Take skydiving to the next level with an unforgettable tandem jump from 16,500 feet above the spectacular landscapes of Taupō. As the highest skydive available, this incredible adventure combines breathtaking scenery with unmatched adrenaline, offering a unique perspective of New Zealand’s North Island from far above its lakes, mountains, and volcanic terrain.

Your adventure begins with a safety briefing and introduction to your experienced tandem instructor before boarding the aircraft for a scenic flight to altitude. The climb is an experience in itself, with stunning views of Lake Taupō, Mount Ruapehu, and Mount Ngauruhoe, famously known as Mount Doom from The Lord of the Rings. As the aircraft reaches 16,500 feet and the door opens, anticipation turns to excitement. Then comes the moment you’ve been waiting for—an exhilarating leap into the open sky. Feel the incredible rush of around 70 seconds of freefall as you soar through the air at speeds of up to 200 km/h before your parachute opens and the pace slows to a peaceful glide above Taupō’s remarkable landscapes.

What makes this experience truly special is the combination of maximum altitude, extended freefall, and world-class scenery. The extra height delivers more time to enjoy the thrill of freefall, while the parachute descent offers panoramic views that few people ever get to witness. Perfect for thrill-seekers and bucket-list adventurers, this extraordinary Taupō skydive delivers an unforgettable blend of excitement, freedom, and awe that will stay with you long after your feet touch the ground.
