The ultimate buzz on the pacific coast highway. Experience the exhilaration of freefall from up to 12,000 feet.

The jump

After a short briefing you will be kitted up and board our jump aircraft.

During the 15 – 20 minute flight you will be treated to views ranging from Mount Ruapehu, East Cape, and the Coromandel Peninsular.

As you approach your selected drop altitude you will harnessed securely to your instructor.

Once over the exit point you will feel the wind blast as the in flight door is opened. Feel your heart pound with excitement as you hang your feet outside the aircraft and look at the ground 12000 feet below.

Adrenalin surges through your veins as you are launched out from the security of the aircraft and into the world of freefall.

Time slows down as you hurtle your way earthward at 200km/hr. At 5000 feet your main parachute is deployed and you begin your decent back to earth.

The canopy ride lasts around 6 minutes after which you can expect to touch down safely back at the drop zone with a smile on your face that will last for days.
