Tandem Skydive at Great Ocean Road Tickets

Experience the ultimate adrenaline rush with a tandem skydive above Victoria's famous Great Ocean Road. Starting from Barwon Heads Airport, you can choose between an 8,000 ft jump with 20 seconds of freefall or the full 15,000 ft experience for an extended 60-second plummet at speeds over 200 km/h. No experience is needed as your certified instructor handles all the technical aspects while you take in unmatched aerial views of Torquay, Bells Beach and the dramatic limestone coastline.

Your skydive begins with a 20-minute scenic flight along the coast, giving you panoramic views before the main event. After the freefall, you'll glide under parachute for 5 to 7 minutes, floating serenely above sea cliffs and endless ocean vistas. The experience concludes with a gentle landing just metres from the coast, complete with a certificate to commemorate your adventure.
