Product Info

Your FREE return transport will pick you up at the base of the Sky Tower, drive you to Skydive Auckland for your once in a lifetime experience, and then drop you back off again at the Sky Tower. We also provide pickup options from selected hotels in the city centre (if you are a hotel guest there).

Please be outside of your pickup location 90 minutes prior to your skydive booking time. For example for a 10am booking you will have a pickup time from 08:30am. Due to the multiple pickup locations around the city our driver may not be with you straight away so please be patient, however if you are not there at this time you may miss the pickup.

Get ready to re-define freedom and transform your reality! Skydive from 18,000ft, highest skydive in the Southern Hemisphere, 16,000ft or 13,000ft.

Your scenic flight will give you breathtaking views of twin coasts of New Zealand, Waiheke Island, Great Barrier Island, Mount Ruapehu and even Mount Taranaki! 

Freefall for up to 75 seconds travelling at 200km per hour, before your instructor will open your parachute and glide you safely back down to earth.  

On arrival our team will take you through a briefing explaining your skydive experience including jumping from high altitude, answering any questions you have and making sure you are ready for the experience of a lifetime.  You will be paired up with an instructor, geared up in equipment and off you go!  Capturing your experience with one of our personalised camera packages?

FAQ

1. What factors influence the cost of a tandem skydive in New Zealand?

The cost of a tandem skydive in New Zealand is primarily influenced by the chosen jump height, with options often ranging from 13,000ft to 18,000ft. Higher altitudes generally reflect a higher price. Optional add-ons such as professional photo and video packages, which capture your entire experience from freefall to landing, are also significant factors. These personalized media packages allow you to relive and share your adventure long after the jump.

2. Are there any weight or physical requirements for tandem skydiving?

Yes, there are specific requirements for tandem skydiving to ensure participant safety. Most operators have a maximum weight limit, typically around 100-105 kg (220-230 lbs), though this can vary based on factors like height and build. Participants must generally be in good health and able to lift their knees to their chest. A medical declaration might be required, especially for individuals with certain health conditions. It's always recommended to consult with the skydive operator directly regarding any specific health concerns or physical limitations before booking.

3. What are the safety measures in place for tandem skydiving in New Zealand?

Tandem skydiving in New Zealand adheres to stringent national and international safety regulations. All equipment, including parachutes and harnesses, undergoes regular maintenance and rigorous inspections by certified technicians. Tandem instructors are highly experienced, licensed professionals with extensive training and thousands of jumps. Modern parachute systems also feature automatic activation devices (AADs) as a crucial backup safety measure. Additionally, comprehensive pre-jump briefings thoroughly cover all safety procedures and what to expect during the skydive.

4. What sensations can one expect during a tandem skydive?

During a tandem skydive, the initial exit from the aircraft often provides an exhilarating rush, yet many describe it as a unique floating sensation rather than a stomach-dropping feeling. The freefall is an intense experience of strong wind pressure and rapid acceleration, often compared to floating on a cushion of air, allowing for surprisingly clear communication. Once the parachute deploys, the sensation transitions to a serene, quiet glide, offering breathtaking panoramic views and a peaceful descent.

5. Is tipping expected for tandem skydivers in New Zealand?

Tipping is not generally an expected practice for tandem skydivers in New Zealand. While greatly appreciated, offering a tip is entirely at the discretion of the participant. The primary focus of the instructors is to provide a safe, professional, and memorable experience for everyone. If you feel your instructor went above and beyond your expectations and you wish to show extra appreciation for their exceptional service, a tip would certainly be a thoughtful gesture.

6. Which locations in New Zealand offer tandem skydiving from 18,000 feet, and what makes the Auckland experience unique?

Several premier locations across New Zealand, including operators accessible from Auckland, offer the thrilling experience of tandem skydiving from extreme heights like 18,000 feet. The Auckland skydiving experience stands out by providing not only stunning coastal and city views but also the added convenience of complimentary return transport directly from Auckland's Sky Tower or selected city centre hotels. This valuable service eliminates the hassle of arranging your own journey to and from the drop zone, making for a smooth and stress-free adventure.

7. Does this tandem skydive package include transport from Auckland city?

Yes, this tandem skydive package specifically includes complimentary return transport from Auckland city. You will be picked up from designated points, such as Auckland's Sky Tower or a selection of city centre hotels, and comfortably returned to the city after your skydive. This convenient service is provided for all available jump heights, ensuring a seamless and worry-free journey to and from your exhilarating adventure. Booking through KKday allows you to easily arrange this value-added transport, enhancing your overall experience.

8. What should participants wear or bring for a tandem skydive?

For a tandem skydive, it is highly recommended to wear comfortable, layered clothing suitable for the prevailing weather conditions, as temperatures will be cooler at altitude. Closed-toe shoes, such as sneakers, are essential; open-toed shoes, sandals, or heels are not permitted for safety reasons. It's advisable to bring sunglasses if you have sensitive eyes, although goggles will be provided by the operator. Please avoid wearing excessive jewelry or anything that could easily fall off during the jump.
