What To Expect
A tandem sky dive is the perfect introduction to sky diving and what better place to do it then the tropical paradise of Far North Queensland. Your highly trained instructor will give you a brief 15-minute safety and training session before you strap on your parachute and get ready for the flight of your life. Soaring to a height of up to 15,000ft, the drop zone is located between the reef and the rainforest for the best aerial views of Tropical North Queensland. Feel the exhilaration of a short freefall before the parachute is released and you float gently to the ground. Nestled between the world-famous Great Barrier Reef and World Heritage listed rainforests, the views over Cairns are nothing short of spectacular. To the north lies the ancient Daintree Rainforest, to the west the Atherton Tablelands. The blue waters of the Coral Sea lie to the west, with Great Barrier Reef islands including Green Island and Fitzroy Island visible just off the coast. There's no better way to see the natural beauty of the whole area in such a short time. Photos and videos of your sky dive are available to purchase on the day, and roundtrip transport from Cairns hotels is included.

5.00Sam was amazing! He made sure I was calm throughout and the entire trip from take off to the jump to the landing was perfect! I felt very safe and was not afraid at all! Highly recommend! A small note the operator might change the timing of the jump so you need to keep that in mind while booking!
Do it!

5.00Most amazing "tour" ever - handled by Skydive Australia c",) The crew in Cairns is utmost professional, you feel safe at all times, and the experience is simply mind blowing. I thought this would be a once-in-a-lifetime for me... but is now searching for options on how to skydive again - first tandem again, but later solo... If you are considering - then DO IT!!!

5.00It was a great adventure. The crew members were fun and good. Don't expect too many views though. The free fall is the best part.
