Had such a lovely experience for my first time skydiving! Allison and Gord were courteous and welcoming, and Aiden made sure that our jump was not only fun, but helped ease a lot of my initial anxieties. An amazing time, and amazing staff.

Amazing dropzone with the most friendly staff and amazing facilities! I was treated so well by everyone there and the views were epic! Definetly one of the best places I have jumped two amazing skydives and hopefully more to come fantastic planes, instructors and pilots, thanks for a great day SVI I WILL BE BACK!

I “dived” right into my retirement last week with an unforgettable tandem skydive experience! Wow! It was so much fun- right from the moment I arrived and was welcomed by Allison and team, to the breathtakingly beautiful skydive over our gorgeous Vancouver Island. My tandem skydive instructor, Aiden, was the best! His calmness and professionalism instilled confidence that I was in good hands. It was very evident that he loves what he does, has fun doing it, and is excited to share his passion for skydiving with others. Thank you so much, Vancouver Island Skydive and Aiden, for being a part of this most memorable experience! I loved, loved, loved it!

Super amazing place to skydive, with views of the ocean, Mt. Arrowsmith and Cameron Lake. It was so much fun!
27 July 2023 5:42
Awesome experience! My jump had to be postponed a few times due to weather, and Allison was very timely in letting me know and flexible in rescheduling. I appreciate their outstanding customer service very much. My tandem guide Aidan was incredible! He was very knowledgeable and confident after nearly 4 decades of skydiving, but not cocky and was extremely personable. I enjoyed chatting with him just as much as I did jumping! I would totally jump again, but they set the bar so high. I'm not sure how I would feel doing it elsewhere now! Thank you again, I will totally send anybody and everybody in your direction!

I was really nervous before I got to jump off but I had an awesome guy that I was strapped to. He kept assuring me that I could do it, that everything would be fine and also convinced me that I was going to love it. In the end, I absolutely LOVED IT! Very wonderful people, always smiling, engaging and really helpful.
15 July 2023 1:18
Absolutely amazing time, the staff were wonderful and inspired confidence to dispel any nerves. Nothing compares to this experience, can’t wait to go again!
11 July 2023 11:14
My partner and I had a wonderful first sky diving experience here. The staff were experienced, confident, and efficient. They were also, kind and respectful throughout the process. I was a bit confused as how to get to the office and once I saw the flags behind to maybe a hanger, I knew it was the right spot. Can't miss it!
11 July 2023 1:24
Tandem skydiving with Aiden was one of the most amazing experiences of my entire life! I would do it again in a heartbeat
! Thankyou Aiden!
09 July 2023 10:46
Highly experienced, safe, professional and nothing short of amazing! From jumping to spectating this is a must do Vancouver Island attraction if you are looking to do something unique exciting fun and challenging.
06 June 2023 8:23
I think everyone’s needs to experience this at least once. Thank you for such an enjoyable experience.
04 February 2023 19:12
This is one of the coolest experiences I have had in my life! My tandem partner (Chris) was so reassuring and answered all my questions. My camera guy (Wade) kept me distracted on the flight up to keep my nerves down. The whole Skydive Vancouver Island team was amazing to deal with.

I thought I would be nervous as I'm scared of heights, but the height doesn't even register and it's just an amazing view! This couldn't have been a more fun experience and I've already recommended it to so many people!

The fantastic team at Skydive Vancouver Island made our skydiving experience exceptional! Thank you to Ben & Gord for a wonderful jump- we will definitely be back again!
26 November 2022 15:40
First time skydiving and the experience was more than expected! The team was super friendly and knowledgeable, they definitely make you feel comfortable and safe. Worth getting the video and photos! I would jump out of a plane again!
02 November 2022 18:56
Best skydiving experience ever! Love the staffs especially the lady who did our bookings and stuffs. The skydivers were super friendly and the camera works is just awesome and the view was just breathtaking. Thank you for your incredible service, will definitely come back next year!
30 October 2022 1:10
Best experience in my life! Gord was my instructor and he did it the best way. I was confident and he make a beautiful video of the whole adventure. I will dit again anytime.
22 October 2022 9:30
I actually left a written review yesterday when I posted the photos.not sure why it did not show up.so here is an update.

A friend on Facebook asked me about my jump and if it was scary.here was my reply. "I loved every second.no fear at all with an expert strapped to your back. The 200 km/hr free fall was the best dopamine rush ever.and then, "serene" is actually the ideal word for describing the floating down part once the shoot is open and you get to steer (make sure they let you take the reins for a bit). It was so peaceful to be on top of the world, quite literally. "

And about "Sir Jack" the dog, he's quite the character.a little hard to get to know, but when you show him a bit of love, he'll give some right back atcha.definitely a fun part of the overall package!
14 October 2022 15:15
What a fantastic experience, could not recommend this place more. The staff were all super personable and made the experience from start to finish impeccable.
12 October 2022 19:22
Skydive Vancouver Island was absolutely amazing! Te staff were all super friendly and took great care of us! It was the most crazy, beautiful, energetic, surreal but amazing experience I have ever done! If you have never skydived and are thinking about it, Skydive Vancouver Island is the place to go. I am still talking all about my experience and can't wait to share it with others.
08 October 2022 12:43
From beginning to end, the experience was easy, fluid, and thoroughly enjoyable. Alyson, Gordon, and the team made us feel right at home and are fantastic people to spend the afternoon with. The entire experience from beginning to end was awesome and we're so glad we chose to spend our 30th Anniversary with these fine folks. It's an experience we'll never forget and I highly recommend anyone and everyone try skydiving at least once, and can't think of anyone better to take you up!
05 October 2022 20:16
Amazing first time sky diving! Everyone was really friendly and helpful! Everything about the whole experience was great!
05 October 2022 0:31
I took my staff to skydive Vancouver island, and we had an absolute blast! Truly unforgettable experience. The people there are awesome and made all of us feel comfortable, and safe. So much fun. Thanks again!
01 October 2022 5:28
Not a single complaint. Fantastic experience. I was nervous because I was going 5 weeks postpartum and feeling anxious about doing something so high-risk after having my babe. I sent an email out of anxiety and one of the divers emailed me back and settled all my anxiety. It's a surreal experience I think everyone should experience at least once!
29 September 2022 20:18
I would definitely do it again
It's a once-in-a-lifetime (at least) experience, and should be a "must be" for all thrill seekers. The entire Skydive Vancouver Island team is a great family that will make you feel part of the group, all of them are professionals and take security as a priority, so you can be extremely confident to relax (or not) and live the adventure.

Thank you!

P. S. I <3 Jack

Just did my first jump! Wow! Allison and Gord are amazing and thank you Ben and Brian for an amazing experience! Jody and I had a blast️Definitely recommend these guys and they make you feel like family. Fun and safe environment. We'll be back!
25 August 2022 22:13
Can check that Bucket List box as completed ️ for a Lifetime Experience of thrills & Awesomeness Great operation & even better people greeting you n making you feel comfortable!
19 November 2021 17:25
Went skydiving for the first time there. It was so great! We chose the package with the gopro video and it was really worth it. Amazing video. Can really recommend this place! Thank you so much guys!
16 November 2021 17:15
The owners are absolutely amazing people. We were there to celebrate my friend Lesley's 80th birthday and they went above and beyond. All their staff were extremely professional and friendly. I cannot recommend this place enough! Get out and live a little.
15 August 2021 15:10
This is the best place to do sky dive in the whole of British Columbia. The owners are so so so nice couple, they run the place so so nicely. It was super personal touch and we could bring our whole family to experience the Sky Dive. They arranged for all pickup and drops from ferry terminal and took special care for our daughter too.

The sky diving experience was magnificent. The aeroplane ride in a small Cessna aircraft for 20 mins over Vancouver island was amazing. All the coastal views and the amazing Vancouver island mountain views.there were lakes nestled away in the mountains which are visible only to hikers were visible. The plane ️ was scenic and felt like a scene of a Hollywood movie. The sky dive was super smooth and the views again were breathtaking.
10 August 2021 6:55
Awesome place for a thrill-seeking adventure. The staff were very supportive and positive. They went through directions a few times throughout the process, but not in an annoying way, but because you absolutely forget what you're supposed to do when you're nervous. If you pay extra you can have videos and photos taken of the whole experience. Give it a go!
28 July 2021 22:26
Most incredible experience yet in my life! Extremely well run and professional business. Allison, Gord, Ben and the rest of the team are wonderful people and professionals. They made my experience all the more memorable than "just" jumping out of a plane. Truly an amazing afternoon. I highly recommend Skydive Vancouver Island to anyone who is interested in skydiving! Any fears or concerns you may have about trying this unique experience and quickly quelled with this team. Thank you Allison, Gord and Ben for an amazing experience.
21 June 2021 18:44
Amazing experience. Alison is so friendly and made everything easy. There's experienced skydivers jumping there too and they were so fun to watch.
18 June 2021 0:48
What a brilliant experience at Skydive Vancouver Island! I brought my three sons, husband and dog and Allison was so welcoming and ensured my family was looked after on the ground while Gord ensured my dive was safe and exhilarating. Ben’s videography was stunning and a beautiful keepsake of my experience. I highly recommend this incredible company!
09 June 2021 9:39
This was the most amazing experience I've ever had! I was so scared to commit but once I got there everyone was so friendly and assured me that it was going to be an amazing experience! They are professionals and by the time you get in the plane you feel at ease. The hard part is the waiting period on your own when your mind is racing. The feeling of free falling was something that could never be explained, you need to try this for yourself! If you're having doubts please push through them, you won't regret it! Thank-you emmet for being there with me on this amazing ride!

Chase and mark ️

The best decision I have made so far!
The team is just great - you feel, despite these times, totally safe and very well taken care of.
I will never forget the experience and will definitely take it back to Germany and spread the word.
Thanks again to the whole crew!
05 January 2021 0:17
Staff reassured me I was going to be fine. Friendly, sense of humor, very important as I was about to jump out of a perfectly good airplane
07 December 2020 22:51
A very warm and welcoming DZ, the operation and staff are first class! Come jump here if you're on the island
08 November 2020 6:08
The experience itself was incredible but what made it way way more fun and a wholesome time was the AMAZING CREW! Super worth it.
08 November 2020 2:09
Top notch drop zone run by a super professional team. I did my AAF student course here and they made the experience amazing. The instructors are excited to help you, and make everything feel super controlled and safe. Amazing view for your jump!
19 October 2020 14:15
I had the most exhilarating experience with the folks at Skydive Vancouver island. Bucket list life item definitely checked off. From the beginning to end, Gord and Allison run a tight ship. Communication is quick, questions are thoroughly answered. Process is easy to understand. You feel completely safe in their hands. On top of that the whole group is just so friendly and easy to be around. I loved flying with Gord - his humour and energy kept me less nervous. Then, it was all about letting go, enjoying the views and flying. Amazing - I’m still in a rush. Thank you Skydive Vancouver Island for a wonderful experience.

Got this for a surprise birthday gift for my boyfriends 21st! Best gift ever, he never expected it and we had the time of our lives, everyone there is so nice and they make you feel extremely safe I can’t express that enough, the plane ride was breathtaking but jumping out was the best part! When we left my boyfriend said he wishes we could do that everyday haha, we’ll definitely be back
22 September 2019 19:41
What an experience! Thanks to all the guys for making Jim's "freedom 55" birthday a day to remember! Totally more than I could have hoped for.
28 August 2019 5:48
Amazing experience. Staff were excellent, they couldnt have been more friendly & helpful! Would highly recommened to anybody who is thinking of doing it!
05 August 2019 12:57
I just completed my very first jump this past weekend! It was at the top of my BucketList and now I get to cross it off. Anyone having just the faintest desire to skydive, don't hesitate and have confidence with Skydive Vancouver Island!
17 July 2019 17:10
These people are like family. You will not meet a friendlier bunch of folks. Their love of the sport and joy is infectious. I have never seen anyone land and be anything less than all smiles and radiating pure happiness. If you've had skydiving on your bucket list, this is THE place to do it. The views are incredibly, amazing staff and regular jumpers, and an experience like no other. DO IT.:)
05 July 2019 8:42
We had a very good experience here. The first appointment we got was on a cloudy day and as soon as we wanted to go, it started to rain. So after a short time we rescheduled for the next day and it was quite an experience. We felt very safe and taken good care of. The fall itself cannot be described. It was terrifying and glorious at the same time. Would definitely recommend it.
30 June 2019 21:25
Awesome day! Took my two boys (19 and 21) and my 76 year old mother. We all jumped and had a great time. Gord and crew we answered all my moms questions and put her mind at ease before she jumped.would any of us go again.absolutely.
24 June 2019 15:48
Had my first tandem skydive experience here, and it's simply amazing! Gord and the team were awesome and super easy going. The ride up to 10,000 ft is really beautiful, smooth, and you get a nice tour of the area during the 17 minute flight up (thanks Doan). My brain ended up turning off during the backflip Gord gave me but eventually I got my focus back and was on my way rocketing down to earth as a floating banana.

Thanks for the unforgettable memories!
16 June 2019 15:28
Warm welcome from Gord Gauvin. Back in a couple of weeks for their first ever accuracy competition. Thanks to our lovely friends Don Halburt and Sheri Stanley for flying us over there in his Cherokee 6 for a quick trip on a beautiful day to check the drop zones out and say hi. A best day ever.
22 May 2019 15:37
What an awesome place! As a fun jumper, Gord and Allison are super hospitable and take care of their jumpers! Amazing views from this DZ. Will definitely be back again soon, thank you!
11 May 2019 13:52
Did my first jump ever here and it was amazing! Great views and great staff who made this a very memorable experience. I would love to return and jump here again!
28 April 2019 6:32
What a day.didn’t jump personally but brought some staff up for a promo shoot and we were taken care of from the moment we got there right till the end. We left feeling like we were long time friends.what a great experience.
