Tandem Skydive in Queenstown – 9,000ft, 12,000ft or 15,000ft

Queenstown is often called the adventure capital of New Zealand, and there’s no better way to experience that title than with a tandem skydive. Choose your jump height – 9,000ft, 12,000ft or 15,000ft – and prepare for an unforgettable rush as you leap from the plane and feel the exhilaration of freefall.

The scenery here is world-class. From above, you’ll have unbeatable views over Lake Wakatipu, the Remarkables mountain range, and even glimpses toward Fiordland on a clear day. Your tandem instructor will be with you every step of the way, making sure you’re secure, informed and ready to enjoy the ride.

Why Skydiving in Queenstown is So Popular

Queenstown skydives are among the most scenic in the world. With dramatic alpine peaks and deep glacial lakes below, this is a backdrop like no other. The professional team on the ground ensures everything runs smoothly – from gear check to high-quality photos and videos of your jump.

Whether you’re a seasoned adrenaline junkie or simply after a once-in-a-lifetime experience, Queenstown’s skydive ticks all the boxes. After landing, celebrate with a lakeside drink or explore more of Queenstown’s thrilling activities like jet boating, canyon swinging, or a gondola ride to the Skyline lookout.
