NZONE – The Ultimate Jump

Embrace the fear and freefall in a tandem skydive at 200kph from 9000, 12,000 or 15,000 feet above Rotorua. It takes a certain kind of person to jump out of an aircraft into thin air. It takes courage. Harnessed by space-age materials to an experienced tandem master, expect sensory overload as you step out of the aircraft door and for some 45 seconds plummet towards the ground at 200kph.
