Tandem Skydive : Skydive Cairns, Australia

A tandem skydive is the easy way to experience all the thrills of skydiving with the comfort of having a highly experienced, qualified instructor with you to control the free-fall, parachute deployment and steering all the way down to your soft landing.

Your tandem skydive

It is the ultimate opportunity to experience the freedom and exhilaration of the fastest human powered sport on earth. From the doorstep of your accommodation, to a spectacular flight with views of the reef and rainforest and through the sensation of freefall, the instructors of Skydive Cairns will guide you all the way.

This is one of the most extreme adrenalin sensations you'll ever experiencer

The great advantage of a tandem skydive is that you don’t need any experience, only a 20 minute instruction and training and you are on your way. You'll be attached to your instructor and few moments later, exit the aircraft at up to 14,000 ft and skydiving to earth at speed 200 kph. This is one of the most extreme adrenalin sensations you'll ever experience - imagine free falling from 14,000 ft (4000 m), for up to 60 seconds exhilarating free fall with your professional Tandem Master. Then your instructor will pull the parachute cord and together you fly under canopy and you can enjoy spectacular views of the Great Barrier Reeft and World Heritage Rainforest for approximately 4-5 minutes, descending slowly, making gentle turns through the sky. You can also assist in steering the parachute during the ride down and then you safely land on the drop-zone.
