GoSkydive

Skydiving In the New Forest

A tandem skydiving experience like no other

The UK’s Specialist tandem skydiving centre just 60 minutes from the New Forest

The UK’s specialist tandem skydiving centre just half an hour from New Forest. GoSkydive is the UK’s only specialist first-time tandem skydive centre. Located in Salisbury on the central south coast just 30 minutes from New Forest, GoSkydive is your closest tandem skydiving centre. If you are travelling to us from New Forest by car our centre is easily accessible by the A338. At GoSkydive, customers from New Forest and across the UK are taken through a customer journey that cannot be matched by any other skydiving centre in the UK.
We are the only centre that specialises in parachute jumps for first time skydivers. But what does that mean? It means that we only do tandem skydives – you won’t be competing for time and space with sports jumpers – the whole day is built around you and other first-time skydivers. We’ll consider your travel time and try and get you booked in later in the day, we’ll keep you updated with weather reports to, where possible, avoid unnecessary delays. There will be a briefing within 30 minutes of your arrival, you’ll receive full training in a simulated environment and there will be a whole team of people on hand to support you at all times.
The view from the skydive in Salisbury to the New Forest is visible on clear days. Looking south towards the coast shows the New Forest flanked by the Solent to its east and the Isle of Wight to its south.

Charity Skydives New Forest

If you’re thinking of a way to raise money for a good cause, tandem skydiving for charity is a great way to do it.

It is not only admirable that you are brave enough to jump out of a plane at 15,000 feet and that people give generously to your cause – but you also get to have the most amazing life-changing experience. Thousands of charity skydives are done by GoSkydive each year, and here’s one – Zoe Ball’s jump for MNDA.

In doing a tandem skydive for charity, you’ll be doing something life changing that will attract people to sponsor your cause. A staggering half a million pounds was raised for good causes by GoSkydive in 2015, more than any other skydiving company in the UK.

Call Gaby in the charity team 01722 442967 or email charities@goskydive.com for more info on our charity affiliations.

  • My husband and I jumped yesterday, it was absolutely incredible! Our instructors Matt and Rich were funny, calming and honestly we didn’t want it to end.
    The most fantastic experience in the world.
    Thank you both for making it so so amazing for us.

  • I jumped with my team to raise money for Charity on Friday. Although the weather was rather rubbish in the morning, which meant we were delayed by 5 hours, it was well worth the wait. The team also kept us in the loop and we had some yummy sausage sandwiches in the cafe. I hate that I cannot remember the name of my tandem guy but he was amazing. Although there were some cheeky wind up merchants on the flight, he was super supportive and made me feel at ease. He made the experience magical as we did some fun spins and even flew through a cloud and saw a rainbow! When we landed I got a huge hug and he said how proud he was of how I did. The first time I jumped I had a camera but it was nice this time around to go without as I could focus on the experience and not the camera if that makes sense. This was my second skydive (8 years apart) and I can officially say I have the bug! I am now desperate to save up to get my licence. I think my instructors comment of ‘Welcome to my office’ whilst thousands of feet in the air probably did it. I cannot recommend this enough. Don’t let your nerves put you off! It’s super safe and you are in the best hands. Thank you Go Skydive! I will likely be seeing you again soon…

  • Amazing experience, felt relaxed and safe throughout whole experience. Completed 15,000ft tandem jump with Henk as my instructor. It was awesome and he did a perfect job of showing me what to do and making sure I enjoyed the experience!!

  • I’m telling you if you want to do a Skydive 🪂 this is the place. Short trip from London but great atmosphere and the team there is amazing. Today was my 40th birthday and I wanted to do something different and it was worth every penny. My Instructor “Crazy Dutchman Henk” was so cool and a bunch of fun, my cameraman was absolutely bonkers but they mate a great team and the experience was EPIC! I did a 10,000ft jump but will definitely be going back to do the 15,000….BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!

  • An amazing day with GoSkyDive Salisbury, with a great team of trainers, instructors, tandem jumpers, filling all new jumpers with much needed confidence.
    A really professional but still fun approach throughout the day from the team made for a very enjoyable experience.
    Great little cafe on site to keep the teas/ coffee and snacks coming while you wait to be called for your flight and jump,

  • I had a 10,000ft skydive giving me a 30 second freefall. The jump was one of the best experiences of my life, I absolutely loved it. Even after the parachute opened the thrill continued with stunts and amazing views over Wiltshire. I am glad I chose GoSkydive for my first ever jump, the team are awesome, very well organised, efficient, and super friendly. I loved that they were all genuinely excited for me and vey chatty. My instructor was called Mias and he made me feel very safe and he completed the whole experience. I opted for a free-fall photographer package which I thought was a bit pricey at the time, however, the video was ready within 1hr after my jump with a link emailed to me for downloading. The quality of the video was superb. When I seen the work that was involved in capturing my experience, I understood why it was so expensive. This is a video that I will watch repeatedly reliving this amazing day.

  • An amazing experience! Very professional and stunning sky diving venue! All the staff were amazing at making you feel relaxed, reassured and prepared. One member of staff, Tom, was so kind and considerate it calmed my nerves from the get got. He made a concerted effort to greet me as soon as I arrived and strike up a conversation, which was so welcoming! I can’t praise these guys enough. Please check them out!

  • The best skydiving company in the UK. Training before the jump always makes the jump feel safer. Lovely, friendly and professional staff, also the food is amazing to top it all off.
