Our Abel Tasman Skydive base is located in the heart of Motueka, offering you some of New Zealand’s most epic scenery. We’re proud to be the only dropzone in the country that can offer you mind-blowing views of both the North and South Islands from the clearest skies. With views of mountains, rivers, oceans, and the Abel Tasman National Park, this is the ultimate skydive location!
Over the last 25 years, we’ve shared the unforgettable experience of skydiving over Abel Tasman with nearly 100,000 customers, earning a worldwide reputation as one of the most epic places to skydive. Our team takes immense pride in offering the best skydiving experience—both in the sky and on the ground. We’ve developed unique ways to capture your skydive with multi-angled HD photography and video, so you can relive the moment forever.
“Skydiving in Abel Tasman is like no other. With mountains, rivers, the ocean, and the Abel Tasman National Park, there’s no other place in New Zealand where you can see all of this in one jump.”
If you’re feeling nervous, don’t worry! Our Tandem Masters are highly experienced, with each of us completing over 1,000 jumps (far surpassing the required 750). We know how to put you at ease and add a little fun to the process—we’ve been known to take humor to great heights. If there were a University Degree in Humor, all our crew members would have honorary PhDs.
Have the Best Day of Your Life!
