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.

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 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!

  • Massive thanks to the whole team at Go Skydive, it’s an experience of a lifetime. Training puts you at ease and after they show you how the parachute opens (and how many backups it has), your last fears or doubts are gone.
    Great sense of camaraderie between the instructors, you really do feel that you are in safe hands. Huge shout to Greg for making my jump so easy. I really enjoyed those spins! Can’t wait to do it again!

  • What an amazing experience. Go Skydive 🪂 was absolutely phenomenal from the moment you arrive. What a professional outfit. I would have absolutely no reservations in promoting this to anyone.

  • 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…

  • The experience was amazing, made even better by the first class instructors. If you like to push yourself outside your comfort zone this is a must!

  • 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 experience, words can’t fully explain. I’m so so pleased I did it! I’d really recommend. Rich was fantastic and I felt safe couldn’t have asked for a better instructor to jump for the first time with! Thank you! And can’t wait to go again!!

  • GoSkydive in Salisbury is absolutely fantastic! I did my first tandem skydive yesterday afternoon and I could not have been more impressed with the team. They were all professional, very friendly, organised and efficient and the whole experience is planned perfectly. My Instructor, George, was quite simply amazing! A truly lovely man who really took the time to calm my nerves and to make sure I had an awesome time. Thank you, George!

  • 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.

  • Brilliant experience, the whole experience was very well organised. Henk (my instructor) was fantastic. All staff I encountered were very professional yet very fun. On the whole it was the best day out and I would recommend a skydive to anyone, one more ticked off my bucket list.
