What to Expect from Skydive Wanaka in Queenstown
Get transferred to Wanaka Airport, hop aboard a plane and get whisked away to the drop area. Meet your expert tandem instructor, receive a safety briefing, get strapped into your harness and take that leap of faith. You will have three height options for your jump: 9,000 feet (2,743 meters); 12,000 feet (3,657 meters) or the ultimate 15,000 feet (4,572 meters). The flight lets you reach the speed of up to 200 kilometers per hour and after about a minute of freefall, your parachute will open. You may want to close your eyes during the flight — but try to keep them open to catch the breathtaking views down below as you fly over Mt. Cook, Mt. Aspiring, the Southern Alps, up to 6 lakes and the Clutha River.

Risk Warning
Your participation in parachuting activities is inherently dangerous and may involve risks. These risks include, but are not limited to those arising from prevailing conditions such as weather or health conditions you may have. Despite careful packing, the parachute may open abruptly or not open correctly which may result in injury. Unintended incidents may occur during the aircraft flight, descent or on landing. Parachuting is done at the parachutists’ own risk. Any person parachuting, training to parachute, flying in any aircraft being used for parachuting or participating in any activity carried out by Skydive Wanaka or NZONE may only do so on the distinct understanding that they do so entirely at their own risk.
Reviews
Reviews summarythe skydive experience was great and smooth. we have booked the ultimate photo shooting on their websites. many photos were provided but most of them were failures/ crashy haha. I just uploaded some successful scene photos for you.
Awesome experience! Finally got to jump after two cancellations due to bad weather. No need to worry about fear of heights — you won’t even have time to be scared, because your instructor will take you straight out of the plane. After just a couple of seconds, you'll be fully enjoying the free fall — and that’s the best part!
My Tandem Masters Jamie and Rory were extremely friendly and helpful. I was scared of the landing but they made sure that I was comfortable and that we land safely :)
The booking process was smooth, and the experience was unforgettable. The staff were professional and made me feel safe throughout. The views over Wanaka were breathtaking. Highly recommended!
exhilarating and amazing experience. my instructor Aaron was very professional with clear calm guidance which made me feel very safe. recommended!
The front desk staff was very welcoming during check-in and patient with my limited Chinese. They carefully helped me choose the right size of clothing and hat for the jump. After dressing me, the instructor who took me skydiving re-checked everything to make sure it was secure. The plane was much larger and more comfortable than the one I used for skydiving in Pattaya, Thailand. Reaching 15,000 feet, I was able to take in the breathtaking views of the Southern Alps. Unlike other companies that land near the airport, we landed in a grassy field some distance away, and then took a bus back to the airport.
best view you can ask for. skydiving wanaka here is the best yet. i highly recommend everyone to give it a shot.
Skydiving in Queenstown is definitely an outdoor sport worth experiencing here. Everyone takes a parked plane and flies to an altitude of more than 3,000 meters in the sky. Then, under the leadership of a professional instructor, they jump off the plane and fly freely in the air. At the same time, a professional photographer will accompany you to take photos for you. It is really a thrilling and enjoyable high-altitude experience.
Once in a lifetime experience! Patient and nice guides, safety always come first when having such a high risk activity. Highly recommended!
Well worth the experience! Although it was really scary and frightening during the takeoff and climbing process, the instructor kept encouraging you, making you feel at ease and you felt great after the jump!
