Full description
Begin your adventure by meeting your expert skydiving instructor, receive a safety briefing and prepare your skydiving equipment. Tandem skydiving is the fastest, easiest and safest way for an inexperienced skydiver to enjoy the thrill of jumping out of a plane, free falling through the sky before floating safely to the ground under a parachute. Jump from flight level of 13,000 feet, 16,500 feet or 20,000 feet depending on which option you choose, and free-fall for a thrilling 45, 65 or 85 seconds before the instructor pulls the parachute. Enjoy the incredible views as you leisurely float back down to the landing which is approximately 300 feet above sea level.

Did the 20,000 feet skydive & it was absolutely incredible! The team were absolutely lovely & kept us up to date throughout the experience with delays & checks they were doing. They were all chatty and made sure everyone was feeling comfortable too Couldn't have asked for better & the views are absolutely second to none - if your going to Queenstown I would definitely recommend!! :)

My wife and I took up our 16 and 15 year old kids, the experience was easily 11 out of 10. This outfit is professional, safe, and fun. They made our experience relaxed and we had an absolute blast in this beautiful part of the world. Great team, super professional and safe, very highly recommended for anyone.

It was a wonderful experience. The staff at the centre and the drop zone as well as my skydive instructor were all fantastic and personal. The views were amazing, especially at around 8 plus in the morning when the clouds were reflecting an orange glow above the glaciers. Definitely recommend this.
