Take the Leap: Experience 16,000 Ft Over the Bay of Islands

There’s nothing quite like a 16,000 ft skydive over the Bay of Islands to get your heart racing and your spirit soaring. As you climb higher into the sky, the view unfolds into a stunning mosaic of ocean blues, island greens, and golden sands. From above, the North Island’s natural beauty feels boundless, a perfect mix of peace and pure excitement.

When the plane door opens, the world seems to pause just long enough for that final breath before you go. The free-fall lasts 70 exhilarating seconds, dropping at speeds of up to 200 km/h, yet it feels timeless. By the time the parachute opens, you’ll be floating with awe, surrounded by panoramic views that define New Zealand’s Far North.

Frequently asked questions

Unfortunately, you cannot skydive whilst pregnant.

It typically takes 1.5 hours from your arrival to complete your skydive, but please allow 3 hours just in case. We need to allow for changes in the weather and because we are an aviation business, unexpected operational requirements can pop up from time to time.

Your freefall can be anywhere from 20 seconds, all the way up to 75 seconds depending on the altitude you choose to jump from!

After you’ve experienced the thrill of freefall from your chosen altitude you’ll enjoy a relaxing parachute ride to the ground. You’ll have approximately 5 minutes to soak up the incredible views of the Bay of Islands.

There is no age limit to experience a skydive, however, passengers under 18 years of age require signed consent from their parent or guardian. All passengers must securely fit in the harness. Please get in contact with our staff if you require a parental consent form to be emailed to you prior to your jump.

In order to ensure the safety of all participants, we have a weight limit of 100kg. We do have a bit of leeway with this depending on the weather conditions. If you are over this limit please get in touch with our crew prior to booking your jump.

No special clothing is required! We provide each jumper with a jumpsuit to wear over their clothes. But we do recommend you dress warmly (especially during the cooler months) and comfortably. We also require all jumpers to be wearing closed-toed shoes.

If you have any pre-existing medical conditions that may affect your ability to skydive, please seek professional medical advice prior to jumping.
