Tandem Skydiving Rotorua and Queenstown

Embrace the fear and tandem skydive in Rotorua and 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.

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 seven days a week.

• Departures: Hourly (weather permitting)
• Duration: Allow three and a half hours to make your tandem skydive
• Transport: Courtesy transport provided from NZONE Shop 35 Shotover Street, Queenstown or your accomodation in Rotorua.

Queenstown

Queenstown is an exhilarating, year round, alpine resort, perfect for adventurers and leisure seekers alike.

Queenstown’s reputation as the adventure capital of the world (see www.queenstownadventure.com) is well earned, you can choose to join in or watch the massive selection of safe, breath-taking activities. Earth, water or air, there is something to test and thrill all adventure seekers.

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. In fact in 1998, Queenstown was again voted Friendliest Foreign City in a poll of 37,000 readers of Conde Nast Traveler, a top US Travel Publication. Queenstownfirst won the award in 1996.

In the same publication, Queenstown was positioned the 14th best city in the world alongside such names a Vienna, London, Paris and Hong Kong. It was the only New Zealand destination to rank in the World’s top 20.

About Rotorua

Rotorua is one of the most famous destinations in New Zealand, and has a long history of welcoming visitors.

From the moment people arrive in Rotorua they know they’re somewhere quite different. There is a scent of sulphur in the air, and at nearby geothermal hotspots there are spouting geysers, bubbling mud pools, and warm geothermal pools and ponds that create a kaleidoscope of colour.

Towering volcanoes, now sleeping giants, are unmistakable reminders of the landscape’s turbulent past. And extinct volcanic craters provide the setting for our crystal lakes.

Within minutes of town—you can be in a giant Redwood grove—on a farm—amidst native forest, trout sanctuary or wildlife reserve and if you’re looking for adrenaline-pumping action Rotorua’s range of adventure activities offers something to meet all needs from the Award winning NZONE skydiving based at the airport where you can experience the life changing experience of Tandem Skydiving, try out the highest commercially rafted waterfall in the southern hemisphere with “Raftabout”, you can bungy jump, slip and slide down the scree slope of an extinct volcano, race along luge tracks down a mountain side plus lots more.

Take your chance to spy from the sky by helicopter, biplane, or floatplane—and maybe land on a dormant volcano—or an active one! Tumble head over heels down a hillside in a Zorb, speed and spin in a jetboat. Try a safari through native forest and over rugged farmland, on horseback or by farm-bike.
