Step up to the edge and take on the ultimate adrenaline challenge with a 15,000ft tandem skydive over Wanaka. Embarking on one of the South Island’s most scenic skydiving experiences, combining serious altitude with unmatched alpine views. After a full safety briefing, you’ll board the aircraft for a 10–15 minute climb, soaking in sweeping panoramas of Mount Cook, the Upper Clutha River, and the region’s iconic lakes as anticipation builds.

Once at your maximum height, leap from the aircraft and drop into an extended freefall of up to 60 seconds, reaching speeds close to 200km/h as you surge through the sky. Capture every second with optional photo and video packages before transitioning into a smooth parachute glide, giving you time to take in the landscape from above before landing back at the drop zone.
