Skydiving in Taupo, New Zealand, is an amazing experience for thrill-seekers and adventure enthusiasts. Taupo may not be as well-known as Queenstown or Wanaka for skydiving but it still offers an incredible and unique experience that should not be missed.

New Zealand is known for its unpredictable weather, and cancellations are common for skydiving trips due to adverse conditions, which is what happened in my case. I initially booked the trips in Queenstown and tried Wanaka, but fail. However, I made the most of my situation by finding a Plan B and making the most of my experience in Taupo.

Skydiving in Taupo provides a breathtaking perspective of the stunning natural beauty that New Zealand is famous for. During the freefall, you'll be able to take in the picturesque Lake Taupo, the largest lake in New Zealand, and the surrounding mountains of the Central Plateau. You'll also experience the thrill of freefalling at speeds of up to 200 km/h for around 60 seconds before the parachute is deployed.

One of the benefits of skydiving in Taupo is that it is a less crowded location compared to Queenstown and Wanaka, which means you'll have more space and freedom to enjoy your jump. The instructors and staff at the skydiving companies in Taupo are highly experienced and knowledgeable, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all participants.

Additionally, Taupo is conveniently located in the central North Island of New Zealand, making it easily accessible by car or bus from major cities such as Auckland and Wellington. While in Taupo, you can enjoy various other outdoor activities, such as hiking in the nearby Tongariro National Park, soaking in natural hot springs, or exploring the Maori cultural sites.

Skydiving in Taupo is a must-do activity for anyone seeking a unique and unforgettable experience in New Zealand. The stunning scenery, experienced instructors, and convenient location makes it an excellent choice for anyone looking for an adventure, especially if trekking the Tongariro crossing is in your itinerary.
