WORLDWIDE · SKYDIVING EXPERIENCES
Tandem exits, wind tunnels, glacier flights and the bungee bridges that share the same adrenaline calendar. The 15 below are the ones worth the flight, priced and timed, with everything else we have jumped underneath.
Take a tandem skydive from 9,000, 13,000, 18,000, or possibly 20,000 feet above Parakai. You will freefall with an instructor for up to 75 seconds, with views toward Auckland’s east and west coasts, Waiheke Island, Piha Beach, Great Barrier Island, and Mt. Ruapehu.
“This was an incredible experience!!! Everything was top notch and the staff is excellent!! My teen daughter and I had the time of our lives!!”
You’ll make a tandem jump over The Palm with a qualified instructor and a camera flyer, reaching 120 mph in freefall before a gentle parachute ride down. Plan on three to four hours, bring valid ID, and use the included yacht tour by September 30, 2025 if the offer applies.
“I was so nervous, honestly started to regret my decision. But it’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever done I want to do it again. Thank you my instructor and photographer were both brilliant!!”
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 experience, really laid back and relaxed whilst you wait. I have jumped before elsewhere and have to say I loved the vibe of this place, tandem jumper very friendly and makes you feel really safe!

Jump from up to 15,000 feet above Airlie Beach with Skydive Australia, freefall for up to 60 seconds, then steer beneath the parachute while the Whitsundays spread below. Expect a four-hour outing, English instruction, selected hotel transfers, and optional photo and video packages.
“I had the best time, best experience. Myself and my parent er both did the skydive and it was the best part of our trip. Just want to say a huge thank you to my instructor Dawson, he made me feel so comfortable and at ease. My landing was so calm and lovely, and talked me through all the islands you can see :)”
At Bloukrans Bridge, you reach the jump point by zipline, leap from Africa’s highest bridge, ride back up by winch, then cross the 216-meter SkyWalk. English-speaking guides, full equipment, and a lively setting make this a bold Tsitsikamma adventure.
“Amazing experience. Fun atmosphere on the bridge before the jump and reassuring instructors”
At Bloukrans Bridge, you zipline to a 216-meter jump point, take the leap over the Bloukrans River Gorge, then return by winch and SkyWalk. Expect a careful safety briefing, supportive instructors, a certificate, and optional photo and video packages.
“Awesomeness, exciting, fulfilling and life changing experience. Would do it again definitely given another opportunity 💃🏾💪🏾👌”
Meet at the Killiecrankie National Trust Visitor Centre, then head to Garry Bridge for a 40-meter bungee jump above the River Garry. The Highland Fling Bungee team explains each safety step before you leap, then winches you back to the platform. Allow about two hours.
“I highly recommend the bungee jump, what a phenomenal experience. All the staff were super friendly and very good at their jobs.”
Take a tandem parachute jump from 9,000, 12,000, or 15,000 feet above Queenstown.

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!!”
You’ll train briefly, board near Coolangatta, and climb above the Gold Coast with a tandem instructor such as Adam, Germain, Luke, or Rolly. After roughly 45 seconds of freefall, enjoy a 4 to 5 minute parachute ride before landing on Kirra Beach. Photos and video cost extra.
“Very welcoming staff, I jumped with Luke who was an absolute champ. Luke has 15years under his belt, so very calm and comfortable environment. Short bus ride to airport, then about 10-15mins till you're up in the sky and ready to dive. The thought of jumping out of a plane terrified me until I took the leap, which I will never regret. Great experience, must do!”
At iFLY Basingstoke, you receive one-to-one instruction, safety gear, and two indoor freefall flights in a vertical wind tunnel. Arrive 45 minutes early for check-in. The activity lasts about 90 minutes, suits ages 3 and up, and includes a personal flight certificate.
“Great fun, Dominic was great and the whole experience was amazing. Will definitely recommend to family”
At iFLY Manchester, you’ll wear a flight suit, learn body position from a certified instructor, then take two flights in a vertical wind tunnel. The 90-minute visit suits beginners aged 3 and up, with no jumping from an aircraft and no previous experience required.
“An absolute ripoff! The skydiving itself is good experience but the prices are ridiculous. Probably Booking directly from the organisation may be better. We were promised a certificate but we didn’t even receive one!!”
