Description
Experience the rush of a tandem skydive over the Yarra Valley, just 45 minutes from Melbourne. Freefall from up to 15,000ft with an expert instructor and take in views of vineyards and ranges.
Take your adventure to new heights with a tandem skydive over the Yarra Valley, just 45 minutes' drive from Melbourne CBD. Jumps depart from Lilydale Airport in Yering, where free parking is available on site.
On arrival, check in with the team, complete your paperwork and get kitted up. Your tandem instructor will take you through a full safety briefing and explain exactly what to expect, so no previous experience is needed.
Board the aircraft and climb to altitude while enjoying sweeping views of rolling vineyards, the Warburton Ranges and, on a clear day, the Melbourne skyline. Then it's time to jump. Feel the rush of freefall from up to 15,000ft before your instructor deploys the parachute at around 5,000ft. Enjoy a peaceful canopy ride as you drift back down over the valley to a smooth landing on the airfield.
The skydive itself takes around 30 minutes from briefing to landing, but please allow up to 4 hours for your visit, as jump times can shift with weather and aircraft scheduling. Photo and video packages can be purchased on the day at the dropzone.
All jumps are subject to wind and cloud limits, and the final call is made by safety staff on the day. If weather cancels your skydive, you can choose to rebook for another date or receive a full refund.
