Experience the Ultimate Freefall Over Aoraki

Begin your adventure atop Aoraki/Mt Cook with a scenic 10-minute flight, building anticipation as you gain altitude above the Southern Alps. Then experience an exhilarating 30-second freefall, followed by a calm 3–5 minute descent under parachute, floating over glacial lakes, mountains, and panoramic wilderness. You’ll be securely harnessed to a professional Tandem Master who handles all technical details—from boarding to landing—ensuring comfort, safety, and freedom to savour the moment.

With nearly 100,000 thrill-seekers already ecstatic over this experience, this is widely regarded as one of the most spectacular and rewarding ways to witness New Zealand’s scenery from the sky. Optional photo and video packages let you relive the jump forever, with footage capturing your freefall and parachute descent against the backdrop of Aoraki’s grandeur.
