Tandem Skydiving Queenstown
Embrace the fear and go tandem skydiving in Queenstown. Harnessed by space age materials to an experienced qualified jumpmaster, fly to jump altitude, step out the aircraft, freefall for some 60 seconds reaching terminal velocity 200 kilometres per hour. Your jumpmaster will deploy the reinforced tandem canopy controlling your entire skydive. No previous experience is required on our skydiving jumps in Queenstown.
The personal challenge is immense. Immense, because the only thing preventing you from enjoying this, one of the most primal life shaping experiences, is your own mind. You must choose. To go through life able to say “yes, I did it”, or to go through life knowing that you had the opportunity, but you turned it down and walked away from becoming the complete person you could have been.
We operate Queenstown skydiving jumps seven days a week.
- Departures: Hourly (weather permitting)
- Duration: Allow three hours for the entire experience

Nestled on the shores of Lake Wakatipu, overlooked by the majestic Southern Alps, the town was named because “ ...it was fit for Queen Victoria”. Queenstown is today recognised internationally as New Zealand's premier visitor destination. Queenstown has more than just breathtaking scenery and a diverse range of attractions, it's the people visitors find enchanting.
