About this tour
Launch into freefall above Byron Bay's coastline with a tandem skydive that pairs you with a certified instructor for the entire jump. You'll ascend to 15,000 feet, experience 60 seconds of unrestricted freefall, then glide under canopy for five minutes as the beaches and hinterland unfold below. The full experience runs 3.5 hours, including a scenic flight over the bay, professional ground training, and all federation levies.

What to expect
Arrive at the dropzone for a safety briefing and gear fitting with your tandem instructor. You'll board a light aircraft for a 20-minute climb, taking in views of Byron Bay's beaches and surrounding terrain during ascent. At altitude, final checks happen quickly—then the door opens and you're out, experiencing weightlessness for a full minute before your instructor deploys the parachute. The descent is peaceful by comparison, giving you time to absorb the views and ask questions. Total ground-to-landing time is around 3.5 hours. Note: video and photos are extra; arrange at the dropzone.
