   Located in the Yarra Valley, Melbourne Skydive Centre is the closest skydiving centre to Melbourne. Feel the adrenalin as you exit the plane at up to 12,000 feet viewing the stunning 141 wineries, Melbourne CBD and Port Phillip Bay. Experience the rush of free fall reaching speeds of up to 220km/h followed by a relaxing parachute flight to the ground where on lookers will cheer you on. With a 100% safety record and customer focused service, this is the best way to experience a skydive. ‘Its an amazing feeling’

   Organised it as a surprise for my partner and went along for the ride. It was an amazing experience that I would recommend to everyone. Very friendly, professional and knowledgeable staff. Will definitely go back for the fantastic views and adrenalin rush.

   I organised a sky dive for my husband, and the joy on his face when he landed made the whole experience for me worth it!!! The team were all so friendly and encouring, as it can be quite nerve-racking when you are on the ground watching your loved one 10,000 feet above.

    As a fairly senior citizen (62) I was able to enjoy the thrill of the speed plunge without any discomfort or trepidation, such was the professionalism of the young team at Melbourne Skydive Centre.

    I rang around all the different skydive centres in Victoria and I found the team at Melbourne Skydive Centre had the best customer service and competitive prices. It was also the closest place and a fabulous location. We had a ball and I would recommend it to anyone.

    One of the best days ever. Cruised out to the Valley and then jumped from 10000ft. The team was very professional and I felt safe the entire time. The best part was landing into the winnery and being handed a glass of champagne seconds after touch down.
    I recommend this day to anyone.

    I had the most awesome time with Melbourne Skydive Centre. I jumped for the first time in March this year as a fund raising event and the staff were amazing. When faced with one of my greatest fears (heights!!) they were fantastic at keeping me relaxed and able to enjoy the experience to the point where I would do this again! The scenery in the Yarra Valley is out of this world too!!

    Yarra Valley Sky Dive gave me the most amazing experience I have ever had! The staff were very experienced and had a very professional and friendly attitude towards my onlookers and myself. The dive was incredible! Surrounded by the stunning views of the Yarra Valley as I was free-falling was an experience I will definatley do again and highly recommend it to EVERYONE!

    My first tandem skydive experience and I’m going back for more, hopefully solo as well.

    The team was fantastic, from the minute we arrived until finish. Very organized and true professionals.

    I wasn’t scared at all, that’s how safe I felt with the instructor. When I landed I wanted to go up in the sky again:)

    Don’t die before you try it. A lifetime memory.

    To whom it concerns,

    I have voted top marks for this centre, because of their excellent safety record and professional standards that they have set for the the sport of Skydiving to follow. In my eyes this is the best facility in Australia!!

    My first tandem jump was done with these guys. Dived out of the plane straight into Chandon winery where my friends were waiting with a nice glass of Chandon Bubbly. NICE! Had an awesome time and the footage provided with the jump was first class. Was a great experience and the guys were very professional - really made you feel comfortable with the idea of jumping out of the plane.

    What an amazing experience. I got my jump as a birthday present. The staff at Melb Skydive Centre were great, very friendly and tried to make me relax as much as i could! Would definately jump again with them. To anyone who is thinking about having this experience, don’t think just jump!

    I never pictured myself jumping out of a plane but when I recieved it as a gift I had to try it! Skydiving was a once in a lifetime experience. It was a feeling like no other and the team at Melbourne Skydiving centre made it feel safe and a most enjoyable experience. Got a great video and photos aswell! Definitely a must!

    Wow , I got my skydive as a surprise birthday present,and let me tell you i was truly surprised (shocked actually) , but this was something i had always wanted to do. The staff were really good as i was nervous ,but the pre training was very thorough and by the time it came to the jump I had clamed down and was really starting to enjoy myself. What can I say, it was absolutely fantastic ,the views were mindblowing and i’m definately going to jump again - Yeeehaaa!!!

    I tried to skydive naked. but for exposure reasons, it was not recommended.
    I guess not all of the Yarra Valley (which is amazing by the way) wanted to see my birthday suit.
    none the less, the guys there were mad fun.
    i recommend eating pie with cool hwip before and or even after the jump.
    The adreneline rush is amazing and you feel safe and secure the whole time.

    I recommend this to all who think about the idea. its a must!!

    The most amazing thing I have ever done in my life. It was a life changing experiance with the best crew of people you will ever meet. They answered every question I had and made me feel secure from start to finnish.
    The jump was breathtaking and the views were unbelivable.
    Stop reading this now and get up there to enjoy this experiance you will be hooked from the first jump.

    The staff were so friendly and explained/trained my friends and I in a professional manner. The view was amazing and I’ve skydived several times around Australia. The Yarra Valley jump was by far the most professional and spectacular jump I have ever done. Highly recommended!!
