“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 !

Review of Wanaka skydiving, with altitude choices, Southern Alps views, costs, safety, transport, and practical tips before you book.
“My 13 & 15 year olds jumped from 9000ft, they loved it and want to do it again! As a spectator, I was disappointed that they jump so far away you're unable to see them from the ground, you also can't see them land. I would have loved it if there was a deal or discount for the video/photos when two people are jumping, because the $200pp base price tag for the vids/photos is far too expensive. Overall 5/5 because the kids loved it.”
