Overview

Highlights

Skydive amongst a winter wonderland from 16,500ft
Experience exhilarating freefall at 200km/h for 65 seconds
Spectacular views of Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers

See the spectacular Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers from a whole new level - 16,500ft to be exact! Experience the unparalleled thrill of freefall for 65 seconds before the parachute is deployed and you float smoothly back to ground, surrounded by snow-peaked mountains, lakes and shimmering glaciers.

What's Included?

Tandem skydive from up to 16,500ft
Experienced instructor

Elevate your heart rate as you dive off a plane from 16,500ft! After a safety briefing, you will board the aircraft for an exciting flight over the Southern Alps up to altitude. Once you've reached 16,500ft, you'll inch closer to the edge before leaping out of the plane with your instructor, freefalling from the sky at 200km/h for 65 seconds. The parachute will then be launched and you'll float peacefully to the ground for a few minutes. Admire unparalleled views of temperate rainforest, glistening toothy mountains, icy rivers, lakes and of course the dazzling Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers as you descend. It's a truly unique way to witness one of the most beautiful places on Earth.
