Choose 10,000ft for a shorter first-time skydive, 13,000ft for more free fall, or 16,500ft for the longest free fall and highest altitude. The higher you go, the more time you spend in free fall.
The maximum weight is 100kg, although guests up to 105kg may sometimes be accepted at the Tandem Master’s discretion. Guests under 18 need parent or guardian consent, and children under 12 are assessed individually.
Free fall depends on your selected height. The 10,000ft skydive includes up to 30 seconds, the 13,000ft skydive includes up to 45 seconds, and the 16,500ft skydive includes up to 70 seconds.
On a clear day, you can see Aoraki Mt Cook, Lake Pukaki, Lake Tekapo, Lake Ōhau and the Southern Alps. The scenic flight and parachute descent are a major part of the experience.
Please allow around 2 to 3 hours from arrival at the Pukaki airport base. This includes check-in, briefing, weather checks, flight time, the skydive and landing.
