Soar Over Aoraki in Ultimate Alpine Skydiving

Feel your heart soar as you ascend above New Zealand’s highest peak, Aoraki/Mount Cook, on a 10-minute scenic flight before leaping into an exhilarating 45-second freefall. Experience the silence and speed before your parachute opens, offering a peaceful 3–5 minute descent with sweeping views of glaciers, lakes, and rugged alpine terrain. Every jump is conducted by a seasoned Tandem Master who prioritises your safety, ensuring a seamless transition from takeoff to landing.

With nearly 100,000 successful jumps completed in this renowned drop zone, the tandem skydive at 13,000 ft is as much about trust as it is about thrill. Optional onboard photo and video packages let you capture every moment—from the gasp of freefall to the serenity of descent—so you can relive the most exhilarating view of your life.
