    The best thing I've ever done in my life!

    My first skydiving experience (9.000ft) exceeded all my expectations! Skydiving had been on my bucket list since childhood, so this day meant a lot to me. My instructor, Andrew, explained everything clearly, and I felt completely comfortable and safe with him! He captured so many amazing photos and videos, both during freefall and under the parachute. The feeling of falling and then being so smoothly and safely carried by the parachute was simply indescribable. I absolutely loved every second of it, and my only regret is not having done it much sooner! The atmosphere at the check-in and at the dropzone was very relaxed, so I never really had a chance to get nervous beforehand. There was a fairly long wait at the dropzone (over an hour), but it actually gave me plenty of time to get familiar with everything at my own pace. I could watch the other groups getting ready, taking off, and eventually returning with their parachutes open, and even browse the merch shop for a bit. At first, I was a little disappointed that the "Ultimate Combo" photo&video package wasn't available, presumably because there were no professional photographers on site that day. However, I have to say that, looking back, I'm still really happy with the photos and videos captured by the GoPro mounted on Andrew's wrist! I've come away with some incredibly cool memories. The whole experience couldn't have been better! I will definitely be jumping again. Without a doubt, this was the best thing I've ever done in my life! A huge thank you to the entire team - to everyone who prepared the skydiving experience so well, helped with getting geared up etc., and especially to my instructor Andrew and to Anthony (my boyfriend's instructor)! Thank you so much for this incredible experience - it has enriched my life :-)

    Skydive is good

    Great experience I’ve been skydiving 3 times this was definitely the best. It takes about 3 hours that’s very normal for a skydive. Views are amazing. Shuttle buses are a little inconvenient on timing dive to the facility if you are able to but if not the shuttle is perfect if you don’t have a car.

    NZONE Skydive Queenstown: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Queenstown.

    How much does NZONE Skydive Queenstown cost?

    +

    Prices start at $221 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Queenstown usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does NZONE Skydive Queenstown take?

    +

    Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Queenstown is not rushed.

    Is NZONE Skydive Queenstown worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 1,477 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Queenstown, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule NZONE Skydive Queenstown?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is NZONE Skydive Queenstown suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book NZONE Skydive Queenstown?

    +

    Around 517 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Queenstown can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Queenstown and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does NZONE Skydive Queenstown start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Queenstown within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Queenstown?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Queenstown experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Premium Milford Sound Small Group Tour & Cruise from Queenstown, Milford Sound Premium Small Group Tour & Cruise from Queenstown, Lord of the Rings Scenic Half Day Tour from Queenstown. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Queenstown?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Queenstown?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in NZONE Skydive Queenstown?

    +

    Included: Courtesy coach to drop zone; All safety equipment; Safety briefing with jumpmaster; and Tandem skydive. Not included: Freefall Photo & USB Video pack of skydive trip; Hotel pickup and drop-off; and Food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    What languages is NZONE Skydive Queenstown offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Chinese and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for NZONE Skydive Queenstown?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is NZONE Skydive Queenstown wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
