Nothing compares to the excitement of a 15,000ft tandem skydive in Queenstown, where freefall lasts up to 60 seconds at speeds of 200 km/h. The jump offers unbeatable views of the Southern Alps, Lake Wakatipu, and the dramatic landscapes that make Queenstown famous. With scenery this spectacular, every second of the descent feels unforgettable.
Before you leap, you’ll take a scenic 15-minute flight that sets the stage for the adventure of a lifetime. After the rush of freefall, enjoy a smooth 3–4 minute glide under the parachute, giving you time to soak up the views. Whether it’s your first jump or one of many, skydiving here is the ultimate Queenstown experience.

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.

Fortunately, Wānaka typically enjoys great weather, which is one of the many reasons it's a fantastic spot for skydiving!
