Description

Taking Skydiving to the next level – this once in a life time Heli Skydive experience will exceed all expectations. Garden City Helicopters, one of New Zealand's most qualified and safest private aviation companies, brings you this mind blowing Helidive – not just a Helicopter Flight and not just a Skydive this activity combines the best of the two. 

Board the BK117 machine for your private scenic flight over Christchurch city – take in the spectacular Port Hills, then soar over the East Coastline all the way up to the Banks Peninsula, with the breathtaking Southern Alps towering in the background. Just as you’re settling into this scenic helicopter ride, the side door opens & you will experience a sensory overload. Feel a rush of fresh air as you go against every natural urge and throw yourself out of the helicopter -  reaching speeds of up to 200km/hr. But don’t worry the scenery doesn’t end there, you will fall over Otautahi’s iconic Sumner Beach with views extending out over the Banks Peninsula all the way to Akaroa.

Your qualified and highly skilled instructor will be with you the whole time allowing you to lean back, relax and enjoy the 35 second freefall.

Become part of the Skydiving family as you land on Sumner Beach with a smile from ear to ear. Be sure to purchase the video pack so you can relive this experience over and over again.
