What you can expect
A tandem skydive over the Abel Tasman will reward you with one of the most impressive aerial views of New Zealand. At 13,000 feet take the ultimate plunge alongside a professional skydive instructor who will provide you with all the safety and reassurance you need to enjoy this amazing experience. After a safety briefing, you will put your skydive gear on and head to the plane for a 15 minute scenic flight over the region. Once the plane reaches altitudes of 13,000 feet you will jump from the plane and experience a 45 second free fall at speeds of 200 km/hr. As the parachute opens, skydivers will enjoy the panoramic aerial views on the 5 minute flight back down to the drop zone. Breathtaking views of pristine oceans, rivers and snow capped mountains await skydivers who dare to take the plunge.
A free courtesy van is available for skydivers from Nelson and this must be booked at time of booking. The 13, 000 ft skydive is a great choice for all skydivers who want to maximise the amount of time spent in the air to enjoy the 45 second free fall and time to soak in the views of the Abel Tasman. You may relive the experience after your dive by purchasing a professional DVD and photo package to watch your skydive over and over. Don't miss out on this popular skydive. Reserve your spot and skydive the Abel Tasman!
