The Ultimate Adventure: landing at the Treaty Grounds
To make your Bay of Islands skydive even more special you can land on New Zealand’s most historic site: the Waitangi Treaty Grounds. You can choose a skydive from 4 different heights: 9,000ft, 12,000ft, 16,500ft and 20,000 ft.
Your Treaty Grounds adventure starts at Kerikeri airport with the safety briefing and meeting your skydive instructor. It is now time to board the skydive plane. Enjoy spectacular views of turquoise water, golden beaches, and lush countryside during the 15-minute flight to the Treaty Grounds at 9,000ft.
At 9,000ft the instructor and you move to the door and sit on the edge of the plane, it’s time to jump. Experiencing the thrill of freefall reaching speeds of 200km per hour is something you will never forget. After 20 seconds of freefall, your parachute activates, and you can enjoy the views while floating to the Treaty Grounds for a gentle landing.
Upgrade your skydive to the Treaty Grounds landing for just $100 and receive:
– Skydive onto the Waitangi Treaty Grounds
– Waitangi Treaty Grounds Experience Pass
– Whare Waka Cafe drink voucher (beer, wine, hot or cold non-alcoholic beverage)
– Transport back to Kerikeri aiport
*Previously called the Moana Package. The Waitangi Treat Ground Landing is weather-dependent. The cost of the Treaty Ground Landing is per person and in addition to your skydive.

Just do it! - Amazing experience! Spur of the moment crazy decision to do a jump and I would definitely do it again! My instructor Adi Tamar was fantastic, calm and assured... read more just what I needed. Had an amazing long free fall and glide back down to the ground, with a soft landing. Crazy amazing!!

Absolutely amazing. I would 100% do it again but higher up. My instructor (Prashant) was fab and super encouraging. If you get an opportunity do it go for it.

I did a skydive here on 02nd January 2022. The skydive itself was exhilarating. A lifelong dream and the first one I'd ever done. Everything went well until we came... read more in to land. We seemed to be coming in faster than we should but as a complete novice, I had no point of reference.
We hit the ground very hard, landing directly on my backside. The pain was excruciating. The instructor, Maurice, said he tried to take the impact on his feet, but couldn't (I am significantly taller and heavier than him (I'm a 30's male - 185cm, 95kg)
I could barely stand up, but I was ushered away and told that this sort of thing happens now and again. Just put a bit of deep heat on it and I'll be fine in a couple of days!
I was in agony, so I went to a physio a couple of days later and got referred for an x-ray. I had a compression fracture (T11) in my spine and a broken tailbone. It heavily impacted my quality of life. I've gone through physiotherapy and have improved significantly, but I'm still in intermittent discomfort nearly 10 months later.
There was no record made of the accident and it was all brushed off. I returned to the site the next day to understand what went wrong. Maurice wasn't available so I spoke to one of his colleagues. I was told it was probably turbulence. It's unlucky and rare, but it happens. It didn't appear to be taken seriously.
I realise there are inherent risks with jumping out of an aeroplane, but I'm not happy with how it was dealt with.
