiling and laughing the whole way down. We played rock, paper, scissor mid jump which was the best (Not a lot of people can say they’ve done that during their sky dive). The photos and video turned out amazing – such great memories to keep forever.
Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better team or a more exciting experience. If you’re thinking about skydiving, definitely do it – and hope you get Sam and Marcus!
Big thanks to Saeran, my skydive instructor—extremely professional, made me feel safe and have fun the whole time, and landed unbelievably smoothly.
And shoutout to Hollie, who jumped with us and captured amazing videos and photos. You all made this experience unforgettable and so much fun!
The best birthday gift! 🎉
Ben was the absolute man, couldn’t have had a better instructor/new mate to skydive with! He naturally makes you feel so comfortable to properly enjoy the whole experience from start to finish. He loved the one sock look - what a ledge.
Sky one were top professions, from the gear, to the organisation of each flight.
Cannot recommend enough!
What an incredible experience! Jumping out of a plane with SKYONE Airlie Beach was absolutely unforgettable. The team were professional, fun and made me feel completely safe the whole way through. From the moment we checked in to the exhilarating freefall and breathtaking views over the Whitsundays, everything was spot on. The instructors were encouraging and brought such good energy that made the whole experience even better. If you’re thinking about skydiving, do it – and do it with these guys!
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. 🙌🪂
We really appreciated the views … and we are not taking about just the scenery.
Thanks boys 😊
I will definitely be going back!
Thanks Airlie team for the most memorable 40th present 🥳
My sister also jumped, with Waretini and videographer Ben. She was a bit nervous at first but they made the experience comfortable and enjoyable, and now she’s saying she wants to do it again! Overall this was an experience of a lifetime for both of us.
Particularly my instructor - Jayden. He explained everything beforehand, told me how to jump safely and about how were attached.
Great experience and will definitely be doing another
A very big thanks to the shuttle bus driver that picked us up at Airlie Beach that morning. I definitely owe him for his interactions. He made a very big effort with us and everything he said reassured me and made me instantly calm. It was class. Sorry, I don't remember his name but he's currently training himself and he had about shoulder length hair.
Many many thanks,
Muireann
We were collected from our apartment and brought to the airfield. There we were weighed, kitted up and assigned a tandem instructor for our dive.
My instructor, Sharath, was excellent. He was totally calm and reassuring. We paid for the dive to be recorded and Sharath's video skills on the gopro were amazing, capturing the dive and the beautiful views. I even had a chance to control the parachute, once it was open, to guide its direction.
Highly recommended experience. Just do it, if you get the chance.
Thank you very much for that great experience :)
