About this tour
A tandem skydive over North Wollongong Beach with a professional instructor, jumping from up to 15,000 feet for roughly one minute of free fall, then gliding under parachute over the NSW coastline before landing on sand. The 4-hour experience includes round-trip coach transport from Sydney (1 hour away) and covers a small group of up to eight jumpers. You'll get a certificate, loyalty card and insurance, but video and photos cost extra.

What to expect
You'll be picked up from Sydney in the morning and driven one hour to the drop zone near Wollongong. After arriving, you'll receive safety briefing and professional instruction from your tandem master, covering equipment, body position and landing procedure. You'll board the aircraft together, ascending to altitude over the coast.
At the jump point, you'll exit the plane harnessed to your instructor and experience roughly 60 seconds of free fall at terminal velocity before the parachute deploys. You'll then spend several more minutes drifting under canopy, taking in views of the beach and headlands. You'll touch down on the sand, collect your certificate and loyalty card, then return to Sydney by late afternoon.

Good to know
This suits anyone aged 16+ (with parental consent if under 18) seeking a high-adrenaline, single-event experience with professional supervision and minimal prep required. Not suitable if you have spinal injuries, are pregnant, have poor cardiovascular health, or weigh over 110 kg (a surcharge applies from 94 kg). The experience is weather-dependent — flights may be postponed or cancelled in poor conditions. Video and photo packages are not included and must be purchased separately at the drop zone. The 4-hour window covers transport, briefing and jump; factor in potential delays. Weekend and public holiday rates differ and are payable direct. This is a real risk activity — read the inherent risk statement carefully.
