Telethon Adventurers

By Glenn Stutt • Oct 29, 2013

Well they came, they conquered and what an amazing weekend it was! On the first weekend of October, Southern Skydivers was lucky enough to host the wonderful Telethon adventurers and helped them to reach yet another successful goal in the fight against child cancer!

These courageous fundraisers put their fears and anxieties aside and did their ‘jump for a cure’ raising over $60,000 for the cause! Southern Skydivers happily contributed by donating $70.00 for every jumper!

We have fond memories to take away and we know that our Telethon Adventurers had the time of their lives. You guys are fantastic! We look forward to seeing you again next year and keep up the good work!

Telethon Adventurers was first established in 2010, by Rick Parish and Peter Wilson. The Adventurers first fundraising venture in 2010 raised over $900,000, which was used to purchase a 3D molecular imaging machine the first of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere. Today the Adventurers have the full support of the Telethon Institute and Princess Margaret Hospital and have officially been renamed the Telethon Adventurers.

What can I say, bucket list checked! Finally accomplished what I wanted to do for a long time. The process from start to end was flawless. My tandem ("Kawei" sorry if I got your name wrong) was also professional and made my jump comfortable. Highly recommend this place as the view was amazing and to make it even better the weather was perfect!

Ok. Technically not review for skydive as weather was bad.

Rough trip for me as Qantas flight was cancelled, delayed, changed then weather was bad for both days when i finally managed to arrived perth.

Emily was very helpful and prompt in updating and responding. Patient and help me in logistic, cancel, rebook my ferry to and back rottnest. Helped to update klook as asking refund from klook was unsuccessfulas it's less than 24hr when qantas cancel delay flight l for 17 hours.

Superb customer services. Though unfortunately unable to dive. Will come back to try again to tick off my Bucket list.

Thank you Emily. Double thumbs up + 10 out of 5 stars feedback.

This experience was so epic! The staff were all very professional and kind, and made everyone feel comfortable and safe. I wasn't even scared in the plane, just excited! The free fall was absolutely out of this world!
The views were stunning, so lucky to call WA home. It all happened so quick it took me a minute to get my bearings after landing, but then it was straight to the pub for a beer, and I recieved my photos from the package I purchased so quickly that I was able to enjoy looking at them and having a laugh at all the facial expressions whilst drinking my beer.
It's been a couple of days now and I'm still super excited I did this. I'll be back in Nov 2026 for round 2 (Rotto accomodation already booked) 😎
You guys are awesome!!

Absolutely loved my time at Geronimo Rottnest ! BIG shoutout to Caue for making this experience one of the best of my life. His professionalism and attitude significantly impacted my jump .
Thanks to the whole team for an unforgettable birthday celebration ❤️🎉🪂

Daniel Rose

Had a blast skydiving with Skydive Geronimo. The instructions were clear and I did not feel unsafe at any point. The feeling of gliding over Rottnest Island in perfect weather is unforgettable - well worth a shot if you're visiting!

Ng Junrong

I can't say enough positive things about Sky Geronimo as I had such an incredible time with them on Rottnest Island for 15,000ft Skydive on Tuesday.

From the start to finish, I was completely impressed with their professionalism and customer service. Especially the staff were equally attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. I can’t remember everyone’s names, but a special shoutout to Thiago, you are absolutely top-notch! From the first moment we paired up, Thiago made sure I felt at ease, and kept me informed throughout the process since everything happened so quickly.

The jump itself was honestly a pure pleasure as it cleared up your mind just within a second. The view above Rottnest Island is absolutely breathtaking and stunning with its white sandy beaches and turquoise water, especially I was lucky enough to see whales on that day!

I highly recommend Sky Geronimo to anyone would like to have adventurously experience that you will never forget. The team is knowledgeable, friendly, and always goes the extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction!

Dionne Hoekstra

Thank you to my skydiving instructor.
Even though my English isn’t very good,
you patiently communicated with me,
showed me the beautiful scenery,
and helped me record such a wonderful birthday gift.
I really appreciate all your effort—thank you so much!

洪琦絢

Really good experience, my only issue with it is once you’ve landed it feels very rushed and go go go, I understand you need to get the instructors back asap but it felt rushed right at the end, besides that awesome experience and glad to do it

Yeah Nah

Unforgettable Experience with Instructor Jimmy!
I had the absolute thrill of a lifetime skydiving with Geronimo Rottnest on September 4th, 2025, and I can’t speak highly enough of the entire experience — especially my instructor, Jimmy.

From the moment we met, Jimmy’s professionalism, calm demeanor, and great sense of humor instantly put me at ease. As a first-time jumper, I was definitely nervous, but Jimmy explained everything clearly and confidently, making me feel safe and excited for the adventure ahead.

The jump itself? Absolutely unreal. Freefalling over the stunning turquoise waters of Rottnest Island is something I’ll never forget and having Jimmy there guiding every moment made it even better. His energy was contagious, and his passion for what he does really shines through. He even captured some incredible footage that I’ll treasure forever.

If you're thinking about skydiving — do it. And if you’re lucky enough to get paired with Jimmy, you’re in for an epic experience. Thank you, Jimmy and the whole Geronimo team, for making this such an unforgettable day!

Cynthia Ling Ke Lie

Absolutely unreal experience. The whole experience was flawless, even with some unpredictable weather potentially throwing a spanner in the works.

The team communicated as much as they could to keep me up to date, were super friendly and accommodating.

My dive lead was super friendly and great with the camera, made the whole experience unforgettable.

Most of all the view is out of this world.

Can't recommend this highly enough.

Russell McIntyre

I had the most incredible experience skydiving at Rottnest Island with Skydive Geronimo this past weekend! From start to finish, the whole team was welcoming, thoughtful, and professional, which immediately put me at ease. They explained everything clearly, kept the atmosphere fun and relaxed, and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the process.

The jump itself was pure bliss — the breathtaking view over Rottnest Island, with its turquoise waters and white sandy beaches, made it truly unforgettable. Freefalling was exhilarating, and once the parachute opened, I could just soak in the beauty of the island from above.

This was an absolute bucket-list moment, and I couldn’t have asked for a better team to share it with. Huge thanks to everyone at Skydive Geronimo for making this such a special experience. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for an adventure you’ll never forget!

What an amazing day. Booked the 15000 for my son’s 17th birthday and he absolutely loved it!!! He had the biggest smile ever. All the staff helpful and friendly. Big shout out to Darcy, you helped make the experience wonderful. Definitely recommend.

It was a great experience with a fabulous tandem instructor who made me feel very comfortable throughout the whole experience. Great weather, great pics from the package and a very smooth experience from being suited up to landing back on the beach.

The only downside was that they were running behind by around 40 minutes which was not communicated until our arrival. Being on Rottnest, we used the bus to get out there and it made it difficult for my crew and I to then get back to town to amuse ourselves and grab some lunch as we had to rely on a bus schedule which didn't work. Instead we ended up waiting at the airport for the duration which wasn't enjoyable. Perhaps a text message to say they were running behind and to not arrive until such and such time would have been better.

Claire Earle

Such a great experience, didn’t have time to get nervous and some of the photos were so funny seeing my cheeks flapping about. So glad I got the package in the end!

Dion Chia

Amazing experience with them in a stunning location, Rottnest island ! Unique feeling, so grateful! Thanks to all the Geronimo staff and my tandem instructor Vinny..was my first jump ever but definitely I’ll jump again in the future! I highly recommend this, have the chance to see the island from the top is priceless!!!! 😍

andrea scalet

My diving instructor, Darcy was amazing and made the whole experience really fun and easy! We did 10,000 feet for our first jump and it was incredible would definitely go back and do 15,000 feet!

Kayleigh Maria

Great experience with Skydive Geronimo. Easy booking and great communications. We had to postpone due to bad weather, and the process to rebook was easy. They make it their effort to give you a good experience. Staff and Instructors were friendly and made you feel at ease. It was over too soon. I'd highly recommend jumping with Skydive Geronimo. You won't soil yourself.

K Yed

Had an amazing day , best thing I’ve experienced felt 100% safe right throughout .
Thanks Glen👌🏻

Danny

I booked this for my fiancé as a gift and I had nothing but great experiences with Skydive Geronimo we had to move the jump once due to weather and the team did that with no hassles at all and then on the day I was all smooth moving my partner was paired with a fantastic Brazilian guy who I honestly say made the jump more enjoyable for my partner Zach he said the jump was fabulous he personally loved the free fall the most and me the team looked after me and took me to the landing zone where I got to see Zach land was fantastic I’m beyond scared of hights but if I ever bring myself to do this jump hands down I’ll be going through Skydive Geronimo you guys rock

michelle frossos

Thanks to Geronimo team, I chose 14th July to go but they recommend on 10th would be good weather, and my instructor had a cool beard and easygoing, let me control the parachute, also see a rainbow, how lucky am I. My instructor truly is the best one in the world 🌎 ❤️ 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you very much for everything to him !! I had fun and enjoyed the time !

王尹君

Thanks a ton! I had an absolute blast and so many thrilling moments! The coaches were awesome, and the reception staff were super helpful! Everyone was professional and prioritized safety. I’ll definitely be back!

KM Fong

Still can’t believe I just did something I’ve been dreaming of!!! The jump was very thrilling (besides the goggle mishap 😅😅) The process was very smooth from the start, the instructor is a great and really helped guide me through every step of the jump. The beauty of Rottnest Island from 10k feet up was breathtaking! Hopefully I can come back and go higher with 15k! Thank you thank you!!

Novi F

Had the best time today sky diving these guys are so good at what they do make you feel safe and it’s so much fun my instructor Jimmy was amazing thanks Geronimo and the crew for the best day highly recommend this

Sharyn Garland

They are always very helpful in providing alternatives and suggestions, bring out the best when weather forecast not looking good. The tandem skydiving here are professional and clear instructions are given all along the way. Last thing, the view here is stunning and unbelievable.

盛耿捷

I did my first ever skydive a day before my birthday this March 2025 at Skydive Geronimo on Rottnest Island! Alone without any friend. Can you believe I wasn’t even nervous? Everyone there was SO friendly and made me feel totally chill. The instructors Vinny? Absolute pros! Jumping out from 15,000 feet was insane in the best way! Honestly, skydiving at Rottnest with Geronimo was one of the best experiences of my life. If skydiving’s on your bucket list—this is your sign. Go do it! 🙌I highly recommend Skydive Geronimo!

Vava Ice

Great, great,…..

Skydiving with this company is a nice experience! All the staff were very nice, skilled and helpful. This made the experience amazing! Thanks team Geromino for this :-)

Stopped by on a whim and ended up skydiving – despite having a massive fear of heights! It was insanely fun and totally worth it.

Huge shoutout to Jimmy – absolute legend and the chillest instructor ever. Made the whole thing feel safe and hilarious.

100% would do it again (once my legs stop shaking). Thanks for the epic ride!

Celine Linnea

It was a unique experience for sure. Huge thanks to my tandem partner Darcy who was super cool and rather attentive the whole time. I said 50/50 when Darcy asked me if I’d do it again. Now that I look at the amazing photos he’s taken I feel like doing it again in the future. Also special thanks to Emily who was very thoughtful with every step of the way before the jump. Thanks heaps Skydive Geronimo team…

Kadir Taşdemir

Today I jumped with Dusty. I’m not sure that was his name 😅 the guy from New Zealand. An incredible experience, but it wouldn’t have been the same without him. A great professional! You still have to jump in Spain, my friend

Mariano Ciriello

High recommend Skydive Geronimo,especially thanks Darcy.
It’s my first time to try skydiving,feel excited and a bit nervous,Darcy is so kind and try to let me do some pose during the process,and the views got rid of my anxiety.
Definitely an awesome experience in Rottnest Island.

Huang Hsinya

Did my first skydive on Monday, it was incredible!! I would definitely recommend. The views were amazing!! Vinny was my instructor and he was so kind and reassuring and made my experience even more enjoyable! The whole team at Skydive Geronimo were brilliant to deal with and good fun on the day! Would recommend to anyone
Thank you Vinny and the team at Skydive Geronimo Rottnest

Aisling Moore

Awesome!

Yi Cen Chen

An incredible and unforgettable experience with Skydive Geronimo on Rottnest island. The view of the island midair was breathtaking. My instructor, Sam, whom I jumped with was reassuring and friendly/funny, he accepted to backflip us while jumping off the airplane which I had requested. Thank you Sam and the team it was a wholesome experience 🙏🏻🫶🏻

I have used this company twice for both my skydiving experiences and I would definitely use them again!
All the staff were so professional but easy going, made myself, my husband and my sister super comfortable. We felt right at ease even though we were jumping 10,000ft 😂

Nicole Robinson

Unforgettable 15,000 ft Skydive with Skydive Geronimo!What an absolutely incredible experience! I did the 15,000 ft tandem skydive with Instructor Sam from New Zealand, and I couldn’t have asked for a better guide. With over 9 years of skydiving experience and doing up to 12 jumps a day, 6 days a week, Sam’s confidence and calm energy immediately put me at ease.
The entire experience — from the takeoff to the freefall and smooth landing — was flawless. Sam captured amazing video and photos, making it even more unforgettable. Thank you so much, Sam — I truly enjoyed every second of the skydive because of your professionalism and passion!
If you’re thinking about skydiving, I highly recommend doing it at Rottnest Island. Not only is the island absolutely stunning from above, but the quokkas are the cutest little creatures you’ll ever meet. One day is definitely not enough here — take your time to explore! And don’t forget — take more photos from the top! You’ll want to remember every breathtaking moment.
Thanks again, Skydive Geronimo! I’ll be back!

WiWi Lee

Had an amazing time doing my first skydive with these guys. The team were super friendly and very efficient with minimal waiting around between check in and getting up in the air. I got lucky with the weather and the view on the flight up was worth the money alone. The skydive was epic with such a long free fall! Would definitely do it again especially with these guys!

Brianna Smith

First time sky diving and I want to do it over and over again! Everyone was so inviting and reassuring, while also cracking jokes along the way to make the lead up enjoyable. Best place for a first sky dive, everyone seems professional and views are spectacular. Definitely will have to do it again. People who were watching on the beach said their experience was also made enjoyable as well!

Chelsie Armitage

Breathtaking! Like both literally and not 🤣

Tavernolina Ontheroad

Amazing skydiving experience! The Skydive Geronimo team is professional and super friendly. My Instructor Darcy was amazing and caring—he explained the process clearly from the beginning, and even reminded me it might be cold up there. Felt safe and had a great time. Highly recommend!

Jiaen Leong

amazing experience ... thanks geronimo

Dwi Lesmana

Me and my friend decided to take the jump on our last few days in Australia.
The instructors were brilliant and kept our nerves (nearly) at bay and kept us safe.
I would say it’s the highlight of my trip but honestly was the highlight of my 2025. I’m still on a high from it and it was two weeks ago!
Two other mates spectated and the team on the ground took them to the beach where we landed and kept them up to date on all our whereabouts- they said they really enjoyed this!
The photos and video are hilarious and special.
Huge thanks Sam and apologies for exploding your eardrums! 🤙🏻

Imogen Potter

It was an amazing experience. The view is fantastic and I felt very safe with my instructor. Thank you so much!

It was my first time skydiving and Team Geronimo did a fantastic job. Everything went so smoothly..take off, pre-briefing, wearing the gear, photo video session, landing. Wow! Wanted to get out of the comfort zone. But I was more comfortable and enjoyed the magnificent scenery of Rotto. Keep up the good work!!
