🇳🇿My first skydive | 60 seconds of free fall over Lake Taupo 🪂

I tried skydiving for the first time in Taupō. It was both nerve-wracking and thrilling! The reception staff were incredibly welcoming from the start, calming my nerves and creating a truly exciting atmosphere. 📍 Taupo Tandem Skydiving Address: Anzac Memorial Drive, Wharewaka, Taupō 3378 New Zealand Hours: 8am-7pm I chose an altitude of 15,000 feet. As we climbed higher and higher, the scenery outside the window became increasingly breathtaking. As soon as the instructor put the oxygen mask on me, that feeling of "Wow, it's time!" hit me instantly. As the hatch opened, the wind rushed in. There was no time to think, I just jumped! For the first ten seconds, my mind went blank. I couldn't tell which was which. The moment the wind hit my face, my heart was racing, yet it was incredibly exhilarating. About a minute of free fall, until I finally let go, was a truly unforgettable 60 seconds! After landing, all I could say was: Wow! ✨ Tips: The air is very dry and cold at high altitudes, so remember to apply lip balm before departure, otherwise your mouth will feel uncomfortable. #SeptemberDestinations2025 #enjoy #trip #travel #taupoattractions #NewZealand #rywithyou #NorthIslandAttractions #taupoTravel #🇳🇿
