Sky's the limit
Get ready for a heart-thumping skydiving experience in the beautiful Wanaka region, brimming with lakes and mountains. Begin your adventure with a critical safety check before you board a plane that ascends to your chosen height. As you reach an altitude high enough to feel like the world is at your feet, it's time for the main event – the jump. Expect butterflies jumping within you as you freefall for up to 60 seconds depending on your altitude, reaching exhilarating speeds of up to 200 km/h. Despite the rush, remember to open your eyes and take in the spectacular panorama of Mt. Cook, Mt. Aspiring, the Southern Alps, up to 6 lakes, and the Clutha River.
Glide to Earth's embrace
Following the freefall, your instructor will release your parachute, gradually slowing down the pace. Here, take a pause to breathe and admire the scenery as you glide towards the ground. As you raise your legs, the ground steadily approaches until you land safely on Earth. This experience offers 3 ticket options, each providing a different level of thrill and duration of freefall. Opt for the 9,000ft skydive if you prefer a shorter freefall of 25 seconds. For a longer adrenaline rush, the 12,000ft and 15,000ft skydives offer 45 and 60 seconds of freefall respectively.
