Description:

What better way to see the rugged beauty of Otago than by launching yourself out of a plane at 12,000 feet (3,657 m). Safely strapped to your skydive instructor, freefall at breakneck speeds for nearly a minute before pulling the cord and parachuting gently back to solid ground.

Begin with the all-important safety briefing as experienced staff explain all the information you need to have an enjoyable dive. Once you are kitted up, board the plane with your guide and ascend more than 2 miles (3 km) into the air. After a few final checks of your harnesses and straps, take a deep breath and jump.

Accelerate through the air at speeds up to 124 mph (200 km/h) and feel the adrenaline surge through your veins as the wind rushes past you. Enjoy the exhilaration of a 45-second drop before your instructor pulls the cord and lets the parachute billow out. Now is the ideal time to gaze out and admire the charming scenery below you. Catch bird’s-eye views of the pristine waters of Lake Wanaka and the majestic peaks of neighboring Mount Aspiring National Parks you gently float down to the ground.
