Skydiving from 12,000 feet in Queenstown is pure excitement, giving you up to 45 seconds of freefall at 200 km/h. With dramatic views of Lake Wakatipu, the Southern Alps, and vast open valleys, it’s one of the most breathtaking ways to see New Zealand. The rush of adrenaline blends perfectly with the beauty of Queenstown’s scenery.
Your adventure begins with a 15-minute scenic flight before the leap of a lifetime. After the thrill of freefall, a calm parachute glide gives you time to soak it all in. Whether you’re new to skydiving or chasing your next thrill, this 12,000ft jump is a must-do in Queenstown.

All you need is a smile and a sense of adventure for your Skydive Wanaka adventure! We’ll provide the jumpsuit, helmet, goggles, and gloves.
Please wear secure shoes that won’t fall off during freefall – flip-flops, jandals, or bare feet are not allowed. In winter, wear warm clothes, preferably in layers rather than bulky clothing.
For safety reasons, you must wear closed-in shoes.
Yes, you can wear either glasses or contact lenses. We’ll provide you with goggles that fit over your eyewear so you can fully enjoy the stunning views during your skydive.
We don't skydive if the weather conditions are unfavourable—it's as simple as that. If the weather prevents you from jumping at your scheduled time, we can reschedule for later in the day or the following day, depending on the weather and your availability. It's always helpful to be flexible with your booking, just in case conditions change. Fortunately, Wānaka typically enjoys great weather, which is one of the many reasons it's a fantastic spot for skydiving!
All individuals weighing 95kg or more are subject to a Tandem Master assessment at the drop zone.
The minimum weight requirement is 40kg/88lb and the minimum height is 1.2m/47.2 inches. All passengers must fit securely into the harness.
If you are unsure whether an existing medical condition or injury will affect your ability to skydive, please consult your doctor for advice. We are unable to offer medical guidance.
