Your Experience

Preparation to Thrill

The journey starts with a pickup from Queenstown and includes a detailed safety briefing by your experienced tandem instructor. You'll then board the aircraft, ascending up to 15,000ft over Lake Wakatipu in roughly 15-20 minutes, where you can enjoy stunning views of mountains and lakes. Now prepared for an adrenaline-packed experience! Brace yourself as you exit the plane door with your Jumpmaster at a secure harness point, freefalling at speeds up to 200 km/h for exhilarating durations between 25 to 60 seconds.

Tranquil Descent

Your parachute will open shortly after, allowing for a peaceful descent over Lake Wakatipu and its mountainous backdrop. The glide lasts approximately 4-5 minutes, offering spectacular views from altitudes of either 9,000ft, 12,000ft, or 15,000ft — each providing varying freefall times ranging from 25 seconds to one full minute. To capture this thrilling moment in time, consider the optional premium skydive photo and video package available at check-in for a memorable memento of your exhilarating adventure above New Zealand's stunning landscapes.
