Your New Zealand Skydive Experience
Adding a New Zealand 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.

Just before you board our aircraft - say a few words for the camera - this is your proof!
Board the skydive aircraft
You take to the skies in our skydive plane – a custom-built X-STOL 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
15-20 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, 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.
Skydiving Freefall DVD & Handi-cam
KEEP SMILING! Your camera flyer or tandem skydive master captures your personal New Zealand skydive adventure available as a freefall DVD and digital pictures.
Parachutes up! Take in more of that STUNNING 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 so special, why it actually makes all sorts of sense. So, when will we see you next?
