What you can expect

Book a tandem skydive over the stunning Franz & Fox Glacier at 16,500 feet to enjoy one of the most impressive views of New Zealand. With the comfort and reassurance of your professional tandem skydive instructor by your side, you will experience the ultimate adrenaline rush as you leap from the plane and skydive back to the drop zone. Begin the skydive experience with a safety briefing before you get dressed and harnessed up to tackle the skydive. Skydivers who book the 16,500 feet dive will enjoy a 30 minute scenic flight before taking the plunge. The skydive will give adrenaline enthusiasts a 75 second free fall before the parachute opens for a 5 minute flight back down to earth over pristine rivers, beaches, rainforest, Glaciers, snow capped mountains and the highest peak in New Zealand, Mt Cook! This is a great introductory skydive for those who may be nervous about tackling a skydive at a higher altitude. However, once you take your first skydive over the Franz & Fox Josef Glacier, it will be hard to wipe the smile off your face and will be asking if you can go again. Professional photo packages are available so you can relive the experience and prove to your friends and family that you skydived over New Zealand's most famous glaciers. If you are an adrenaline junkie or you simply have always wanted to try skydiving then this is the activity for you. Tick off that bucket list item and reserve your spot on a tandem skydive over Franz & Fox Josef for an experience that you will never forget.
