Skydive Auckland is a tandem skydiving operator based at Parakai, north-west Auckland, at 73 Green Road. Its main offer is a tandem skydive from 18,000 feet, with up to 75 seconds of freefall at more than 200 km/h, followed by a parachute ride. The website says the views take in both coastlines, Waiheke Island, Great Barrier Island and Mt Ruapehu. It also offers a 13,000-foot option and a 20,000-foot option.
Visitors need comfortable clothing and secure shoes. Free transport from Auckland City is offered, subject to availability and for direct bookings only. There is no upper age limit, but the minimum weight is 30 kg, under-18s need parental consent, and the 18,000-foot jump is for those 12 and over. Allow about three hours for the experience, or 5.5 hours including return transport from the city. Weather can change, so the website asks people to check their skydive status before booking. A viewing deck lets friends and family watch the landing. Customers in the website's reviews praise the instructors as calm, friendly and safe.
