If you’re planning to visit New Zealand, add Rotorua to your itinerary. Located on the North Island, this unique city showcases the best of local culture and natural beauty, with plenty of adventures for visitors. Specifically, a skydive Rotorua is one of the most popular tourist activities - and for good reason. Explore the trip options from Everything New Zealand and book today.
Experience the thrill of skydiving at Velocity Valley, located just 10km northwest of the city. On the Freefall Xtreme Rotorua trip, you will feel the amazing phenomenon known as “body flying,” as you float inside a giant column filled with propelled air.
Your skydive Rotorua New Zealand excursion begins once you arrive at Velocity Village, which is just a short drive or public bus ride from town. After you arrive, you will be given a safety briefing and suit up as you prepare for the flight of your life.
Once you become airborne, you’ll instantly feel the pure rush of flying. The feeling will have you hooked, and you’ll never forget the experience. Your expert flightmaster will help you get up to four metres in altitude, with the option to try out more advanced tricks if you’d like.
However, this trip is far more than just a flight simulation. It’s your opportunity to enjoy the blissful feeling of complete weightlessness. The 90-second flight will undoubtedly be some of the most fun-filled moments of your life, and you may choose to add more time if you find that 1.5 minutes isn’t enough. Purchase additional 90-second slots for $20 each.
During your flight, a professional on-staff photographer will snap pictures of you soaring through the air as you smile through your skydiving experience. You have the option to purchase the images after your flight so you can share them with friends and family back home.
Velocity Valley also has several other activities that adventure lovers are guaranteed to adore, including jet boating, pod racing and bungy jumping. Bundle two or more of these activities together for the best value and maximum thrills!
You can sign up for Freefall Xtreme any day of the year, from 9 am to 5 pm. If you’re coming from central Rotorua, allot an hour for your flight and transportation to and from Velocity Valley. Transportation isn't included, so you will need to make your own way to Velocity Valley. Most participants drive themselves, but you can also catch the local bus, which leaves every 10 minutes from Rotorua.
In order to participate, flyers should be at least six years old and weigh a minimum of 25kg. Anyone who is under 18 years old needs to have parental consent.
