Our mind-blowing high altitude jump is out of this world!
Take it to the limit with our mind-blowing altitude jump – the highest in New Zealand. Skydive from up to 18,000 ft* and you’ll be one of the elite few who have experienced up to 75 seconds of free-fall!
Your adventure will begin as soon as you set foot on the plane. As we will climb higher, you’ll get astonishing views of the North Island. This is your chance to revel in the beauty of all the 144 islands that make up the Bay of Islands.
The scenery makes up only a part of the experience though. As we go up, anticipation will start building. Your heart will be racing thinking about what’s to come. And it should be! After all, we will be taking you higher than Mount Kilimanjaro* – that’s not something you can say every day. And then…we jump!
Skydiving from 18,000 ft feels nothing short of a dream. It’s not quite outer space but reaching speeds of 200 km per hour for almost 75 seconds – It’s going to be out of this world!
Throughout the adrenaline-fueled adventure, you will be harnessed to one of our tandem masters. When it’s time, the parachute will come out and you will begin your descent back to the world – taking in one last glimpse of the pristine beauty of NZ.
Don’t forget to capture the moment with one of our awesome camera packages!
* That’s right, Mount Kilimanjaro is 19,341ft

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

First time jumping and the whole experience was awesome.Was anxious and excited,just wanted to get up in the air and jump.
Can’t explain the feeling,a fast paced rush during the... read more free fall and just a feeling of freedom and enjoyment of the views while floating back to earth.
Big thank you to Prashant for being an awesome guide and also to the team at Sky Dive Bay Of Islands,definitely an experience to be remembered.
Will see you’s again for sure and will definitely go higher next time.

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.
