Powered only by gravity you will freefall at 200kph and be simply jumping for joy from the whole experience. We are not a "factory" type skydiving centre so can promise you an "adrenaline rush" without hurrying you through the process. We are confident in saying we offer New Zealand’s most personal skydive. You get to know us and we get to know you!

We set out to find one of New Zealand’s most breathtaking spots to view from the air and found the perfect place over Kaikoura`s stunning coastline and Seaward Kaikoura Mountain Ranges. The scenery just doesn’t get any better! We can’t wait to share it with you!
