Airlie Beach up to 8,000ft Tandem Skydive

Experience the complete exhilaration of Airlie Beach tandem skydiving from up to 8,000ft with a beach landing to top it off. Soak up incredible views of the Whitsundays as you jump over the islands and Airlie Beach before your beach landing on the beautiful Midge Point Beach. You'll be strapped to a tandem instructor who will take care of all the technical aspects, all you need to do is jump!

Skydiving is known as life's ultimate thrill, and it really is. Before your jump you'll have some practice time and you'll also be taught the skydiving basics of canopy control and safe landing procedures. Once you're confident you'll enjoy a 20-minute flight to an altitude of up to 8,000 feet (over 4,200 metres) where, after a final check, it's time to hop out and take the quick way down – skydiving to the beach!

The feeling is incomparable as you hurtle 7,500 feet through the sky for up to 60 seconds. The skydiving parachute is deployed at around 4,500 feet, offering an intensely serene experience and one of the world's greatest views – perfect for reflecting on the high-adrenaline skydiving adventure you've just enjoyed. During the five-minute glide to earth you'll be taught to control your direction and descent speed as you float over incredible views of the Whitsundays.

With your Australian Parachute Federation Levy is included in the price, all you need to do is show up and get ready for your half day tandem skydiving adventure from Airlie Beach. There's no high quite like the extreme adrenaline rush of skydiving.
