Skydiving Byron Bay - NSW
The Experience
Tandem skydiving 14,000ft over Byron Bay will give you a huge adrenalin rush. Attached to your skydiving master this 60 second freefall will be one to remember with beautiful views of Byron Bay. Located not far from Surfers Paradise this skydive is for you…
It is the closest a human can get to flying and no words could do it justice! When you enter freefall you are accelerated by gravity so you will not experience the stomach lurches associated with roller coasters. Freefall is something that has to be experienced to be believed, it is definitely the fifth element.
Our professional Tandem-Masters are responsible for all the equipment activation and control of the parachute. You simply smile and enjoy the adrenalin rush of freefall as you travel back to earth! Take in those spectacular views as you fly under canopy back to our drop-zone.
If you would like to preserve this moment and take it home to show your friends and family, then we highly recommend that you purchase a video of your jump. We have some of the best camera-jumpers in the country at our drop-zone.

Q. Can my friends and I all go up in the same plane?

Our aircraft can take three tandems with dedicated video and photos or five tandems with handy cam or no video. If you have a larger group, then it is not a problem, we will group you as you wish and you can watch each other take off and land safely in our grassed landing area

A. You will feel a slight jolt as the canopy opens, but as long you put all your important parts out of the way when your tandem instructor is gearing up you will be fine
