Tandem Skydive 12,000ft

Tandem Skydive – New Zealand’s Ultimate Freefall Experience

A Tandem Skydive in New Zealand is the kind of experience you never forget—equal parts adventure, adrenaline, and pure magic. Located just 6 minutes from Kerikeri and 20 minutes from Paihia, this world‑class drop zone offers some of the most breathtaking scenery you can skydive over anywhere in the country.

Your Skydiving Experience

Your adventure begins as your pilot climbs through the clear blue skies above the Bay of Islands. As the aircraft ascends, you’ll enjoy sweeping views of:

• Turquoise ocean dotted with more than 140 islands
• Golden sandy beaches curving along the coastline
• Lush green countryside and rolling farmland
• The dramatic contrast of deep blue water and bright emerald land

Once you reach altitude, it’s time for the moment you’ve been waiting for. Harnessed securely to your professional tandem instructor, you’ll leap from the plane and experience the exhilaration of freefall at up to 200 km/h. The rush is intense, unforgettable, and unlike anything else.

After the freefall, your parachute opens, and everything slows down. You’ll float gently back toward the ground, giving you time to soak in the incredible views and enjoy the peaceful glide back to the drop zone. Most people say the adrenaline buzz lasts long after their feet touch the earth again.
