Skydiving.

Operating as New Zealand’s pioneer tandem skydiving outfit since 1990, NZONE Skydive pairs high-altitude adrenaline with some of the South Island’s most dramatic alpine scenery. The experience begins at their sleek headquarters in central Queenstown before headlining a scenic flight over the Wakatipu basin. Jumpers can choose from exit altitudes of 9,000, 12,000, or 15,000 feet—the highest offering a full minute of freefall at speeds reaching 200 kilometers per hour. Below, the snow-capped Remarkables mountain range and deep blue lakes rush into view before a soft canopy landing on a working sheep farm at the foot of the mountains. With professional, dedicated camera flyers available to capture the plunge, this highly polished operation makes the ultimate leap accessible to beginners year-round.
