SKYDIVING · QUEENSTOWN
Queenstown drops you between the Remarkables and the lake, and it is busy enough that a cancelled morning usually rebooks the same day. These 4 compare exit altitudes, the tunnel option in town, and the transfer out to the airfield.
Take a tandem jump above Queenstown from 9,000, 12,000, or 15,000 feet. NZONE supplies the gear, briefing, professional jumpmaster, and coach transfer from 35 Shotover Street. Plan for about three and a half hours, with photos and video available afterward.
“Incredible family activity with nice infrastructure, experienced coaches and feeling reassured all the way”
Take a tandem parachute jump from 9,000, 12,000, or 15,000 feet above Queenstown. You will freefall at up to 200kph, then float over Lake Wakatipu with an experienced jumpmaster such as Chris, Tim, or Tain. Return transport, equipment, and base facilities are included, but photos and video cost extra.
“The team were super professional and at the same time the tandems were very friendly giving us full assurance that we will be safe!! True to their words, we took the leap of faith & jumped from 12,000 ft. It was a thrilling & most memorable experience of our life!!”
At iFLY Queenstown, you’ll learn body position and hand signals before taking two 60-second flights in a vertical wind tunnel. Your instructor supplies the flight suit, helmet, and goggles. It’s suitable for children and beginners, with a maximum of eight people per session.
“Really nice, lots of add ons, wish we saw them here so we knew in advance but overall very friendly and we loved it!”
You’ll travel by 4WD into the remote Nevis Valley, ride a see-through cable car to a pod above the Nevis River, then face 134 metres of freefall. The four-hour experience includes return transport, a small group of up to six, and photos and video.
Pick a country, a coastline or a wind tunnel.
