Skydive with the best in New Zealand
The spectacular views of clear turquoise water, long stretches of pristine golden beaches, and lush countryside are guaranteed to take your breath away.
Not many activities in NZ can match the pure adrenaline rush of skydiving in the Bay of Islands. Reaching speeds of up to 200 km per hour, experiencing the thrill of free fall is something you’ll never forget.
At Skydive Bay of Islands, we fly up to 18,000 ft – New Zealand’s High Altitude skydive! After approximately 75 unforgettable seconds of your life, you’ll then float under the canopy before safely landing back at the drop-zone or one of our alternative landing areas.* Even after reaching the ground, you would still be flying in the head for quite some time!
Choose Skydive Bay of Islands and go tandem skydiving with the best in New Zealand. We have amazing island views along with an equally awesome crew and instructors to make your jump a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
*Please note we have multiple landing areas available. These include:
- Kerikeri Airport,
- Waitangi Treaty Grounds and
- Paihia beach.
Kerikeri Airport is 460ft above sea level.
So what are you waiting for? Book the highest tandem jump in NZ today!

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.
25 September 2022Fantastic experience! Best thing I have ever done! Prashant was a great instructor to have and made me feel at ease. A must do if in the bay of islands!

I was booked in for the 9000ft and upgraded for only $30 to the 12000ft. Was my first jump and I was nervous! I absolutely loved the experience! Every member... read more of staff was happy, smiling and accomodating throughout. I believe they could read that I was scared and they didn’t push me or try to be overbearingly excited, they were the perfect amount of funny, supportive and excited. Would definitely recommend the 12000ft jump minimum to be able to have the best experience of the free fall. And the management went out of their way by dropping me off down the road after my jump. I would recommend this experience any day of the week and really hope that the business bounces back from covid once the borders reopen. Best of luck!! Also would recommend getting the photo package or the video one for the laughs afterwards 🙂
