Skydiving over the Abel Tasman is a feast for the senses. Spectacular sights of snow-capped mountains, golden beaches, and three national parks. The sound of the wind as you free-fall from 16,000 feet. The feeling of weightlessness as your parachute opens. The taste of adventure as you launch yourself into the unknown.

When’s the best time to skydive in New Zealand? Anytime, of course. Skydiving is often seen as a summer activity, but every season – yes, even the middle of winter – offers a unique experience.

It was March 25, 1979, when Stuart Bean first threw himself out of an aeroplane at 3000 feet.
