Thank you so much to everyone at skydive Fox, my boyfriend and I jumped from 12000ft and had an absolutely amazing morning. Special thanks though to our instructors Ben and Francois who were super friendly, re assuring yet funny. Views where insanely beautiful! Would recommend to anyone to do. Video/ photo package well worth the money, hilarious to watch back!... More

This is really a nice way to do a skydive, above the glaciers. I was supprised with how they treat you as a costumer, so professional. They picked me up from my hostel, showed me a video to get into the mood then calm instructions and really time for your questions. Not this overexcited shouters, but really like your jumping...

We booked for a 2.30 'drop' but had to wait until 4 to actually go because we were in a line which was annoying, but the experience itself was amazing as you had a spectacular view of Mount Cook in the airplane and the staff were really calming.

We did a skydive in Fox Glacier in November 2012 and it was awesome.. but personally, I think me and my partner got a different things from what we paid compare with my friends. They was supposed to give us a 4gb memory stick instead of a 2gb memory stick and a certificate after we jumped. I checked with all... More

Ian Clark is a great instructor! He's the 2011 hang gliding champion. Very calm and definitely knows what he is doing. Views are amazing! Must do! Am so addicted that I want to learn how to hang glide!

We felt so safe with Paul & Ollie doing a tandem jump. Never done anything like this before. So professional but super friendly. No pressure to buy any extras such DVD. Totally amazing experience, stunning views - we could see Mitre Peak, Mount Aspiring, Mount Cook, Mount Tasman, all the way up the west coast and way over the east... More

I had a fantastic experience jumping with the guys at Fox. I am a qualified solo diver, but found it extremely hard finding somewhere to jump in new zealand. The guys at Fox however did give me this opportunity and I am forever grateful. Our plane got up to 16k and the jump was accompanied by the magnificient surroundings. The... More

One of the most exhilarating activities I have ever done! Did the 12,000 ft! The skydive team was accommodating, friendly and efficient. Francois was my tandem master and with over 7600 dives, I was very comfortable that I was strapped to him! Would be nicer if it wasn't too cloudy. I would highly recommend skydiving in Fox Glacier for the... More

I skydive here and taupe whilst in NZ. Taupo was amazing but the sunset jump at Fox tops it by far!! Make sure to do the 16,000ft, as you go closer to mount cook.
