Tandem skydiving from 12,000 ft* is an extraordinary experience. The view of the Bay of Islands you get from our plane is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. Cruising through the great blue skies of the Far North, you’ll get spectacular views of the turquoise ocean, beautiful golden beaches illuminated by the sun and lush green countryside.
As we climb higher and the moment of truth starts coming nearer, your heart will begin pounding harder every second. And then, we jump.
Free falling for approximately 45 seconds through the clear blue skies at almost 200 km per hour is something that simply can’t be described through words. Tandem skydiving in New Zealand is a dreamlike experience, with equal parts of adventure, adrenaline and crazy mixed together.
After the free fall, you’ll then float under the canopy before safely landing back at the dropzone or one of our alternative landing areas. You’ll be buzzing long after your feet hit the ground!
At skydive bay of islands, we offer the best skydiving packages and deals in New Zealand. Our 12,000 feet skydive package starts from $329 and is perfect for the adrenaline junkies looking to conquer the skies without breaking the bank.
Don’t forget to capture the moment with one of our awesome camera packages!

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.

Professional, fun, relatable - Bay Of islands skydive is very professional, great welcome, great introduction to the jump and great gears and premises, everything run smoothly professionally and fast.
Prashant Kapoor was my instructor... read more and he was awesome, made me wanna do it on my own, after proper training of course.
With around 7000 jump he made me feel comfortable, safe, and the whole experience was a delight until you jump off the plane of course when you realise you love life.
Even the deployement was smooth, I'm 6 feet and 100Kg and all was awesome.
To do it again and again
