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.

  • 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!!

  • Absolutely incredible experience, one I feel absolutely honoured to have had. Myself and my partner did it together as a belated birthday present after various postponements for 1.5 years which Josh, the main person I had email contact with, was very accommodating. I was nervous for weeks in the lead up to it but the centre staff and my instructor, Alex, were absolutely fantastic. An experience of a lifetime, I want to go back for more!

  • GoSkydive in Salisbury is an incredible place, the whole team were so welcoming and the nicest people. I was quite nervous but I felt entirely safe and settled considering the fact I was jumping out of a plane. Had the most epic time with my instructor Alex today, he made me laugh and made me forget the nerves! 15,000ft checked off and I will be coming again as soon as I can.

  • What an amazing day, from the moment we got the staff were fantastic, they were really friendly and very helpful. It was a well oiled machine I have to say. I want to say a massive thank you my instructor Richard who was an absolute legend on the day and helped me overcome my fears! I’ve now ticketed off a sky dive from my bucket list and if you want a place to go and do your first skydive then I recommend GoSkydive in Salisbury. Well done and thank you for making my day so special.

  • 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!

  • 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…

  • We booked for our daughters sixteenth birthday. She loved it! Rich her jump instructor was brilliant, gave her the confidence to really enjoy the experience. The centre it’s self is well organised, lots of email etc to keep you informed. Thanks to all, especially Rich. Needless to say our Sophie is now walking around with a very big smile and has now informed she wants to get her jump license!!!

  • There are no words to really capture how it was. Sensational, exceptional, exhilarating are just a few words that spring to mind. The whole set up on the day is brilliant, from start to finish. The staff are without exception awesome, all dedicated to making the day memorable. The communication throughout the event was spot on. The facilities were superb. The instructors are AMAZING, especially my Alex! Patient, encouraging and informative about everything we were doing/seeing. If you have half an inkling to do a skydive, DO IT with Goskydive in Salisbury. You won’t regret it!
