WHERE TO JUMP · BEACH SKYDIVES
Landing on sand instead of a paddock costs more and cancels more often, because the wind limit over a beach is tighter. The 11 here are priced and honest about that, from the Whitsundays to St Kilda.
Take a tandem skydive from up to 15,000 feet above Airlie Beach, with up to 60 seconds of freefall over the Whitsundays and surrounding reefs. Expect a four-hour outing, English instruction, scenic flight, parachute steering, certificate, and selected hotel or hostel transfers. Photo and video packages cost extra, and weight limits apply.

“Skydiving was an absolutely unforgettable adrenaline rush! It felt crazy at first, but surprisingly enjoyable, not at all like a rollercoaster.

His calm and supportive manner made a huge difference, especially for someone like me who has a fear of heights. Thank you for the amazing experience!”
