Unreal - Matt my instructor was so lovely and great at calming my nerves. Only wish was that we landed on the beach!

Absolutely amazing experience. My instructor Greg was great craic and helped settle my nerves. Would highly recommend and if doing it, do the 15000ft over the 8000ft the nerves are all the one but the views and time to take it in is much better at the higher jump.

Know before you go

  • The minimum age to participate is 16 years. If you are under 18 years of age a written parental or guardian consent is required
  • Risk Warning: Your participation in parachuting activities is inherently dangerous and may involve risks. These risks include, but are not limited to those arising from prevailing conditions such as weather or health conditions you may have. Despite careful packing, the parachute may open abruptly or not open correctly which may result in injury. Unintended incidents may occur during the aircraft flight, descent or on landing.
  • Parachuting is done at the parachutists' own risk. Any person parachuting, training to parachute, flying in any aircraft being used for parachuting or participating in any activity carried out by Skydive Australia may only do so on the distinct understanding that they do so entirely at their own risk.
