Experience a Tandem Skydive from 16,500 feet in the air with the most astonishing views over mountains, beaches, and the ocean.
Located in central Motueka and boasting the country’s most epic scenery, this is the only drop zone in NZ that can show you the mind-blowing views of both islands. Freefall from the best piece of sky this beautiful country has to offer!
In tandem skydiving, you are paired with a professional tandem master who looks after you every step of the way. You will experience a huge rush leaving the aircraft – but just as quickly notice that the sensation of the roaring wind below you actually cushions you as you travel speeds of 200kph (120mph).
Then wow – the rush turns to extraordinary peace when at approximately 5,000 feet, your parachute opens, and you gently drift over the Abel Tasman with breathtakingly beautiful views. You’ll feel the freedom of flying over turquoise oceans, snow-capped mountains and three national parks – some of the most beautiful scenery on earth is found right at the centre of New Zealand. At this point, you’ll either be stunned to silence or screaming for joy! It’s an indescribable feeling that you will never forget. You won’t be able to wipe the smile off your face!
This 16,500ft Tandem skydive is the most popular skydive in Abel Tasman. The 16,500ft Tandem skydive requires use of oxygen masks. The oxygen mask is there to lessen the effect of lower oxygen levels which will allow you to enjoy your experience way more. The mask only stays on in the plane, a few minutes before your skydive your Tandem Master will take the mask off and you’re off to have the best time of your life!!! This is the ultimate skydive package.
