Overview
Experience the thrill of tandem skydiving with a professional instructor over North Wollongong Beach beach, located just south of Sydney. Safely attached to your skydiving instructor, jump at 15,000 feet (4,572 meters) and feel the adrenaline rush of a 60-second freefall before the parachute opens and you glide down to earth. This small-group experience limits the numbers to nine people, ensuring customized attention from your instructor.
- Unmatched views of the NSW Coastline, Mountains, and Beaches. A breathtaking perspective you won’t find anywhere else, touch down on the sand for a picture-perfect finish.

What To Expect
Travel from Sydney to Wollongong, a seaside city known for its great beaches, surfing, food, bars, and shops. You have the option to drive to the drop zone yourself, perhaps taking the scenic Grand Pacific Drive, or you can choose transfers from Sydney.
When you meet your professional skydiving instructor, get started with introductions and a thorough safety briefing. Hear details about how the jump proceeds then put on the provided skydiving gear, including protective goggles and a harness. If friends want to watch you jump, they can head to a designated viewing area (please arrange when booking as there is an extra fee for companion transfers).
A short flight takes you up to jump altitude. Marvel at the coastal scenery below you with clear views of the southern Sydney beaches, Illawarra, and Royal National Park. When your plane reaches optimum altitude, your instructor securely fastens your harnesses together and gets ready for takeoff. Gather up your courage and jump with your instructor, feeling the adrenaline course through you as you freefall at high speed for about one minute. Then your instructor releases the parachute and you float gently for about five to seven minutes before touching down on terra firma.
Your skydiving experience is commemorated with a complimentary skydive certificate, and you have the option to purchase video and photo packages of your jump.
After, you can find plenty of great options to celebrate at nearby beaches, cafes, bars and more, or you can return to Sydney with the provided transportation.

Great experience skydiving for the 1st time! Luke was a great instructor and guided me through the whole process. We were able to take great pictures and videos. This is an amazing way to see the beautiful views of the city and beach. Mario was a great tour guide who picked us up from Sydney and pointed out some views and Kangaroos that we can see from the highway. He was a great tour guide and really made sure that we all had the best time possible. Highly recommend this activity for anyone visiting Australia!

It was raining the night before and I messaged them asking if they will let me know if cancelled prior to the 0650 departure no response. I went to departure and was told cancelled that day due to weather. I then messaged trying to reschedule and they responded hours later they did but no transportation I then replied asking for the address to taxi there and no response. I did not get refunded for this. They were quick to respond once they had my money then ghost mode. Be weary

Absolutely amazing experience, felt very confident with my team and I would 100% recommend them and you willl have the best jump x
Kevin_W, Mar 2025
This was a bucket list activity.
Being picked up from Sydney made it so easy & convenient.
The staff were all great, inspired confidence and made it an unforgettable experience.
Jumping over the Wollongong was beautiful. I loved seeing the hills and the beach - incredible.
Remember if you are on any medication you need to bring a letter from your family doctor to say you’re fit to jump.
Katie_R, Nov 2024
Incredible time, safe & fantastic jumpers and crew! It was a lot of wait time, but that’s to be expected. The jump process itself took around 20-30 minutes, so super quick. Lots of money to do an experience like that, but so worth it! It was me & my husband’s 1st time skydiving together (we’ve done it previously before) ☺️
Aleksandra_C, Oct 2024
From start to finish great experience would highly recommend. Professional crew and really explained the whole process
Rosemary_B, Nov 2023
The team were excellent in the whole experience. Safety and their experienced instructors were the very best.
Would highly recommend this company to jump with..
Ravindra_S, Jan 2023
The whole was just wonderful. From booking it on Viator, contact the tour operator, discussing about pickup/drop off, and doing the activity.
Woody, who I jumped with was amazing. This was absolutely value of money. Seeing the world from 15000 ft above and then the jump is just breath taking. I would highly recommend doing it.

Super unusual experience ! Anyone seeking special activity in Australia we recommend this a lot !!!!
Archi_S, Nov 2022

Wollongong and surrounds make for a spectacular view.

First time doing sky diving, coach name Dan, he was perfectly made me felt so comfortable jumped and enjoying the sky. He asked me also controlling the parachute for 5mins. Overall great experienced, despite of I felt sorry not wearing long shirt, very cold up there
Arnel_A, Feb 2018
This is really cool! I did it and i love to do it again. The experienced is beyond compare. When you're up there it wasn't really scary. Enjoy the view from the top, blue ocean and nice beach. Try it... a lifetime experienced that you won't regret.
Alyssa D, Sep 2017
This was a great experience and not nearly as scary as I thought it would be! The view of the beach and coast during the jump was beautiful and the instructors are all very nice! I was with John and he was great!!
bijou789, May 2017
Incredible experience! Highly recommend skydiving with this company! I wish I had known it would be an all day event left Sydney around 9am and returned around 6:30pm but the beach is beautiful and there is a cafe close by so I made the most of the day!
Abigail Marie L, Mar 2017
I highly recommend this tour! It was such a memorable experience for both of us. Although they gave us the wrong USB for the video/photo package we bought for my husband. I already sent an email to skydive Australia and informed them. I hope we can get an email confirmation soon.
Carl P, Dec 2016
Some hidden costs, can't use your own go pro, but the experience is one of a kind. Great customer service and communication.
Heather H, Dec 2016
Skydiving Australia is amazing! The Wollongong location is gorgeous from the sky. My instructor was Scott and he really focused on making sure everything was okay with my harness and preparing me for the jump. I was so nervous and my instructor definitely helped calm my nerves. Scott went beyond my standards when getting footage pictures and video of the jump and recorded prior to getting on the plane, while on the plane, views from the plane, and the entire skydive experience. I would recommend this trip and company to anyone. It was an experience I will never forget. I would definitely skydive with them again if I visit the area again. I loved it!
Leah B, Oct 2016
Fantastic day for a jump! Riss was an amazing Tandem-Master...had a great jump with her!!!!
Phang W, Sep 2016
Absolute outstanding ... Awesome experience with friendly Instructor ..
Sivakanth D, Sep 2016
Lifetime experience. Definitely tops of the list. Hurtling down at 200kmph and then the sudden tug as the parachute opens...literally flying in the air and then having a smooth landing.. worth every penny spent and then a lot more... luke my instructor was great and he even allowed me to handle the parachute for a minute....will definitely try this again...
Qiana G, Jul 2016
I truly enjoyed this experience. There was a wait after the dive that I wish was eliminated, perhaps having a shuttle that runs more than once to take people back to the drop off locations would be awesome. However, beyond that I loved the experience and THANK YOU Luke for being an awesome guide!
Lauren P, Nov 2015
Most incredible experience of my life. The company and instructors were brilliant, can't rate this highly enough!
Niamh R, Nov 2015
I thoroughly enjoyed this activity - even though I was terrified! My instructor Rob was brilliant and did his best to ease my nerves. Would definitely recommend to a friend.
