What you can expect
Take your skydiving adventure to the next level with a 13,000ft tandem jump over the breathtaking Aoraki Mount Cook National Park.

As the aircraft soars above the Mackenzie Country, the anticipation builds until you reach 13,000ft.
With Skydive Mt Cook, you’ll experience an exhilarating 45-second freefall, surrounded by the natural beauty of New Zealand’s South Island. Feel the adrenaline rush as you descend towards the earth, with panoramic views of the Southern Alps, Lake Pukaki, and the majestic Mount Cook beneath you.
