Strap yourself to a beautiful stranger for the experience of a lifetime with Skydive Wanaka - New Zealand's most spectacular, multi award winning high altitude skydive!

Highlights

  • 12,000ft skydive over beautiful Wanaka
  • Experience breathtaking scenery of the snow-capped Southern Alps Mountain ranges
  • Enjoy sensational views of stunning Lake Wānaka and Lake Hāwea from 12,000ft
  • Experience the mind-blowing sensation of freefalling at over 200km/h for up to 45 seconds

Climbing high above the stunning southern alpine scenery in the custom built skydive plane, your incredible scenic flight captures breath-taking 360 degree views of NZ's highest mountains, glaciers, lakes and rivers.

Reaching a height of 12,000ft the time arrives to leap with your highly qualified jumpmaster from the perfectly good aeroplane into pure air and the adrenaline rush of a lifetime.

Experience the heart pumping exhilaration of freefall as you reach terminal velocity at an eye watering speed of 200kph. After 45 seconds of freefall the chute opens soaring you smoothly over the beautiful scenery below, landing you safely and gently back at the drop zone.

Grandiose Erfahrung

Ein super Erlebnis! Das Team ist entspannt und freundlich, der shuttle hat ohne Probleme geklappt und der Sprung war einfach wunderbar. Die Wartezeit war vielleicht ein wenig zu lang, aber das kann man bei so einem top Erlebnis vernachlässigen

Beste Entscheidung meines Lebens

Es war der absolute Wahnsinn. Ich kann gar nicht mehr sagen. Man springt und man denkt sich - mach ich das grade wirklich ? Es ist wirklich eine Erfahrung, die man mal gemacht haben sollte.. Die 'beautiful Strangers' geben dir so viel Sicherheit, dass man es einfach nur genießt. Mein Video werde ich mir noch in 10 Jahren 1000 mal angucken. Werde auf jeden fall wieder kommen und nochmal einen machen, vielleicht aus 15000 ft dann. Macht die Erfahrung !!

Awesome

Es war einfach eine mega geile Erfahrung! Ich würde es jedem entfehlen. Das Personal ist super nett und auch mein Tandemmaster war super. Ich habe mich total sicher gefühlt und die Angst wurde mir dadurch etwas genommen. Auch die Fotos und das Video von meinem Sprung sind super geworden.
