The Experience
We take off from Gold Coast International airport amongst the passenger jets, which offers it’s own unique experience and that’s before you’ve even leave the ground.
You will then have the opportunity to take in the breathtaking scenery on the flight to 12,000 feet. The view of the Gold Coast’s beaches and Surfers Paradise skyline are stunning.
Once the aircraft has reached the drop point you will leap from the plane on an adrenaline filled ride of a lifetime, rushing through the air as you free-fall down to paradise.
You hurtle 7,500 feet through the sky in 45 seconds. The skydiving parachute is deployed at around 4,500 feet, offering an intensely serene experience and one of the world's greatest views During the five-minute glide to earth you'll be taught to control your direction and descent speed. You will float down to the sandy beaches of Kirra, giving you a chance to take in the beautiful views of the Gold Coasts never ending beaches.
