Thrill and peace in a single jump

Whether you are an adrenaline junkie or someone looking to do something fun, this tandem skydiving experience is for you. You will get your safety briefing from your instructor and strap on your safety equipment before heading to the plane. Once in, your plane will climb up to the desired altitude while you watch the sweeping vistas of the 144 islands that form New Zealand’s “Winterless North” below.

Feel on top of the world

With your instructor strapped to you, let go of all your fear as you take that plunge and catapult at a dizzying 200 km/hr. Feel a sense of thrill and peace at the same time as you free fall for 45 seconds before your parachute opens. Enjoy a relaxing flight with an unobstructed view of the golden beaches, rugged coastlines, the secluded bays, and the clear blue waters, creating a beautiful memory for the rest of your life.
