Risk Warning: Your participation in parachuting activities is inherently dangerous and may involve risks. These risks include, but are not limited to those arising from prevailing conditions such as weather or health conditions you may have. Despite careful packing, the parachute may open abruptly or not open correctly which may result in injury. Unintended incidents may occur during the aircraft flight, descent or on landing.
Parachuting is done at the parachutists' own risk. Any person parachuting, training to parachute, flying in any aircraft being used for parachuting or participating in any activity carried out by Skydive Wanaka or NZONE may only do so on the distinct understanding that they do so entirely at their own risk.

Amazing, easy, fun, well organized! First time skydiving with an amazing view. The saying go big or go home, do the 15,000 ft longer air time and incredible experience skydiving then a paragliding view. 100% safe and fun!

After all the health and safety checks have been completed the real action began. After being geared up the plane ride to the jump takes about 15 mins which was a good ride with views of the lake and mt remarkable ranges. The jump it self takes about 5 mins till you reach the ground. I had a good instructor who made me feel calm. The free fall is so quick it finished before I could take it all in and the landing was so smooth.

Nzone Skydive was amazing, staff were extremely effecient and made me go from feeling very nervous to feeling extremely excited. My tandem partner was just so fantastic, reassuring and pointed out some cool locations. Anybody doing a skydive, I would highly recommend 15000ft, so well worth it.

The best. I had a great fun doing skydiving here. Staff was very nice and my instructor was very supportive which made the whole experience great. I am not scared of heights anymore. Most do experience once or maybe many times in life.

The experience was amazing overall, and the view was spectacular! The only downside was that i felt dizzy during the free fall because we were turning left and right often (though that might just be personal preference). Instructor was there throughout the experience, and while the process felt independent, everything went smoothly in the end.

This was honestly the best thing I’ve ever done in my life. I went with my girlfriend, they kept us together in the same jumping group, were super helpful, and made us feel so safe! It was such an amazing experience and everything from the beginning to the end was truly 100/10. Super easy process, straightforward, and they ease your nerves if you have any. We felt super safe and comfortable the whole time! Highly recommend!!
