When I stopped by, they didnt even want to give me the time of day after finding out I didnt want to make a tandem. I was a little upset, cause I am B licensed and have 200 jumps. It would have been nice to make a jump in such a beautiful place. Unfortunatly I have found that much of new zealand is not fun jumper friendly.

For a tandem skydive, this is the place to go in New Zealand! Very friendly staff, comfy plane and a dramatic postcard scenery. Oh and the 15 000ft option is a must!
Go for it!

It has been a couple years since I jumped in Wanaka, but I can assure anyone interested in jumping while in the area....THIS IS ONE JUMP YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS! If you watched "Lord of the Rings (1&2)" for the scenery (which I did)...than this makes good on ALL the majestic beauty you can't grasp from celluloid. The views on the way up are 360degrees of pure beauty. What isn't there to love about high mountains close-by, a huge, beautiful lake, and the S. Alps in the distance?!!! The group in Wanaka are very nice...I can only say that from a social point of view, as we were up there with our own plane (DCD!) taking advantage of their run-way for a boogie. But, the group from Wanaka made us feel very welcome, enjoyed many jumps with us, and even coordinated a few big ways with both planes. Next to the awesome memories I have of learning how to jump over the beautiful Otago Peninsula....these are the most STUNNING AERIALS in the WORLD!!

It is an amzing place but the dropzone is just a small hanger at Wanaka Airport. I called up and was told you need at least a B licence, I told them I had 120 jumps and an A licence and they said I could not jump, harsh.
