What an amazing experience! This was my first time skydiving and I can’t believe I didn’t do it sooner! The team were great at organizing our takeoff. And the views were incredible! I’m very happy that I chose to do it in Queenstown as my destination! I will forever treasure this moment! Highly recommend NZONE and paying for the photo/video package.

Booked a last minute 12,000ft skydive and had a wonderful experience. The check in and briefing went smoothly and we headed to the airfield on the shuttle. Once there, they were quick to get us our gear and on the plane. My instructor, Angus, was fantastic and helped me have a wonderful time! Highly recommended!!

Overview

Skydive in Queenstown—New Zealand’s outdoor adventure capital—and jump from 9,000, 12,000, or 15,000 feet (2,700, 3,600, or 4,500 meters). After a safety briefing, board a small plane and tandem skydive with an experienced guide. Free-fall at speeds of up to 124 miles (200 kilometers) per hour, then relax as you float beneath your parachute high above Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables mountains.
  • Choose from three different altitudes from which to jump
  • Purchase souvenir DVD and photos after, if you like
  • Jump confidently in tandem with a professional instructor
  • Includes round-trip transfers from a central-Queenstown location

What To Expect

Start your Queenstown skydiving experience with a short drive from downtown to the drop zone, located at the base of the Remarkables mountain range and beside Lake Wakatipu, which serve as an impressive scenic backdrop for your tandem skydive adventure.

On arrival, a professional jumpmaster provides a full safety briefing before you take the ultimate leap of faith into the sky. Don a provided jumpsuit and goggles in preparation for your Queenstown skydive, choosing to descend from 9,000, 12,000 or 15,000 feet (2,700, 3,600, or 4,500 meters) in elevation. Then, board the small plane and check out the razor-sharp peaks of the Remarkables as the aircraft reaches optimum altitude. Feel your adrenaline pumping as you freefall before your tandem instructor pulls the safety ripcord and you float effortlessly together through the air.

After, order freefall photos and/or a video for bragging rights (available for purchase) before your transfer back to central Queenstown.

NZone does an excellent job...all the staff members are very professional and helpful. My wife and I felt very safe and well taken care of throughout the event. I'm 83 and this was my first jump...you are never too old to try something new and exciting. Luckily for us, it was a blue sky day and the scenery was unbelievable.

One of my best days ever!
Bernadette_P, Aug 2025
OMG- best thing ever. Did this with my two teenagers. What a day! The team at NZone are fantastic. My instructor, Linsey, was the best- put me at ease from the get-go and explained everything as we went, as well as having quite the sense of humour 😄 He also took the time to explain more about the parachutes, packing techniques etc after the jump, with my kids and me. Chris and Ivan were also wonderful instructors for my kids. Thank you all- a memory with my children I’ll be forever be grateful to have 🙏
Awesome Adventure!

I am from America and the times are different we are a day behind and our cell service doesn’t work in New Zealand well. They refuse to give me a refund after the weather wouldn’t allow us to sky dive They took 700$ from us.
Must do while in Queenstown!

Beautiful thrill ride
Marshall_C, Feb 2025
This was my first experience skydiving ever and the crew at NZONE were total pros. My jump master Patrick was great and put me at ease before the jump and I was oddly calm leading up to it. Overall great experience and the views in Queenstown were beautiful on the way down. Our weather was partially cloudy, so we only got the full view once we fell through the clouds. Photo/video package was worth it to me.
Just do it! 🙃

The free fall is just out of the world! We booked the 12k feet skydive but we jumped from 13.5k because of the weather. It was a good 50 seconds of free fall!
Best day ever!

This was truly one of the best things I have done in my life! I’m actually scared of heights, but did the 12,000 foot jump and was not scared at all. It was a beautiful day, I had absolute confidence in my jump master, and the whole thing was incredibly exhilarating, enjoyable and fun. I will do it again ! My teenagers had the time of their lives- this is a must do activity in Queenstown. This operation is so incredibly professional - I had no doubt about the safety and competence of the entire team. Thank you NZone for giving me one of the most fun and memorable days of my life! The photos and video were incredible - well worth the cost. We got them within 30 mins!

This experience was A-MAZE-ING!!! The entire team, from orientation, to suiting up, to the drivers that take you back & for made the entire experience seamless. My diver, Tracey, was phenomenal. With over 6k dives, she was a wealth of information. She made me feel extremely comfortable. And then there are views. The views are breathtakingly beautiful. Queenstown, NZ is the most picturesque place I’ve ever visitedThis is definitely a once in a lifetime experience.

The best experience ever
Kylie_H, Sep 2024
Wow this was the best feeling I've ever encountered in my life .. The anxiety and everything I had prior was horrible but when I got to the drop off zone meet some amazing coaches they were awesome and calming me etc, They made me feel comfortable tht was hard and just thought just do it. The experience is a must for anyone who needs a huge life change. My word is face the fear forget about the anxiety the what ifs and do it. I'm a hole new women so thanking everyone who made me feel comfortable and reassuring me. I'm going to do it again 12,000 was good but 15,000 next time. 😊 Live life. 💕
A Must Do Once in a Lifetime
David_C, Aug 2024
It was fun! A must try activity. We were pretty nervous about the dive, but the dive master made it enjoyable for us...
Embrace the fear, enjoy the view
Long_F, Jul 2024
Damn finally commit to my first skydive. If you wanna go for a skydive these people is definitely the best choice. They are professional, the handicam videos is great. I really enjoy the plane ride and of course the jump! The view u see while skydiving is crazy. Once in a lifetime experience. If u have already decided to do this I think Queenstown is the best city to do it.
Experience of a lifetime.
