A must do! One of the most picturesque skydives you could ask for - coming in to land over the great barrier reef. Not for the faint hearted of course - it is absolutely terrifying. I describe this as my best and worst moment to date. The company are very professional and the staff like to have a good laugh... More

Super scary but super amazing. The staff were excellent at calming my nerves, very professional and safe and go out of their way to ensure that the experience is great. Definitely recommend Misson beach its beautiful from so high up, the reef is different colours, turtles are visible and the beach with tiny people and houses. Unbeatable feeling, despite being...

We got on the shuttle bus at 9am and ended up back to hotel at 9pm. It took 2 hours from Cairns to Mission Beach, we arrived at 11am, but there were so many people that day, and ended up, my husband and I were in the last group, which was scheduled at 6pm. Initially, when we joint the tour... More

...and see it get bigger and bigger as you rush at terminal velocity towards the sea after tumbling from a plane. The instructors are very very experienced skydivers and are very safety conscious without taking the fun out of the experience. Of course all first timers are going to not be thinking perfectly clearly with their legs dangling outside of... More

I was lucky. We had the most perfect weather with blue skies and hardly any wind. To think before I used to think Mission beach wasn’t much to the eye at all… man I was wrong! We started off early from our hostel pick-up around 6:45am. Still time for a coffee on the way with a sleep on the bus,... More

Wow. Expensive but after the jump the price won't even cross your mind! The Skydiver I jumped with was awesome, help me keep my nerves, and the actual skydive was scary/exciting/exhilarating from the second the tiny plane took off from the field. More
