Take on this epic 12,000 foot skydive over the beautiful Wanaka area. With up to 45 seconds of free fall you're sure to have plenty of time to adjust to the adrenaline & soak it all in.

Your skydive experience starts with a safety briefing at Skydive Wanaka's very own cabin of adventure!

Once you’ve checked in, you get to meet your skydiving instructor. Your instructor has many thousands of skydives under their belt and is ready to ensure you have the best skydive.

You take to the skies in an orange & white skydive plane – a Cessna Caravan, offering a comfortable, quick flight to altitude and maximum opportunity to take in the jaw-dropping views on the way up to your skydive altitude.

Move toward the plane’s now-open door, securely harnessed to your highly-qualified tandem skydiving instructor… pause on the edge, then… SENSORY OVERLOAD! You’re flying through the air at 200kph! You’re not falling – you’re flying and the view is truly INCREDIBLE. Your adrenalin is flowing as your senses try to process the intensity of the experience.

Your parachute activates. You enjoy the view as you float – exhilarated – toward the ground.

Your feet touch the earth. You’re safely back on the ground after a smooth landing at the Skydive Wanaka dropzone.

Take a moment to take in what you just did…

You just did something that makes no sense – you jumped out of a plane thousands of feet in the air. But now you understand why skydiving is so special, why it actually makes all sorts of sense.

Why is this Chuffed Worthy?

Having done a few skydives in our time, the team at Chuffed agree the rush of jumping out of a plane is one of the most thrilling experiences you can do! Once you have done the hard work & taken the leap, all that is left to do is catch your breathe & soak it all in as you float back down to earth.
