Skydiving in Wānaka comes with lakes, glaciers and Mt Aspiring below you. Choose a tandem jump from 9,000ft, 12,000ft or 15,000ft, and your jump master takes care of the rest. Book one for yourself or give it as a gift and let them pick the day.
Few places in New Zealand give you a better view from the plane door. On the 20 minute climb to altitude, your instructor points out Mt Cook, Mt Aspiring, up to six lakes and the Clutha River. Then the door opens.
Every skydive in Wānaka is a tandem jump, one on one with your jump master, so no experience is needed. The 9,000ft tandem skydive is a good first jump. Step up to the 12,000ft skydive for more freefall, or go all in with the 15,000ft skydive.
The higher you jump, the longer you fall, with up to 60 seconds of freefall at speeds of up to 200km/h before the parachute opens.
Book at least 36 hours ahead. Jumps run at set times through the day, with a weather check 30 minutes before check in. If the weather isn't playing along, you can transfer to the Queenstown or Glenorchy drop zones at no charge.
Friends and family are welcome to come and watch. Transport for spectators is available when there's space, or they can drive to the drop zone themselves.

Under 18s need consent from a parent or legal guardian, and the minimum weight is 30kg. Anyone over 95kg is assessed by the tandem master at the drop zone. Skydiving isn't recommended for anyone pregnant or with heart, back or other serious medical conditions.
Skydives in Wānaka are weather dependent, with a check 30 minutes before check in. If conditions aren't right, you can transfer to the Queenstown or Glenorchy drop zones at no charge.
