Please note that an Australian Parachute Federation Levy is payable on the day of your skydive. This is a cost of $25 and covers licensing and insurance for the event.

Your day with us includes your skydiving experience followed by lunch is at a Winery at the foothills of the Yarra Valley where you will be treated to fine foods from a selected menu giving you two courses and a glass of Yarra Valley Wine. We begin the day with a briefing with your tandem instructor. This includes what to expect and what you will see on the plane flight to height, in freefall, under canopy and upon landing. The briefing takes approximately 15 minutes. Our tandem masters have between 1,000's jumps and are members of the Australian Parachute Federation. Once the briefing is over, it will be time to gear up. You will be given a jumpsuit and your instructor will fit you into a harness. You will walk out to the plane and there you will conduct your practise exits. Once all the ground preparation has been completed, it is time to get in the plane and get ready for take-off! You can expect to jump at heights of 10,000 feet. As we leave the airfield, you will be treated to stunning views of the Yarra Valley and the Dandenong ranges as well as the city of Melbourne and Port Phillip Bay. Once we reach height, it will be time to prepare yourself for the jump. The door opens and as you leave the plane, you and your tandem master will accelerate through the air reaching terminal velocity - 220km/h. Freefall feels like riding a cushion of air similar to riding a big wave. In freefall, your senses will be able to take in views as far as the eye can see. Then finally it's time to pull your parachute open. From the loud rushing of air that you hear all around you, the parachute ride is very different as you sail around the sky, gliding. The landing is easy, just lift your legs. The parachute will glide and you will eventually put your feet down to land. After all of this excitement, what better way to "bring you back to earth" than with a gourmet lunch at a Yarra Valley winery.

Lunch and a wine tasting experience at a Yarra Valley Winery is included after your jump. In the case of poor weather conditions, we will either delay your jump or it may be necessary to cancel your skydive and reschedule for a later date. Rain, wind and cloud are factors that can delay skydiving.
