About Wanaka Skydiving

Leap from the skies and plummet toward the breathtaking landscapes of New Zealand's South Island with Wanaka Skydiving — a tandem jump that delivers 25 to 60 seconds of heart-pounding freefall at speeds up to 200 kph. Soar above crystal-clear lakes, snow-capped peaks, and the winding Upper Clutha River in what many consider the most scenic skydive in all of Aotearoa.

Local Legends & Stories

The Wanaka region is steeped in Māori legend, with the surrounding mountains and lakes holding deep spiritual significance for local iwi. The area was also a favourite haunt of legendary aviator Sir Peter Jackson, whose love for flight echoes through the skies above today.

Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

The best months for skydiving in Wanaka are December through February when weather conditions are most stable and skies are clear. Spring and autumn also offer beautiful scenery with fewer crowds, making for a more intimate and picturesque jump.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

Opt for the photo and video package so a professional captures every angle of your freefall and landing
Wear dark-coloured clothing on jump day to reduce lens flare and improve photo contrast against bright skies
If you bring your own camera, secure it with a wrist strap — loose items are a serious safety risk at altitude

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

New Zealanders value the concept of 'fair go' — everyone is encouraged to try new adventures regardless of background. It is customary to thank your instructor by name after the jump, and tipping is appreciated but never expected.

Skydive Wanaka provides thorough safety and procedure preparation before pairing you with one of their esteemed skydiving instructors for your jump.

You will receive safety and procedure preparation, be paired with an experienced instructor, enjoy a 10-15 minute scenic flight over Mount Cook and surrounding lakes, and then experience the thrill of your skydive.

The base is located at the Wanaka Airport, and while self-drive is common, scheduled coach transfers can be arranged from both Queenstown and Wanaka townships.

Participants must be at least 10 years old, and the standard maximum weight limit is 100kg, though heavier individuals may be accommodated subject to instructor assessment and wind conditions.

You can choose to add a dedicated camera flyer who captures your jump from a third-person perspective, or opt for an instructor-mounted camera that records your point of view during the freefall and canopy ride.

You should wear flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers and dress in comfortable, weather-appropriate layers, as the operator provides all necessary specialized jump gear including goggles and a jumpsuit.

If weather conditions are unsuitable for jumping, the operator will reschedule your flight to the next available time or provide a full refund if you are unable to rearrange your travel itinerary.

You must disclose any medical conditions or recent fractures during booking, as certain issues like epilepsy, severe asthma, or recent scuba diving will medically prevent you from jumping.

A jump from 9,000 feet provides approximately 25 seconds of freefall, while upgrading to 12,000 or 15,000 feet extends the freefall time to 45 or 60 seconds respectively.

Early morning flights generally offer the calmest winds and clearest visibility, though the operation runs year-round and is highly dependent on daily alpine weather patterns.

It is recommended to eat a light, normal meal beforehand to maintain your blood sugar levels, but you must strictly avoid consuming alcohol or heavy, greasy foods prior to your flight.
