SKYDIVING IN QUEENSTOWN

It takes a certain kind of person to jump from an aircraft at 15,000ft into thin air. 

It takes courage. 

Harnessed by space age materials to an experienced qualified Jumpmaster, you step out that aircraft door and for some 60 seconds you plummet toward the ground at 200 kph, terminal velocity.

QUEENSTOWN

Queenstown is the birthplace of Tandem Skydiving in New Zealand, also known as the 'Adventure Capital of the World', Queenstown is the premium place to 'Jump out of a perfectly good Aeroplane'!  Our Dropzone is located at the base of the famous Remarkables mountain range surrounded by a working sheep farm.

'Why jump out of a perfectly

good

Aeroplane?
              

Why climb a great mountain

that does not know you exist? 

Why run a marathon?  Deep in

the human consciousness is a

pervasive need for a logical

universe that makes sense. 

But the real universe is always

one step beyond logic.  We do

these things.  It is something

deep within us, the need to feed

our voracious appetite for

danger and glory.

It is the spirit of man
