Discover the Thrill of Freefall
What to know
Freefalling is one of the most unique experience in your life. You’ll reach speeds of over 200 km/h as you freefall towards Earth! We’re completely addicted and we’re here to share our passion for skydiving with you. Our experienced instructors have done thousands of jumps and are ready to show you why they love what they do!
No matter if this is your first jump or your tenth, we want it to be special. Whether you’re nervous or you want to make it even more exciting by doing flips, let us know and we’ll make sure you have a great experience.
What’s included:
- Professional and experienced tandem instructor
- Training to get you ready to jump out of a plane
- Use of skydiving jumpsuit (optional), hat and goggles
- Restrooms, and free parking at our dropzone
- Viewing area for your spectators, we get in the plane and land in the same place.
What to bring:
- Comfortable and weather-appropriate clothing (gloves in winter)
- Closed shoes that cannot fall off during the freefall
- Earplugs. The plane can be loud, you might see our instructors wearing noise cancelling earphones.
- Money: cash or card, if you book through our website your jump will not be paid for, we just take the card to reserve your spot and make sure we don’t have time wasters or jokers.
Timings:
- Arrive at least 30 minutes before your scheduled take off so you can get signed in, geared up and given training.
- Allow around 1.5h for the whole experience, although on a quiet day it can be quicker.
- We try very hard to run on schedule and we don’t want you to miss your flight, so make sure you plan your travel time.
- The traffic in and around Mount Maunganui can get bad.

We will give you a jumpsuit (optional when it’s warm), a hat (NZ civil aviation regulations) and goggles.
