Join NZONE Skydive for a tandem jump above Queenstown, choosing 9,000, 12,000, or 15,000 feet. After a safety briefing and coach ride, your instructor guides you through the aircraft flight, free-fall, parachute descent, and landing. Photos and video are optional extras.

“This was truly one of the best things I have done in my life! I’m actually scared of heights, but did the 12,000 foot jump and was not scared at all. It was a beautiful day, I had absolute confidence in my jump master, and the whole thing was incredibly exhilarating, enjoyable and fun. I will do it again ! My teenagers had the time of their lives- this is a must do activity in Queenstown. This operation is so incredibly professional - I had no doubt about the safety and competence of the entire team. Thank you NZone for giving me one of the most fun and memorable days…”
