What you can expect

Take adventure to extraordinary new heights with the ultimate tandem skydive over Aoraki Mount Cook National Park. Your journey begins at Pukaki Airport near Twizel, where the towering silhouette of Mount Cook sets the stage for an unforgettable experience. As the aircraft climbs high above New Zealand’s South Island, sweeping views of the Mackenzie Basin unfold beneath you before reaching the thrilling jump altitude of 16,500ft.

Then it’s time to unleash the ultimate freefall. Harnessed securely to your expert tandem instructor with Skydive Mt Cook, you’ll rocket through the sky for an incredible 70 seconds of adrenaline-fuelled freefall surrounded by some of the country’s most spectacular scenery. Once the parachute opens, the pace slows and the views take centre stage as you glide peacefully above Mount Cook, the turquoise waters of Lake Tekapo and the rugged Southern Alps.
