Description
Experience the majestic Aoraki Mount Cook National Park and the legendary Mackenzie Country on a 15,000ft tandem skydive. Set in one of New Zealand’s most spectacular skydiving locations, choose a 10,000ft to 15,000ft jump with Skydive Mt Cook for a once in a lifetime adventure. Locally known as 'Aoraki', the cloud piercer, Mount Cook is the highest mountain in New Zealand and provides the perfect backdrop for an adrenaline-pumping skydive.
Departing from the quaint Pukaki Airport near Twizel, you can already glimpse the majestic peak of Mount Cook before climbing on board the scenic aircraft ready for take-off. As the plane climbs high above the sprawling Mackenzie Country, take in the scenery before reaching your chosen skydiving height. Then at 10,000ft, 13,000ft or 15,000ft, it’s your turn to jump!
Your experienced Skydive Mt Cook jumpmaster skillfully positions you to enjoy up to 60 seconds of complete freefall over the vast Mackenzie basin below. Falling above this incredible South Island landscape is a surreal feeling, with a unique perspective of Mount Cook, the alpine lakes of Tekapo & Pukaki, as well as the Southern Alps. When the parachute opens, experience both relief and relaxation as you float over awe-inspiring mountains, rivers and Mount Cook National Park.
