9,000 Feet of Freedom: Bay of Islands Skydiving Adventure

There’s nothing quite like the adrenaline rush of a 9,000-foot skydive above the Bay of Islands. As you rise higher into the sky, the sparkling blue ocean stretches out beneath you, dotted with lush green islands. Every moment builds anticipation for the ultimate jump into open air.

When the aircraft door opens, the roar of the wind and the vast horizon greet you. Sitting on the edge, your heart races before you take the plunge and freefall through the sky. Then comes the calm as the parachute opens, gliding gently over New Zealand’s Far North — pure magic from start to finish.

Frequently asked questions

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.

Unfortunately, you cannot skydive whilst pregnant.

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.
