Take the ultimate leap of faith above one of New Zealand's most spectacular landscapes. This tandem skydiving experience launches you from NZONE Skydive Queenstown's aircraft at altitudes up to 15,000ft, delivering an adrenaline rush like no other. You'll freefall at over 200km/h for up to 60 seconds before your parachute deploys for a peaceful 3-4 minute glide back to earth.

The 15-20 minute scenic flight to altitude showcases Lake Wakatipu and the snow-capped Remarkables mountain range from a perspective few ever witness.
