Skydive over the coastline

Skydiving over the Great Ocean Road is the ultimate adventure: the rush and the views of one of Australia’s most beautiful coastlines. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a first-timer, this skydive is the chance to see the Victorian coast from 10,000ft up. The views are incredible, and Bells Beach and the Twelve Apostles are the backdrop for an epic skydive: experienced instructors and multiple skydive options.

The Skydive

The skydive starts with a safety briefing where your skydiving instructors will explain the process and answer any questions. Then you’ll get suited up in class equipment and board the plane. We’ll take you to 15,000ft, and then it’s time to jump! The freefall is 60 seconds of pure adrenaline. You’ll reach speeds of up to 200km/h before the parachute deploys. Then, we’ll take you on a scenic flight back to the ground, and you’ll get to see the views of the coastline and the scenery below.

Skydiving Highlights

Best Views:

The tandem skydive experience is unbeatable. As you jump from the plane, you’ll feel the ultimate rush of freefall at 200km/h. The adrenaline and the scenery below will leave you wanting more.

They’ll guide you through the whole experience, from the safety briefing to the freefall and landing, so you feel comfortable and secure.
Capture the Moment:
Many operators offer video and photo packages to capture your skydive. From a 5-minute video edit to photos of your freefall and parachute descent, you’ll have plenty of ways to remember your skydive. These packages often include a personal certificate to commemorate your achievement.

When to Skydive

Skydive over the Great Ocean Road from October to April. This is the warmest time of the year, and the weather is perfect for skydiving – clear skies, mild temperatures and no wind. Mornings are the best time to skydive as the air is more stable and the views are at their best. The calm conditions make for a smooth jump, and you’ll get to see the coastline and surrounding areas in all its glory.
But skydiving is weather dependent, and rain, strong winds, or low clouds can impact your jump. Be flexible with your schedule and be prepared to reschedule. Check the cancellation policy and weather forecast when you book your skydive to avoid disappointment. But it’s worth it.

Get Ready to Jump

What to Wear:
Wear comfortable clothes for the weather, a t-shirt and pants and enclosed shoes. No flip flops or loose clothing as they can get in the way of the gear. Operators will provide jumpsuits and goggles so just dress comfortably.
Physical and Health Requirements:
To be safe, you must meet certain minimum requirements, including a maximum weight limit, which is usually around 95 kg. People with medical conditions or taking certain medications should seek individual assessment before booking. Legal guardians must sign for participants under 18. Always tell your skydiving operator of any health issues.
Book in Advance:
Skydiving is a popular activity along the Great Ocean Road. Book your skydive well in advance, especially during peak season. This will ensure you get your preferred date and time and plenty of time to prepare for the jump. Many operators also offer mobile ticketing and online checkout.
