Additional Info
Tandem skydiving is very weather dependent. New Zealand weather can often change quickly, so we ask that you call the supplier 30 minutes before your jump, to confirm conditions are suitable for tandem skydiving.
We have excellent facilities at our landing zone, so bring as many friends and family to watch and take pictures!
We have taken passengers tandem skydiving from age 5 to age 80. Skydiving customers under the age of 18 will need written parental permission.
For safety reasons our maximum passenger weight limit for tandem skydiving is 100kgs/220lbs or 15 stone.
DVD and/or photos are available for purchase on the day of your skydive for an additional charge.
Duration
Allow 2 hours for your complete tandem skydiving experience.
Dress Code
Skydiving jumpsuit, helmet, goggles and gloves will be provided. You will need to wear sensible, secure footwear and warm clothing for the New Zealand winter. You can wear either glasses or contact lenses for your tandem skydive without any problem.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q.Is skydiving safe? A. Safety always comes first, fun comes in a close second. Our instructors are highly experienced, our equipment is maintained to higher than recommended standards and all our crew abide by our stringent safety pro-forma.Skydiving is an extreme sport, and like any extreme sport there is a certain amount of risk involved.The most dangerous part of your day is going to be driving to the Landing strip! Q. Is it normal to nervous? A. Yes, it is absolutely normal to feel nervous. Jumping out of a perfectly good airplane is not something that normal people do every day. You are about to freefall towards Earth at speeds in excess of 220 kph from over 4.5 kilometres up, if your adrenaline isn’t pumping, then I think we had better check for a pulse! You will arrive nervous and maybe even a little scared, but by the time you leave you will be feeling ten foot tall and bullet proof! Q. What happens if I am afraid of heights? A. Believe it or not, a good percentage of skydivers and pilots are afraid of heights. From 12,000 ft up you will not experience vertigo like you would climbing a ladder or standing on top of a building. Q. How fast will I be going in freefall? A. The terminal velocity (maximum fall rate) of a single person in freefall in approximately 120 mph or 230 kph. A tandem will fall faster than this but is slowed down to regular terminal velocity by the release of a small stabilising parachute called a drogue. Q. Does it hurt when the parachute opens? A. You will feel a slight jolt as the canopy opens, but as long you put all your important parts out of the way when your tandem instructor is gearing up you will be fine. Q. How hard is the landing? A. As a tandem student you will be instructed to lift your legs up in front of you so your tandem instructor can touch the ground first. If you don’t land on your feet, you will glide in on your bottom and the landing impact is just like stepping off of a chair or a step. Q. How long will I be under the parachute? A. It does not matter what altitude you decide to skydive from, all of the tandem skydives have the same canopy ride. Your tandem instructor will deploy your parachute at approximately 5,500 feet. This will give you about 5 minutes to soak up the spectacular views as you fly around under canopy. Q. Can I talk in freefall? A. You can speak in freefall, but nobody will hear you. The sound you will hear in freefall is a white noise, imagine sticking your head out the window of a car travelling at 230 kph. Q. What does freefall feel like? A. It is the closest a human can be to flying and no words could do it justice! When you enter freefall you are accelerated by gravity so you will not experience the stomach lurches associated with roller coasters. Freefall is something that has to be experienced to be believed, it is definitely the fifth element. Q. What happens if I get motion sickness? A. It is very rare that anyone is sick in freefall. If you are prone to motion sickness eat a light breakfast or lunch at least an hour before your booking time. If you do start to feel queasy under canopy, let your tandem instructor know, they have sick bags at the ready for those rare occasions!
