Skydive over turquoise oceans and snow-capped mountains, with views of New Zealand's North and South Islands. Your professional tandem master looks after you throughout the experience, so no prior skydiving experience is needed. Jump heights range from 10,000 to 18,000 ft, with more time in freefall on the higher-altitude options.
