What to expect
You'll arrive, complete a brief ground briefing with your instructor, then board the aircraft for a climb to altitude. The freefall itself lasts around 60 seconds—your instructor controls the parachute deployment and landing. Expect your heart to pound hard, your adrenaline to spike, and your perspective on fear to shift. The ride back down under parachute is calmer, giving you time to take in the sprawl of coast and bushland below. You'll touch down on Coolum Beach, collect your certificate, and likely still be buzzing hours later.
