15,000ft Tandem Skydive in Tauranga

Take the plunge with a tandem skydive in Tauranga, one of New Zealand’s most scenic drop zones. Experience the thrill of freefalling from 15,000ft while soaking in panoramic views of Mount Maunganui, the Bay of Plenty coastline, and the Kaimai Ranges. Whether you’re chasing your first rush of adrenaline or adding another adventure to your list, this is an unforgettable way to see the North Island from above.

Your skydiving experience begins with a short safety briefing and gearing-up. Then, climb aboard the aircraft for a 15–20 minute scenic flight that carries you high above Tauranga. From 15,000ft, you’ll fall 60 seconds, reaching speeds over 200 km/h before your instructor deploys the parachute. The canopy ride lasts another 3–4 minutes, giving you time to breathe and take in the views as you glide gently back to the drop zone.

Skydive Tauranga’s experienced tandem instructors have completed thousands of jumps and are dedicated to making every skydive safe, personal and exciting. With clear windows in the plane and a flight for up to two tandems, you’ll have the sky—and the view—all to yourself.
