What you can expect
Skydiving is a bucket list experience for adrenaline-junkies, and there's no better place to do it than in Queenstown, New Zealand - the adventure capital of the world! With a 15,000ft skydive, you will be jumping from a height of over 4,500 metres, giving you 60 seconds of freefall time plus a 4 minute flight under the canopy to enjoy incredible views of Queenstown.
As you board the plane, you will feel a mix of excitement and nerves, but your experienced NZONE Skydive instructor will be there to guide you every step of the way. Then, once you reach 15,000ft it's time to jump! During your freefall, you will reach speeds of up to 200km/h before the parachute is deployed and you can begin your peaceful descent back to earth. Marvel at the breathtaking views of dramatic mountains, blue lakes and the entire Wakatipu basin stretching out beneath you.
With NZONE Skydive Queenstown, you can rest assured that safety is the top priority. All equipment is regularly checked and maintained, and the tandem masters are highly trained and experienced. A 15,000ft skydive in Queenstown is truly a once in a lifetime experience that you will never forget.
