What to expect
Tandem skydiving is the fastest, easiest and safest way for an inexperienced skydiver to enjoy the thrill of jumping out of a plane, free falling through the sky at 200kph/120mph and floating safely to the ground under a parachute. The system includes a harness and parachute system for both the passenger and the instructor to share, so you can simply enjoy the thrill of the experience knowing your instructor has everything under control.
Nestled between New Zealand’s highest mountains, the Tasman Sea, stunning temperate rainforest, glowing glaciers, mirror lakes and braided river beds. For this reason and many others, the region was included in the Te Wahipounamu World Heritage Area.









Reviews
These are very professional personnel. Very skilful and passionate in what they do. Due to rain there was a chance for the activity to be postponed, but they kept me in loop at all times. Skydiving with them was a surreal experience.
This is a trip I bought for a friend, so my experience comes from them. They chose the highest altitude of 18,000 for their first jump in their lives. It was really worth it. The weather was very good and the visibility was good, but the wind was very strong that day. For safety reasons, the plane hovered in the sky for a while, and the altitude was much higher. What a lucky time it is to enjoy the glacier and snow scenery. The descent process was very cold and my face was frozen, but it was also part of the experience. After all, I don’t know if I will have the opportunity to jump off the glacier again in the future!
I initially booked for 1pm slot but the day before they asked me if I wanted to change it to 9am because the weather looked good! they were so nice about it to ensure we could skydive! 1st time skydiving and I felt so safe! feels like i could do a higher one next time 😜paid extra for the footage so i can look back and laugh at myself - worth it
This is my fourth skydiving, but this time I am most impressed because I can overlook the incomparable sea view and snowy scenery at the same time. It is really a great experience. It is really beautiful when the weather is good.
The skydiving instructor is very professional and can also guide novices in skydiving. The scenery above the clouds is very beautiful. It is an activity that must be participated in in life. If you only jump once, be sure to choose here.
my first experience and an awesome one. it is a must do activity if you are in franzjosef. views from top and mindblowing my gav is fox glacier from the top
honestly the best skydive I have ever done, the views are incredible and the staff were brilliant. I felt very safe and it was managed really well. super affordable too.
The instructor is very professional and the scenery is very beautiful. He will tell you how to maintain a good posture and land safely and care about your condition when the plane ascends.
jumped from 18000 feet.. it was an out of the world experience... opted for the go pro video package..it was amazing.. I was able to relive the moments multiple times... thanks to everyone in sky dive Franz josef team.. special thanks to my diving instructor Jono.. he was amazing...
Soaring above the clouds, and jumping off an aircraft with a view of Mt Cook and Mt Tasman was an unbelievable experience which I will cherish for the rest of my life.
