If you’re planning an unforgettable adventure with your friends, family, or workmates, there’s nothing quite like group skydiving in Wollongong. BIGWAVE Skydive has become the go-to choice for people looking for the best group skydive experience, offering not only unbeatable views of the Illawarra coastline but also personalised service that larger operators simply can’t match.
Many people wonder what a Wollongong group skydive is really like and whether everyone gets to jump together. In this blog, we’ll break down exactly what happens, explain how our group discounts work, and show you why the experience is just as thrilling—and even more memorable—than you might expect.
How Group Skydiving Works
When you book a skydiving in a group experience, it’s natural to imagine everyone jumping out of the plane at the exact same time. The reality is a little different, and it actually makes the experience even better.
At BIGWAVE Skydive, each person in your group is paired with their own professional tandem instructor. Because safety is the number one priority, each jump happens individually. You’ll exit the plane one after another, rather than all at once. This setup ensures every member of your group gets a safe, personalised experience while still sharing the thrill of skydiving on the same day.
Individual Footage for Everyone
A highlight of group skydiving is capturing the moment forever. At BIGWAVE Skydive, each person has the option to add a professional video package. This means that even if you’re in the same plane, you’ll each have your own dedicated footage showing your freefall, parachute ride, and landing.
But that’s not all. Unlike other companies, we offer something special: if everyone in your group adds a video package, we’ll create a group video compilation for free. This includes all your individual highlights plus the shared excitement of the day, giving you an amazing keepsake to relive together.
Why the Ground Experience is Just as Fun
Some people worry they might miss out by not jumping at the same time as their friends. In reality, the experience continues long after you’ve touched down. After your skydive, you get to watch your friends float down under their parachutes and cheer them on from the landing area.
Many of our guests say this is the best part of the day: seeing the sheer joy on their friends’ faces as they come in to land. You can even film their parachute descent on your phone, capturing angles and reactions that aren’t possible from the sky. This adds another dimension to your group skydive, making it a shared adventure that lasts from take-off to the final landing.
Group Discounts at BIGWAVE Skydive
At BIGWAVE Skydive, we love helping groups make the most of their day. That’s why we offer generous group discounts to make the experience more affordable when you book together. Whether it’s a birthday, team bonding event, hens or bucks party, or just a group of friends chasing the ultimate thrill, you’ll get the best value skydiving package right.
Large Operators often Split Groups
Not all skydiving companies treat groups the same way. Larger operators often split groups across different flights for operational reasons, such as:
- Aircraft capacity on the day
- Availability of tandem instructors
- Weight distribution requirements
- Consolidating bookings to optimise aircraft loads
This means you might book together but end up skydiving on different plane loads.
At BIGWAVE Skydive, we’re committed to giving you a more personalised and consistent group experience. As an owner-operated business, we don’t run like a mass skydive facility. Instead, we pride ourselves on flexibility and care, ensuring your group enjoys the adventure together whenever possible. You won’t feel like just another number—your group will be looked after from start to finish.
The Perfect Location for a Wollongong Group Skydive
Our drop zone is one of the most spectacular in Australia. You’ll soar over the breathtaking Illawarra coastline, taking in views of the turquoise ocean, rolling escarpment, and the iconic Bushrangers Bay. When you land, you’ll reunite with your group at the same location where you checked in, making it easy to celebrate together afterwards.
With unbeatable scenery and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, BIGWAVE Skydive is the ultimate destination for skydiving in a group.
