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 Skydiver and instructor in freefall

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.

Reviews

Tens of thousands of people have chosen to jump with us. Here's some of what they say!

  • 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.

  • Sensational service from start to finish. The check in, induction, kitting up, instructor, camera man – everybody – was so supportive and friendly. The experience was terrifying, but the staff could not have done anymore to get me through the day! I felt completely safe, and despite how many jumpers they had on the day I felt the attention to detail and service was so personalised for each one of us. I highly recommend using this company if you are considering a sky dive, especially if you are a first timer. My sincere heartfelt thanks to the wonderful team, especially Mias, my instructor – I was certainly not an easy person to have due to my nerves!

  • This was such an amazing experience I don’t really know where to start! I was quite anxious before the jump, but all the staff are very professional and relaxed they made me feel safe, yet still excited about the impending Skydive! The atmosphere was really happy and fun, especially in the plane on the way up, which really helped with the nerves. My instructor, Fab was great – very reassuring and friendly, and the enthusiasm of the whole team was infectious. I felt really well looked after and I’m sure this experience has really helped with my confidence as they made me feel like a hero! I’m so glad I did this!

  • Mine was a total surprise, I found out what I’ll be doing half an hour before the jump. Had a huge adrenaline rush, who wouldn’t be a bit nervous? 1st time.. and they took care of everything… So my message to anyone wanting to do this.. Relax and enjoy! Great team, great instructor, really organized, very clear instructions, good facilities on site. AWESOME EXPERIENCE!!! Absolutely recommend GoSkyDive.

  • 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!
