About this tour

A tandem skydive over the Gold Coast where you'll jump from altitude with a qualified instructor, taking in views of beaches, canals and city before landing on Kirra beach. The 2.5-hour experience includes ground training and all fees. Suitable for most fitness levels, though weight restrictions apply (max 115kg) and it's not recommended for those with spinal injuries, pregnancy, or serious heart conditions.

Highlights

  • Jump tandem with experienced instructor from International Airport
  • Views of Gold Coast beaches, waterways and urban landscape during freefall
  • Land directly on Kirra beach rather than airfield
  • Ground training and safety briefing included before jump
  • Wheelchair accessible; service animals welcome
  • All skydive fees and taxes included in price

What to expect

You'll arrive at the Gold Coast dropzone for a ground-based safety and technique briefing. Once trained, you'll board the aircraft with your tandem instructor and ascend to jump altitude while taking in the coastal scenery. After freefall, your instructor deploys the parachute and you'll descend under canopy with views across the Gold Coast before touching down on Kirra beach.

The whole experience, from arrival through landing and debrief, takes around 2.5 hours. Video and photo packages can be arranged separately at the office if you want a record of the jump.

Good to know

This is ideal for first-time skydivers and anyone wanting a major adrenaline rush with a structured, safe introduction. Ground training means no prior experience is needed. However, it's not suitable if you're pregnant, have spinal injuries, or significant cardiovascular issues. Weight limits are strict: contact the operator if you're over 95kg, and the absolute maximum is 115kg. If you're planning to scuba dive, leave at least 24 hours after your last dive before jumping. Video/photo packages are extra. Most fitness levels are fine, and the experience is wheelchair-accessible on the ground; infants can attend in prams.
