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.

Reviews

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

  • 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 accomodating. 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!

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • It was my first time skydiving and the whole experience was amazing from start to finish all the staff were really good made me feel welcome and helpful. The instructor (Henk) was so good can’t thank him enough and it was great to share my experience with him what a top guy. All the facilities are excellent also the camera packages are well worth getting, I’ll definitely jump again, if I could give more than 5 stars I would. Thank you to everyone at Go Skydive Salisbury.

  • 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.
