What to expect
Nestled between New Zealand’s highest mountains, the Tasman Sea, stunning rainforests, glowing glaciers, mirror lakes and braided river beds, Franz Josef Glacier has been described as one of the most beautiful places to skydive in the world.
Tandem skydiving is the fastest, easiest and safest way for an inexperienced skydiver to enjoy the thrill of jumping out of a plane, free falling through the sky at 200kph/120mph and floating safely to the ground under a parachute. You can simply enjoy the thrill of the experience knowing your tandem instructor has everything under control.

Heard that Franz Josef has a better view for skydive than Queenstown which is absolutely correct. Drizzling upon arrived in Franz Josef but unable to skydive due to weather condition no good. Went again next day with blessing of good weather. My son did the value price fir 13,000ft and I did for the skydive of 20,000ft. Request for 2 personal photographer but they have only one available. They do have tandem master behind us which makes us fell secured. All the staffs are very friendly and those had a jump from 20k ft will get foc t-shirt. Paid for all the videos and felt worth it as it's a must for once a life time. You get longer time above the air for 20k ft. Will be cold jump from plane but very enjoyable. After the release of parachute, get to glide and have good view. An excellent experience. Assume they are the only company do the skydive.. Do book from them will feeling of assurance and confidence.It was my first time skydiving, I was very excited, no room for nervousness, until like 2min before jumping, but I was already there, no turning back! lol I have NO regrets, it was the best experience ever, the free fall, the views, the adrenaline when the instructor does acrobacies (if you want ...
It was my first time skydiving, I was very excited, no room for nervousness, until like 2min before jumping, but I was already there, no turning back! lol I have NO regrets, it was the best experience ever, the free fall, the views, the adrenaline when the instructor does acrobacies (if you want to) is incredible! My instructor Callum was really nice and they video turned out great! Thank you all, i'll be back for the highest jump!We were picked up from the centre of town and taken 15 mins to the jump site in a shuttle bus. The staff were friendly and helpful. We paid extra (quite a lot extra) for photos and videos. Looking back the photos were worth it, not sure about the video. I had a great jump instructor who was poi...
We were picked up from the centre of town and taken 15 mins to the jump site in a shuttle bus. The staff were friendly and helpful. We paid extra (quite a lot extra) for photos and videos. Looking back the photos were worth it, not sure about the video. I had a great jump instructor who was pointing out lots of places as we ascended in the plane and made me feel very safe. Would have liked a little longer parachuting down, it felt like they wanted us down as quickly as possible to get the next group up. A great place to jump with views of the ocean, glacier and mountains. If you are on the fence about jumping with these guys I would say go for it.First time skydiving though its tandem skydiving, it’s a mixed emotions of looking forward & being super nervous!
