Your New Zealand Skydive Experience – To the Edge and Beyond
Adding a New Zealand (NZ) skydive experience to your extreme activity resume is easy with Skydive Lake Wanaka.
You don’t need previous skydiving experience... The only thing a previous tandem skydive gives you is a better understanding of why people recommend Wanaka when asked where to skydive in NZ.
Hey, we’re a bit biased, but we think you’ll find the Wanaka tandem skydiving experience pretty hard to beat. We definitely work pretty hard at giving you an experience to remember.
All we ask of you is a BIG smile, a couple of hours of your time and bountiful reserves of adrenalin...
Video Introduction
Start your NZ skydive experience with a safety video then meet your skydiving instructor.
Tandem Skydive Briefing
After an introduction and briefing by your instructor you’ll be kitted out ready to go. Time to wear your first true "Jump Suit"!
Famous Last Words
Say a few words for the camera so that your family and friends can share the experience with you later.
Board the Skydive Aircraft
You take to the skies in our skydive plane – a custom-built Cresco 750 offering a comfortable, quick flight to altitude and maximum opportunity to take in the jaw-dropping views on the way up to your chosen skydive altitude.
Marvel at Local Beauty as You Climb To Altitude
12-15 minutes enjoying unrivalled and uninterrupted views of Wanaka’s world-renowned lakes and mountains.
The Edge and Beyond… Freefall!!!
Move toward the plane’s now-open door securely harnessed to your highly-qualified tandem skydiving instructor... Pause on the edge...
Sensory overload! You’re flying through the air at 200kph... You’re not falling you’re flying and the view is truly uninterrupted. Your adrenalin is flowing as your senses try to process the intensity of the experience... for 45 - 60 seconds!
Skydiving Freefall DVD & Handi-cam
KEEP SMILING! Your camera flyer or tandem skydive master captures your personal NZ skydive adventure available as a freefall DVD and digital pictures
Parachutes Up! More of that view
Your parachute activates. You enjoy the view as you float – exhilarated – toward the ground.
Gentle Landing
Your feet touch the earth. You’re safely back on the ground after a smooth landing at the Skydive Lake Wanaka drop zone.
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 special, why it actually makes all sorts of sense. So, when will we see you next?
