The Best Skydiving Locations In The World

The thrill of jumping out of an aircraft and falling 10,000 feet is what persuades many to take the leap, but you also want a spectacular backdrop and stunning scenery to look out upon as you skydive back down to earth. Make the experience all the better by doing it in one of these incredible places as we discover the best skydiving locations in the world.

Interlaken, Switzerland

Interlaken is probably the most picturesque town in the world. Nestled between two blue Alpine lakes and the snowy mountains of the Swiss Alps, fall towards the deep valleys and lush greenery of Interlaken.

Swakopmund, Namibia

The striking and desolate dessert of Namibia’s Swakopmund makes jumping out of the plane pretty daunting, but during a beautiful sunset on a clear day, you can’t beat it.

Waialua, Hawaii

Capture a view of the entire island of Hawaii as you dive 14,000ft to its warm, blue coastline from an aircraft that keeps its environmental impact low.

Cairns, Australia

View the most breathtaking landscape with a skydive in Cairns. Based in the northern tropics of Queensland, this journey offers views of the rainforest and Great Barrier Reef.

Fox Glacier, New Zealand

Take in the rainforest, rivers, lakes, mountains and seas in and around New Zealand as you freefall towards the glaciers and snow fields of the Southern Alps from 16,000ft.
