Highlights
Experience an unforgettable adrenaline rush with a tandem skydive over the Hunter Region, just north of Sydney. Freefall from altitude at speeds of over 220 km/h (130 mph) before your instructor deploys the parachute, turning the rush into a smooth, scenic descent. Enjoy breathtaking aerial views of Lake Macquarie, Newcastle, the sparkling coastline, pristine beaches, and rolling hinterland. From above, see Newcastle - Australia’s oldest seaport and home to one of the world’s largest export harbours. Easy return transfers from Sydney mean less time on the road and more time in the air, making your experience seamless. Friends and family are welcome to watch from the Newcastle Dropzone, where spectators can see your landing and capture incredible photos as you tick off this once-in-a-lifetime bucket list experience.

About Newcastle
Newcastle is a coal-port city at the mouth of the Hunter River in New South Wales, with surf beaches, ocean baths and a lighthouse on a long breakwater.
Newcastle began as a convict settlement in 1804 and grew around coal and, later, steelmaking, and its harbour is still among the largest coal ports in the world. The centre curves around the water, with Christ Church Cathedral on the hill and heritage buildings along Hunter Street. Nobbys Head, a headland topped by a lighthouse, is joined to the shore by a long breakwater, and Fort Scratchley, a nineteenth-century coastal fort, guards the harbour mouth.
