About this tour
A tandem skydive over Rottnest Island where you'll freefall for up to 66 seconds before parachuting down to land directly on the beach. You're strapped to an experienced instructor throughout, with views across the island, Perth skyline and WA coastline. This 2.5-hour experience suits thrill-seekers aged 16+ with moderate fitness who want a genuine adrenaline rush — not a scenic flight. Weather-dependent and subject to weight restrictions (up to 95 kg standard, with case-by-case approval to 110 kg).
Highlights
- Up to 66 seconds of freefall strapped to a certified tandem instructor
- Five-minute parachute descent with unobstructed views of Rottnest Island
- Beach landing on sand rather than landing zone
- Views of Perth City skyline and WA coastline during climb to altitude
- APF membership included with your jump
- Optional video and photo packages available for purchase on the day
What to expect
You'll arrive at Rottnest Island and complete a safety briefing with your tandem instructor. You'll board the aircraft and climb to jumping altitude while taking in the expansive coastal views. At altitude, you'll exit the plane harnessed to your instructor and experience up to 66 seconds of freefall before the parachute deploys. You'll then spend roughly five minutes under canopy, descending towards the beach with clear sightlines of the island below. You'll land on the sand itself rather than a typical drop zone, concluding the experience on the beach.
The full outing runs 2.5 hours from start to finish. Weather checks are mandatory at least an hour before your ferry departure, and the jump may be postponed or rescheduled if conditions aren't suitable.

Good to know
This is ideal for adventure seekers aged 16+ (under-18s need a parent or guardian present) who are comfortable with calculated risk and have at least moderate fitness. Not suitable if you have spinal injuries, cardiovascular conditions, seizure disorders, heart conditions, are pregnant, or weigh over 95 kg without pre-approval (those 95–110 kg require prior team sign-off with height/weight details). Weather is a major variable — skydiving is cancelled or postponed if conditions are unsafe, so build flexibility into your travel plans. Transport to and from the island is not included; public ferries serve Rottnest. Video and photos cost extra. APF membership is covered in the price.
