Get ready for the thrill of a lifetime with New Zealand’s most spectacular, multi award winning high altitude skydive from 9,000ft!

Highlights

  • 9,000ft skydive over beautiful Wanaka
  • Experience breathtaking scenery of the snow-capped Southern Alps Mountain ranges
  • Enjoy sensational views of stunning Lake Wānaka and Lake Hāwea from 9,000ft
  • Experience the mind-blowing sensation of freefalling at over 200km/h for up to 25 seconds

Jump in our custom built skydive plane as it takes you high up above absolutely stunning southern alpine scenery giving you the most amazing panoramic views of NZ’s highest mountains, glaciers, lakes and rivers.

Once you’ve climbed to a height of 9,000ft the time arrives to leap from the plane with your highly qualified jumpmaster into pure air and experience an adrenaline rush like no other.

Prepare for heart-pumping exhilaration as you freefall, reaching terminal velocity at an eye watering speed of 200kph. After 25 seconds of freefall the chute opens soaring you smoothly over the beautiful scenery below, landing you safely and gently back at the drop zone.

A must do on any bucket list, and an absolute must do with Skydive Wanaka! Discover why this is the New Zealand Skydiving experience everyone is talking about.

Phenomenal... views & your "beautiful stranger"!

I'm terrified of heights and I have a nephew in the UK battling brain cancer, his journey inspired me to raise awareness of medulloblastoma cancer by facing my biggest fear.. And I was really sick with nerves before hand, yet the skydive wanaka team totally put me at ease with their professionalism and banter to reduce my nerves. My beautiful stranger was Dan.. he got me through the shaking, near hyper ventilation and sheer terror. And I still did it and I was so proud of facing my fears and achieving something I'd never even put on my bucket list. Thank you sky dive wanaka!! #fornate (UK justgiving.co.uk) NAMASTE

Highly recommend 👌🏻

I made this booking for my 7year old son and my husband... first of all my husband was super nervous but when we arrived at the counter the staffs and people were on duty made him feel good about the whole experience. Also with their Tandem Masters (Jason aka Cuzzy & Cameron) totally made everything easier for them. They had so much fun...everything about it was extremely awesome 👍🏼... we salute the morning team on that day... the 14th April 2023. Thank you so much.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 From Shalom and Henry
