SKYDIVE Bay of islands

It’s no secret that skydiving is one of the most thrilling experiences out there. But skydiving in the Bay of Islands is nothing short of spectacular. The scenery of the islands from thousands of feet in the sky is an experience in itself. The mighty turquoise ocean, the shiny golden beaches, the pristine beauty of the countryside, and the congregation of over 140 picturesque islands – each of them add to this exhilarating adventure.

Skydive BOI has jumps from different heights available, starting from 9000ft, all the way to a high-altitude jump off 20,000ft (the highest one in NZ), freefalling between 20 to 85 seconds, depending on the height. We guarantee you’ll be sitting on the edge of the plane, with anticipation building inside you every passing second until you jump!

Reaching speeds up to 200 km per hour while freefalling, you’ll experience an adrenaline rush unlike anything you’ve felt before. After the free fall, you and our tandem master will float under the canopy, enjoying the view from up above, before landing back at the dropzone.

Starting from $299.

So book your jump and get a once-in-a-lifetime skydiving experience!
