DESCRIPTION
Take on the thrill of a lifetime and discover the magic of Newcastle from above with a Tandem Skydive up to 15,000ft! The fun doesn’t truly begin until you reach the dropzone. On the count of three, you’ll be out of the plane door and free-falling for up to 60 seconds and reaching speeds of up to 200km/hr, all while attached to a qualified skydiving instructor. Once the intitial fall is over and your parachute has been deployed, you’ll be able to relax and catch your breath as you leisurely float to views of the entire region for around 5 to 7 minutes. Offering up magnificent views of the Hunter Valley and Lake region, as well as unforgettable views of the amazing NSW coastline, this experience is truly one to tell the grandkids.
All personalised training and instruction is provided before your jump to help settle any fears you may have.
