Skydive Wanaka

One of the most common questions we get before a skydive: “Do you get that stomach drop feeling?” The answer? Not really! 👇

🪂 You’re already moving with the plane when you jump, so you’re not suddenly going from standing still to falling.

🌬️ You also don’t instantly hit terminal velocity. You build up to it over a few seconds, so the whole thing feels way more like floating through the sky than that stomach dropping feeling you get on a rollercoaster.

Ready to fly over Wānaka and feel it for yourself? 👀

Our outside camera flyers make freefall look effortless, but there’s some serious skill behind those shots. They’re flying alongside you at 200+ km/h while keeping you in frame and capturing every reaction 👏

That post freefall feeling when you realise you just fell through the sky at 200+ km/h 😮‍💨🪂

Big smile, thumbs up, and a whole lot of “did I really just do that?” energy.

The views start long before the jump 🏔️🪂

Spend 10 to 15 minutes flying over Wānaka’s world renowned lakes, mountains and the Upper Clutha River on your way to altitude. And if the skies are clear, you might even spot Aoraki Mount Cook.

And trust us, the views only get better on the way down 👀
