Ride from central Queenstown to NZONE’s drop zone near Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables, then jump in tandem from 9,000, 12,000, or 15,000 feet. A jumpmaster briefs you, supplies safety gear, and pairs you with a professional instructor. The roughly three-and-a-half-hour outing includes return transport, but photos and video cost extra.

“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.”
