Tandem Skydive Over the Beautiful Gold Coast with Beach Landing

The journey, in full

On the ground, you'll be suited up in skydiving gear and your professional skydiving instructors will run through a few "dirt dives" – practice skydiving exits. You'll also be taught the skydiving basics of canopy control and safe landing procedures. Once you're confident with this skydiving knowledge you'll enjoy a 20-minute flight to an altitude of up to 12,000 feet where, after a final check, it's time to hop out and take the quick way down – straight onto the beach!  The beauty of tandem skydiving is that it requires none of the usual intensive skydiving training, but offers 100 percent of the mind-blowing, 200km/hr open-air thrill. The feeling is often described as floating on a cushion of air as 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 most incredible views – perfect for reflecting on the high-adrenalin skydiving adventure you've just enjoyed. During the five-minute glide to earth, you'll be taught to control your direction and descent speed and, once you touch down, you'll be on a high for weeks – guaranteed.
