Tandem skydive in Queenstown from 9,000 – 15,000ft

It takes a certain kind of person to jump from an aircraft at 15,000 ft into thin air. It takes courage.

Expect sensory overload as your mind, body and soul fight against every natural self-preserving urge. The challenge is immense. Harnessed by space age materials to an experienced qualified Jumpmaster, you step out of that aircraft door and for some 25 seconds freefall at 200 kph – terminal velocity!

In 1990, NZONE Skydive were NZ’s first tandem skydive operation and are now celebrating 25 years of skydiving. NZONE are the only tandem skydive company to have been awarded the Supreme Tourism Award and have jumped over 300,000 tandem to-date.

After a 15 minute scenic flight to altitude, you will nudge towards the edge of the plane before being thrown out! Keep your head up, smile at your skydive photographer and take in the stunning surroundings. After an exhilarating freefall, you will experience a 5 minute parachute ride, floating safely back down to the skydive drop zone.

Highlights:

  • From 9,000ft you will freefall for up to 25 seconds
  • The maximum speed is about 200 kilometres per hour / 124 miles per hour!!

What to Bring:

Nothing much! So long as you have closed toe foot wear that won’t fall off, and an appropriate amount of clothing depending on the season. In Winter, we do recommend that multiple layers are more suitable than one large jacket.
