Experience the 12,000ft Tandem Skydive in Queenstown

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.
