Picture yourself right here:

No previous parachuting experience required!

Make a booking now! Choose the jump altitude you prefer, hop into your jumpsuit, goggles and hat we provide, let your tandem skydive instructor fit your harness, receive a short briefing and climb aboard our Fletcher turbine aircraft. This is where your ultimate skydive adventure starts!

Whilst flying to jump height, enjoy breathtaking views of Abel Tasman and Kahurangi National Parks, the Southern Alps (snow-capped in winter), golden beaches and blue oceans (spot the kayaks!), before exiting the aircraft in search of terminal velocity!           

Experience the unequalled freedom of flight at 200 km/ph (120 mph) until your Tandem Instructor opens the parachute and brings you safely back to earth.

Now try to stop smiling!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

 

What weather conditions prevents me from jumping? Obviously skydiving is very weather dependent. For example strong wind, low cloud or rain can prevent us from jumping. As we operate from an area where bad weather can clear very quickly, we will re-confirm whether we are operational one hour before your jump. If you are booked and you don't hear from us, it's all go!

What height should I jump from?
The most popular height is 13,000 feet (above ground level). If you are of a superstitious nature, we are more then happy to jump out at 12,995 feet, just let us know. We certainly recommend this as a minimum height if you get your jump filmed.

How long does the freefall last?
You fall about 1000 feet every 5 seconds after the first 1000 feet, which takes 10 seconds. So a freefall from 12,000 feet will take 40 seconds!

How fast do you travel in freefall?
120mph or 200 km/ph

How do I get to Motueka?
You could either drive to our dropzone (see directions page) or we can pick you up from anywhere between Nelson and Marahau.

What do I wear?
We supply jumpsuits, goggles, gloves and helmets. Make sure you wear sturdy footwear and bring a warm top (i.e. fleece).

I wear glasses/contact lenses ...
No problem, we supply you with custom made goggles for that purpose.

Is there a weight limit?
Yes, 100 kg or 16 Stone

Do you have gift vouchers?
Yes, just choose the jump altitude, supply us with your address and credit card details and we post the voucher to you. 

What type of payment do you accept?
We accept NZD cash, Eftpos (NZ only), Visa, Mastercard and NZD Travellers Cheques.
