What you can expect

For the ultimate skydiving experience, nothing compares to a 16,500ft tandem jump over Aoraki Mount Cook and the stunning Mackenzie Country. Starting your journey at Pukaki Airport near Twizel, you’ll catch glimpses of the towering Mount Cook as you prepare for the adventure of a lifetime. As the plane ascends high above the South Island, you’ll take in sweeping views of the Mackenzie basin before reaching the maximum height of 16,500ft.

With Skydive Mt Cook, prepare for an adrenaline-charged 70-second freefall, surrounded by the pristine beauty of New Zealand’s most spectacular landscapes. As the parachute deploys, enjoy the peaceful glide over the rugged terrain, with unmatched views of Mount Cook, the waters of Lake Tekapo, and the Southern Alps.
