Overview

Feel the rush of jumping out of a plane and reaching speeds of up to 220km/h, then gliding peacefully over the wineries with views of Port Philip Bay, the Dandenongs and Melbourne City!

Our tandem jump masters have completed thousands of jumps and are members of the Australian Parachute Federation.

We start with a 15 minute briefing - what to expect and what you will see on the plane flight to height, in freefall, under canopy and upon landing.


Once the briefing is over, it will be time to gear up in preparation for your skydive experience. You will be given a jumpsuit and your instructor will fit you into a harness.

You will walk out to the plane and there you will conduct your practice exits. Once all the ground preparation has been completed, it is time to get in the plane and get ready for take-off!

As we leave the airfield, you will be treated to a scenic tour of the Yarra Valley and the Dandenong ranges as well as the city of Melbourne and Port Phillip Bay.

upon leaving the plane, you and your tandem master will accelerate through the air reaching terminal velocity - 220km/h.

Freefall feels like riding a cushion of air similar to riding a big wave. In freefall, your senses will be able to take in views as far as the eye can see. Then finally it's time to pull your parachute open.

From the loud rushing of air that you hear all around you, the parachute ride is very different as you sail around the sky, still gliding.

The landing is easy, just lift your legs! The parachute will glide and you will eventually put your feet down to land.

Afterwards, enjoy a delicious wine tasting and receive a free DVD to commemorate your jump.
