Highlights
  • 11 Spence St - A tandem sky dive is the perfect introduction to sky diving and what better place to do it then the tropical paradise of Far North Queensland.

Your highly trained instructor will give you a brief 15-minute safety and training session before you strap on your parachute and get ready for the flight of your life. Soaring to a height of up to 15,000ft, the drop zone is located between the reef and the rainforest for the best aerial views of Tropical North Queensland. Feel the exhilaration of a short freefall before the parachute is released and you float gently to the ground.

Nestled between the world-famous Great Barrier Reef and World Heritage listed rainforests, the views over Cairns are nothing short of spectacular. To the north lies the ancient Daintree Rainforest, to the west the Atherton Tablelands. The blue waters of the Coral Sea lie to the west, with Great Barrier Reef islands including Green Island and Fitzroy Island visible just off the coast. There’s no better way to see the natural beauty of the whole area in such a short time.

Photos and videos of your sky dive are available to purchase on the day, and roundtrip transport from Cairns hotels is included.

Everyone can skydive - Most amazing "tour" ever - handled by Skydive Australia c",) The crew in Cairns is utmost professional, you feel safe at all times, and the experience is simply mind blowing. I thought this would be a once-in-a-lifetime for me... but is now searching for options on how to skydive again - first tandem again, but later solo... If you are considering - then DO IT!!!

UK review - Absolutely amazing experience with an amazing company. From the moment you set foot in the main office to the big skydive itself the staff put you at ease. The skydivers were absolutely brilliant. You have to try this it is amazing and a feeling you can't get from anything else. Make sure you buy the video and picture package well worth the money.

So amazing!!! - What an AMAZING experience!! The staff were so friendly and made everyone feel comfortable. This was such a quick adventure there really wasn’t time to get nervous. They kept us engaged and moving. Everything from start to finish was an unreal experience. The staff do this so many times per day but they made sure your trip felt special and encouraged/congratulated you every step of the way. I can’t recommend it enough!!! Definitely purchase the video/photos. The staff document everything and make sure you have great footage to remember your trip.

Abandoned a plane in mid air - The experience of skydiving with Cairns Skydive was excellent. I was happy to be paired with Brant and even happier to learn he was a veteran of over 10,000 jumps spanning 20 years. Brant was great and helped make the experience as pleasant as hurtling out of a plane strapped to another guy can be. Had to go first- eep, but I just collected my balls and went with it. I'm glad to tick this one off the bucket list. Also footage was great. Thanks guys!

On Cloud 9! - A truly spectacular experience with great guys! An 0745 free pick up to the drop zone. Excellent and easy instruction and safety brief followed by lots of good humour. The videography from the hand-cam is amazing. This is one experience to certainly do if you are holidaying in Cairns. Perfect weather for us, blue skies, no wind an a smattering of fluffy cloud! Thanks to ‘Triple J’ my tandem expert for a blast! #livingthedream celebrating my son’s 18 Birthday #makingmemories

Do not recommend!!! - Horrible experience, so called manager Shelley is useless. We booked through a third party, confirmed and paid, we get to our appointment and suddenly they have no knowledge of it at all. They make us wait for hours and only to be told they may be able to put us in a later flight to jump but they cannot guarantee us a jump. Poor form as this was an admin error on their side and at no fault of our own at all and yet they think they are doing us a favour for their error?! There manager cannot deal with internal errors at all, she is rude and has no consideration for any inconvenience caused by their company.
