I felt like a bird

Skydiving at Lake Taupo is just great!! Do you know how does it feel? – just like throwing yourself out of plane! I don’t think I have ever frightened like this when I saw the first person jumping out of the plane. Next was my go…

I was so excited to do something new, something adventurous on this tour and I signed up for skydiving without thinking twice. I went there, thinking why I am doing this? Why I am putting my life at risk? I guess I was too excited to feel that.

The instructor started pushing me towards an open door – 16000 feet above the water. Then he told me to bend forward, put my feet in the air, out of the plane and then look up… and next thing I knew was I was falling … For some time it was impossible to realize what was going on... all I can say is I felt like a bird..  That feeling was incredible, the moment I dive through the plane and then floating in the air... I can’t even describe in words how it feels...

The air was hitting me so badly, and then my parachute opened and in few minutes I landed safely on the ground. Even after landing on ground, I was feeling like floating in the sky.

I will say, everyone must try this once in their life. This is the place where you will have the most spectacular view when you jump out of the plane and can feel the air hitting on your face as you look over the landscape and see the plane moving back from view.

You can actually witness breathtaking views while falling from the plane. The views you take while falling from the plane are totally different views than you would stand on the ground.

Skydiving at Taupo is full of thrill. To go there with your friends and experience the skydiving is a joy you have waited for all your life. Taking view of panoramic sceneries of New Zealand, while falling down from the plane until landing safely on the ground; is really an amazing experience.
