Reach New Heights with NZ’s Record-Breaking Skydive

Imagine soaring above Auckland with views stretching from one coast to the other. As your aircraft climbs to an incredible 18,000 ft, your instructor points out landmarks like Great Barrier Island, Waiheke, Mount Ruapehu, and even distant Mount Taranaki. The anticipation builds as you prepare for the highest tandem skydive in the Southern Hemisphere.

Then, the door opens and the world rushes by at 200km per hour during an exhilarating 75-second freefall. The thrill is intense yet liberating, blending adrenaline with awe as the ground slowly comes into focus. Once the parachute opens, you’ll glide gently back to earth, taking in New Zealand’s beauty from a whole new perspective.
