The 9,000ft tandem skydive is one of the best ways to experience Queenstown’s world-famous scenery. Freefalling for up to 25 seconds at 200 km/h, you’ll have the Southern Alps, Lake Wakatipu and sweeping valleys right beneath you. Few experiences capture the spirit of Queenstown adventure quite like this.
A scenic 15-minute flight sets the scene before the big moment. Once the parachute opens, the pace shifts to a calm 3–4 minute glide, giving you time to soak in every view. Whether it’s your first jump or a return to the skies, this skydive is a Queenstown must-do that feels unforgettable.
