From Sydney: Tandem Skydive Experience over Newcastle Beach
Overview
Experience an unforgettable adrenaline rush with a tandem skydive over the Hunter Region, just north of Sydney. Freefall from altitude at speeds of over 220 km/h (130 mph) before your instructor deploys the parachute, turning the rush into a smooth, scenic descent.
Enjoy breathtaking aerial views of Lake Macquarie, Newcastle, the sparkling coastline, pristine beaches, and rolling hinterland. From above, see Newcastle - Australia’s oldest seaport and home to one of the world’s largest export harbours.
Easy return transfers from Sydney mean less time on the road and more time in the air, making your experience seamless.
Friends and family are welcome to watch from the Newcastle Dropzone, where spectators can see your landing and capture incredible photos as you tick off this once-in-a-lifetime bucket list experience.
