Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The views were amazing and so was the crew, the ground staff too was warm and showed concern to sort any apprehensions before boarding the plane. My tandem master RILEY MCCARTHY was a real support, had a remarkable experience. Thanks Taupo Tandem Skydiving team. 👍

very great full for having the most awesome jump partner Laura Bamford, made the whole experience so much easier, I could easily see how alot of people could get very nervous in this situation, but Laura just made me more excited to do it, thank you so much for the experience.

My heart feels so full. It was my first time skydiving and I would do it again in a heartbeat. You have the most incredible staff onboard ! Benjamin is incredible, he was so supportive for my big jump. He’s so professional and good at his job. It was good to overcome my fear of heights. ✨☺️

Fantastic staff, my instructor Gareth was brilliant- calm,reassuring and with a touch of humour to lighten up the fact I was about to throw myself out of a plane! 😆Better than expected,highly recommend.Stunning views too.

I lucked out at getting Linley as my Tandem Master. Anyone who is considering this, he is the one to go with. I was extremely nervous, and while his comedic skills need a little work, he was calm and clear with instructions, making it one of the most insane and best things I’ve ever done. Thank you Linley!

I’m blanking on my cameraman’s name but he was amazing too, trying to help calm my obviously nerves. You rock!
