Lima made this experience unforgettable! His explanations during the jumps were clear, professional, and incredibly helpful, which made me feel confident and enjoy every moment even more. The location is absolutely stunning and without a doubt the most beautiful place to skydive here. If you’re considering it, don’t hesitate, this is a must-book experience. Highly recommended!

Skydiving over New Zealand’s South Island was the most unforgettable part of my trip—a memory I’ll treasure forever. Soaring through the sky and taking in the breathtaking views below was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Diego, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and professionalism. You made me feel safe and at ease, allowing me to fully enjoy every moment. I’ll always look back on this incredible day with a smile. Thank you for making it so special! 🪂💙
My first skydiving experience (9.000ft) exceeded all my expectations! Skydiving had been on my bucket list since childhood, so this day meant a lot to me. My instructor, Andrew, explained everything clearly, and I felt completely comfortable and safe with him! He captured so many amazing photos and videos, both during freefall and under the parachute. The feeling of falling and then being so smoothly and safely carried by the parachute was simply indescribable. I absolutely loved every second of it, and my only regret is not having done it much sooner! The atmosphere at the check-in and at the dropzone was very relaxed, so I never really had a chance to get nervous beforehand. There was a fairly long wait at the dropzone (over an hour), but it actually gave me plenty of time to get familiar with everything at my own pace. I could watch the other groups getting ready, taking off, and eventually returning with their parachutes open, and even browse the merch shop for a bit. At first, I was a little disappointed that the "Ultimate Combo" photo&video package wasn't available, presumably because there were no professional photographers on site that day. However, I have to say that, looking back, I'm still really happy with the photos and videos captured by the GoPro mounted on Andrew's wrist! I've come away with some incredibly cool memories. The whole experience couldn't have been better! I will definitely be jumping again. Without a doubt, this was the best thing I've ever done in my life! A huge thank you to the entire team - to everyone who prepared the skydiving experience so well, helped with getting geared up etc., and especially to my instructor Andrew and to Anthony (my boyfriend's instructor)! Thank you so much for this incredible experience - it has enriched my life :-)
This was a really fun experience. Angus is a great instructor! Face your fears and skydive at NZONE!
Great activity and amazing staff from NZONE. The videos and pictures are also superb! I got mine in less than 2 hrs. Thank you so much for a memorable experience.
Amazing experience, lovely tandem masters, very effectively run service. Felt very safe.
Great experience I’ve been skydiving 3 times this was definitely the best. It takes about 3 hours that’s very normal for a skydive. Views are amazing. Shuttle buses are a little inconvenient on timing dive to the facility if you are able to but if not the shuttle is perfect if you don’t have a car.
Amazing, friendly experience i would recommend if possible on the day to purchase the full video/pic package. Great videos and shots, professionally done mid air !!
Incredible experience and insane views- would recommend! From start to finish, everything was so well organised. Angus and the team made the experience exciting while still making you feel comfortable and safe. I would 100% recommend Angus and NZone to anyone thinking about doing a skydive in Queenstown!!
The entire experience was incredible. The staff were friendly and professional and it was clear that safety was a priority. It was my first skydive, at 15000 ft. The views were amazing and my skydive master was very friendly and calm. Would definitely recommend
Amazing experience with NZone Skydiving! Process was seamless and professional from signing up to the jump! Training, transportation and suiting up were efficient but not hurried. My jumpmaster, Luke, was fantastic! Explained the whole process and put any fears to rest. He was friendly and professional, and took an awesome video! The jump site could not have been more beautiful! I can't imagine a better experience, it was one of the best days of my life!
It’s really amazing experience. Must try!!! Everything so good since start to the end. My skydive instructor Linley really friendly and nice.
I had an incredible experience doing the 15,000 ft skydive with Chris as my birthday adventure.From the moment we met, Chris was friendly, professional, and made me feel completely at ease. The skydive itself was absolutely incredible. The freefall was such an adrenaline rush and the views were amazing. Chris made the whole experience so much fun while making sure I felt safe the entire time. A huge shoutout to the rest of the team too. They were all so friendly, welcoming and made the atmosphere really relaxed and enjoyable.
It was such an incredible experience and the perfect way to spend my last day before getting a year older! Being able to tick off the very top item on my bucket list was unforgettable, and NZONE Skydive made it all possible. The entire process was seamless, from check-in to the shuttle ride back to the drop-off area. Every staff member was warm and welcoming, especially Bubbles, who did an amazing job calming my nerves 😂. A special shoutout to my tandem master, Chris, who was incredibly kind and professional. I really appreciated how calm and reassuring he was throughout the experience—it perfectly balanced the whirlwind of emotions I was feeling before the jump and made me feel completely at ease. Despite the freezing weather, jumping from 15,000 feet with the breathtaking snow-capped mountains below was an experience I’ll never forget. The views were absolutely spectacular! Overall, I highly recommend NZONE Skydive to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure. You all deserve a 100/100 rating—thank you for making this a memory I’ll cherish forever! 🙌🏼 Will be back for sure!
NZone were professional and made clear all the safety requirements for making the jump safe and fun. I jumped with my two sons and they both had a blast … they are thinking of doing a course to go solo now! Lima was my instructor. He was clear with his instructions, fun and gave a great aerial tour on decent. I definitely recommend NZone as an amazing way to see the beauty of Queenstown with the adrenaline to add!
One of the best experiences of my life! I felt nervous until I got into the place then saw the view and felt excited. The feeling you get from jumping out is indescribable, can’t recommend getting the video package enough to save the memory.
Fantastic company! This skydive is rated on the internet as one of the best in the world and that is certainly true here! Beautiful views! Exhilerating freefall! A must-do for once in a lifetime. They also help calm your anxiety for how fun they make it. Once you leave the airplane, it's all fun on the way down!
Amazing experience! Cannot recommend enough honestly! The staff were friendly and made sure everyone was relaxed and ready to go, which made the trip really enjoyable, as I was a BIT nervous. The instructor for my dive was Lima, and he was incredible, kind and encouraging and just the best hype man for this kinda thing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I did the 8:00 AM skydive session with NZone in Queenstown on May 4th, and it was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. Huge thanks to my instructor Tim! Tim was incredibly professional, patient, and friendly from the very beginning. He guided me through everything clearly and made me feel completely safe and relaxed before the jump. During the skydive, he even showed me how to spin at high speed in the sky — it was such an exciting and amazing feeling! He also did an excellent job with the photos and video. The pictures and footage turned out absolutely gorgeous, and I’m so happy to have these memories captured so perfectly. Thank you again, Tim, for making my first skydive such an incredible experience. I would highly recommend NZone Queenstown, especially if you get the chance to jump with Tim!
An excellent experience with my skydiving instructor Lima. He explained every detailed procedure clearly in advance, which brought me a strong sense of security throughout the whole experience. Lima is extremely patient, trustworthy and professional. He is good at finding great camera angles to take photos, and all the shots look fantastic and perfect. I had an unforgettable and amazing time!
We were in New Zealand checking off a lot of bucket list goals did this jump with my 11-year-old than my wife. When in New Zealand, go skydiving! One of the most
Amazing, easy, fun, well organized! First time skydiving with an amazing view. The saying go big or go home, do the 15,000 ft longer air time and incredible experience skydiving then a paragliding view. 100% safe and fun!
After all the health and safety checks have been completed the real action began. After being geared up the plane ride to the jump takes about 15 mins which was a good ride with views of the lake and mt remarkable ranges. The jump it self takes about 5 mins till you reach the ground. I had a good instructor who made me feel calm. The free fall is so quick it finished before I could take it all in and the landing was so smooth.
Skyzone has a Great team, which really helped with my nerves as It was my first time skydiving. Thank you for a wonderful experience
Nzone Skydive was amazing, staff were extremely effecient and made me go from feeling very nervous to feeling extremely excited. My tandem partner was just so fantastic, reassuring and pointed out some cool locations. Anybody doing a skydive, I would highly recommend 15000ft, so well worth it.
The best. I had a great fun doing skydiving here. Staff was very nice and my instructor was very supportive which made the whole experience great. I am not scared of heights anymore. Most do experience once or maybe many times in life.
A well organized adventure and amazing experience. Very professional team and recommend this to all.
The experience was amazing overall, and the view was spectacular! The only downside was that i felt dizzy during the free fall because we were turning left and right often (though that might just be personal preference). Instructor was there throughout the experience, and while the process felt independent, everything went smoothly in the end.
This was honestly the best thing I’ve ever done in my life. I went with my girlfriend, they kept us together in the same jumping group, were super helpful, and made us feel so safe! It was such an amazing experience and everything from the beginning to the end was truly 100/10. Super easy process, straightforward, and they ease your nerves if you have any. We felt super safe and comfortable the whole time! Highly recommend!!
It is a once in a life time experience. A must do from Queenstown. It was simply superb. It was superbly managed... everything went on seamlessly.
Amazing experience with NZONE Skydive in Queenstown! My instructor Lima was extremely professional and made me feel safe and relaxed the entire time. He clearly explained every step, performed careful safety checks, and constantly reassured me before and during the jump. He also pointed out the incredible scenery so I could fully enjoy the breathtaking views instead of feeling nervous. Everything was well organized and smooth from start to finish. Truly an unforgettable experience — highly recommend to anyone visiting Queenstown!
Didn't get to Jump. I am 65 years young & quite fit for my age. 18months ago I suffered a HA, a close call. This year my fiancee, as a surprised, bought online a tandem jump voucher with NZONE Queenstown. So on NZone's web page, you click on BOOK NOW, then you SCROLL down & under Conditions there are only 3 things listed: 1:If you are 95kgs or over please refer to our FAQ page 2:The minimum weight is 40kg/88lbs and all passengers must be big enough to fit safely into the harness 3:Minimum age is 6 years old. Other conditions may apply for children. Please refer to our FAQ page for full details Below is the only reference to pre existing (with NO time limit) or existing medical conditions. - Medical Conditions: NZONE must be notified prior to the jump date of any pre-existing or existing medical conditions, injuries or illnesses. You will also be asked when you check in and may require an assessment from our Safety Officer. Medical conditions which could affect the customer’s safety should be discussed with a doctor to ensure customers are fit to skydive. If required, bring a medical certificate with you from your doctor confirming you are okay to participate in a skydive. Please advise NZONE if you are taking prescription medication. It is our obligation to inform you that if you are experiencing cold or flu symptoms or blocked sinuses on the day of your skydive, it may potentially lead to further health complications during or after your jump, and we urge you to proceed with caution. So does pre existing incude my knee reconstruction from 25 years ago? By my own volition I notified them of the heart attack I suffered 18 months ago. They stated I need clearence from my Dr, then a review by their medical team before I could jump. All done and booked a date, however my Cardio specialist advised not to jump so I cancelled the date. I then sought a refund from NZONE as I wasn't coming back tio NZ anytime soon & I could not transfer it. They kept referring to the terms & conditions. So their entire website only refers to the 3 previously mentioned things. Their T&Cs do make reference to Medical conditions but does not specifically identify any scenario let alone serious ones eg Heart coindtions. Long story short we sought a refund & got a deny deny deny then 6 weeks further on all further corrospondence was just ignored. It seems once they have your money they are not much interested in anything else. My advice is if you want do this with this company then talk to them in person and ask all the Qs to ensure clarity. I further suggest NZONE tidy up their website and T&Cs & be more specific given this is a significant sport
Weather cancels more trips than actually depart. Good luck but don’t count on it.
It really was an exciting and unforgettable memory for me. Thank for my coach Helinton. He makes sure that I had a really comfortable experience. He is really nice and kind and humorous. When I was afraid, he made me feel safe. Thanks all of you. I will always remember the beautiful day.
It was really awesome. We enjoyed every bit of the experience and it was well worth the money. Also, the photos and videos we got afterwards were amazing. I went with my 13-year-old son and we both had a blast. I would highly recommend it, and would definitely do it again!
Great experience. It was amazing and very easy to book. My son and my husband loved the whole thing.
Awesome experience! It was a beautiful day to skydive and these people are the experts! Would recommend to anyone visiting Queenstown for a bird view of the town
NZONE is a great operation. The people at checkin were friendly and helpful, the transport to the jump zone was comfortable, and the crew on the ground were amazing.
My partner and I jumped with Will and Lima who were both excellent. Made us feel very safe and made the experience so much fun. Definitely a must do when in Queenstown
Friendly and fun vibes when walking into the reception and the same at the drop zone. Staff was very helpful and assuring and special shoutout to Jarod who was my tandem master, extremely awesome guy who gave me confidence the whole way. The actual skydive experience was breathtaking and something you won’t regret. Would do it again!
Amazing view and high safety. Would definitely do it again in Queenstown. Instructors are also well trained.
Incredible experience as a first time skydiver! The guides made you feel comfortable and at ease and the whole process is so smooth as an entire operation! Plus the views are just *remarkable*
Very good experience! Only one hiccup was the experience getting delayed 2-3 times due to weather and a long 1-1.5 hr wait time at the base, otherwise the overall experience was amazing.
SO MUCH FUN!! The views were incredible - from the plane and on the way down! The entire experience was professionally handled. We felt safe, informed and prepared. The staff was fun too!! The photo/video package was so worth it for the amazing memories. My cousin's first jump ever and now he's ready for more! Just do it!
My family of 4 booked the tandem skyjump from 12000 feet and it was one of the best adventure experiences for us. Booking on the Viator website was easy. We were lucky with the weather and were able to do the skyjump on the scheduled day (just got delayed by 30 minutes). The positives - The skyjump tandem instructors are knowledgeable and they make every effort to ease our fears. They gave easy and clear instructions and video recorded the entire experience. We felt safe and comfortable to do the jump despite being our first time ever. The skyjump location in Queenstown is breathtaking with a beautiful view of the mountains, the lake and the greenery all around. Things that can be improved - The debrief can be given at the sky jump location itself instead of insisting us to visit their store in downtown for 30 minutes and then heading to the dropzone. The debrief video itself can be posted on the website for all the jumpers to view before hand and avoid waiting time. The price of the video recording can be reduced especially when compared to the jump itself. All in all still a worthy adventure experience that anyone visiting Queenstown must do.
I never imagined I’d go skydiving—but I gathered some courage and went for it! NZone manages the entire experience with absolute professionalism. The instructors are true experts and make you feel completely at ease. If you’re on the fence, just do it. The feeling after the jump and landing is incredible. Honestly, it’s only uncomfortable for about 20 seconds, and once the parachute opens, it becomes peaceful, with stunning views all around. It’s an unforgettable experience. Go for it! 🪂
Nzone Skydive is one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had in my lifetime! First of all, I would like to thank the manager Alex for being so accommodating with the circumstances that we had in regards to our flight and the cancellations, and without him we wouldn't have been to even do the skydive in the first place. Additionally, I would like to thank my tandem, Lima! He was an amazing instructor and was hyping me up the whole way! This is a must do in Queenstown and a once in a lifetime experience! Thank you NZone!
Incredible family activity with nice infrastructure, experienced coaches and feeling reassured all the way
It was a very good experience. Me and my daughters took 12,000 feet dive and my wife took 9,000 feet dive. Personally I don't feel a difference between 9k and 12k fall (It is a matter of few additional seconds of fall but a huge difference on the cost). The staff in NZone were very friendly and it was a smooth and safe jump for all of us.
Lima was so great! He prepared me step by step for every part of my first flight. I’d definitely fly with him again! My teen girls went with Jarod and Jakob. They had a blast! Very professional staff. Great experience!
