About This Experience

Experience the thrill of freefall from up to 15,000ft above Airlie Beach and the Whitsunday Islands. Soaring almost 220km/h, you'll take in spectacular views of the ocean, Hayman and Hamilton Island, and the Great Barrier Reef before the parachute opens and you glide back to earth.

Conveniently located at Whitsunday Airport — just 10 minutes from Airlie Beach — with local transfers included. This is the skydive experience the Whitsundays was made for.

Weight limit: Guests weighing 94kg or more will be assessed by the Drop Zone Safety Officer on arrival. If you are 110kg or more you may not be able to skydive at certain locations — call 1300 821 626 before booking. Ages 16–18 require parental or legal guardian consent. No alcohol to be consumed in the 8 hours prior to your skydive.
