Skydive Byron Bay

About this experience

Book a tandem skydive in Byron Bay and soar over some of Australia's most spectacular scenery. Strapped to an expert skydiver, you leap from up to 15,000 feet, freefall at more than 200 km/h for up to 60 seconds, then float under the canopy for five to seven minutes while beaches and hinterland stretch out below you, all the way to the Gold Coast and beyond. Local hotel transfers are included. What happens on a Byron Bay tandem skydive? After you arrive at the drop zone, your instructor walks you through what to expect and fits your harness. You then board the plane and climb to altitude, watching the coastline shrink beneath you. At up to 15,000 feet, you exit together and drop into up to 60 seconds of freefall, the ultimate rush. When the parachute opens, everything goes quiet and you glide for five to seven minutes, with time to take in the views before a smooth landing back at the exclusive, self-contained drop zone. The views from 15,000 feet Byron Bay is one of the most scenic places in the country to jump. On the long way down, you look out over golden beaches, the lighthouse headland and green hinterland, with views on a clear day all the way to Brisbane and the Gold Coast. It is a memorable way to see the region, whether it is your first skydive or one of many. Getting there and how long it takes Local hotel transfers are included: choose your pickup location at checkout. If you travel independently, head to Skydive Byron Bay, Pacific Highway, Hangar 1, Byron Bay NSW 2481, and show your smartphone ticket on arrival. Allow about four hours for the whole experience, including check-in, briefing, the flight and the jump. Your instructor speaks English. Weight limits and safety tips Surcharges apply for guests weighing more than 94 kg, payable on site, and rise in bands above that weight. Remove any loose items before your skydive, including dentures or false teeth. Wear comfortable clothes and closed shoes, eat a light meal beforehand, and bring sunscreen for the wait on the ground. A photo and video package is not included in this ticket. Is a tandem skydive right for first-timers? Yes, that is exactly what tandem skydiving is for. You are attached to an experienced instructor for the whole jump, so you do not need any previous training or experience; your job is to listen to the briefing, follow a few simple instructions and enjoy the ride. The instructor handles the exit, the parachute and the landing. Many people describe the freefall as less like falling and more like flying, and the quiet canopy ride afterwards gives you a chance to catch your breath and take in the coastline before you touch down. More adventures in Byron Bay Keep the adrenaline going or slow things down with a dolphin kayak tour, a surfing lesson on Byron's famous breaks, or a sunrise hot air balloon flight.
