Depart from Cairns city and enjoy a tandem skydive from up to 4,570 meters, overlooking the Great Barrier Reef and the rainforest. After a 15-minute scenic flight to altitude, freefall for up to 60 seconds at over 200 km/h, then open the parachute and drift slowly down while gazing at the reef and coastline. Experienced CASA-certified instructors guide you from the briefing to the landing, so first-timers are welcome. The drop zone is about 20 minutes from the city, so you can quickly return to the Esplanade and enjoy the rest of your day.

Get picked up in Cairns city
and head to the drop zone
Use the round-trip transfer from designated locations in Cairns city to reach the drop zone, about 20 minutes from the city. Every tandem jump is led by an experienced CASA-certified instructor who guides you through each step while you stay securely attached from the ground briefing to the landing.
Climb up to 4,570 meters on a 15-minute scenic flight

As the plane climbs, the Coral Sea shifts from bright turquoise to deep blue and the reef spreads out below like a mosaic. On the other side, the rainforest of Tropical North Queensland stretches up to the mountains.
Freefall for up to 60 seconds
and glide down under the parachute

With the Great Barrier Reef on one side and the rainforest on the other, freefall for up to 60 seconds at over 200 km/h. Once the parachute opens, descend slowly over the reef, coastline, and rainforest, with the option to steer the parachute yourself.
Return to the Esplanade after landing

After landing, receive your skydiving certificate and take the transfer back to the Cairns Esplanade. Since the drop zone is close to the city, the return trip is short, leaving plenty of time to stroll the Esplanade, swim in the lagoon, or have lunch near the marina.
※ Jump spots are limited each day and may sell out early on weekends, public holidays, and in peak season. Sunrise jumps are also limited.
