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.

  • Was everything I hoped and more. Falling from 15000ft is simply the most awesome experience and one that everyone should try. Thanks to Henk for making the jump with me and letting me fly! The whole experience was so well organised.

  • 57, 53 and 31 year olds all did tandem jumps 7000 feet. Amazing experience. Professional, kind and patient staff. Even though the weather dictates the jumps, the team there kept us informed at all times. A number of times once you are kitted up, you are checked and double checked. This makes you feel very safe and reassured. The fun relaxed and totally safe tandem jumpers were perfect companions for jumping. Over one of the best days ever. I’m still buzzing about it the next day. Throughly recommended this high class company.

  • We had the best time doing our skydives for Southampton Hospitals Charity last week. I can’t explain how incredible it was. The whole team were amazing, special thank you to my instructor Mark who kept me calm and made the experience the best ever and to Fabian, my very own photographer who captured memories I will treasure forever! If I could do it all over again tomorrow I would!

  • The team were very professional and everything was well organised. The training was given in a good way but with some humour to calm the nerves. Family and friends were welcome to go. Every stage was explained well. It was a very good experience

  • Did a 15,000 jump today with Greg Russell as my instructor and he was amazing! Couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Whatever they’re paying him isn’t enough, I’ll be back soon!
