Melbourne's Only Beach Skydive, MEL

It doesn’t matter if he has jumped zero times or 10 times, our Melbourne Weekend Tandem Skydive experience is a truly life-changing adventure. You will send him rising up through the Melbourne skies, preparing to make the highest tandem leap in Australia of 14,000 feet, achieving what is Melbourne city’s closest tandem skydive experience. From above, the spectacular coast and city views will be seen from a 360-degree perspective – only ever enjoyed by a few. In the safe hands of Australia’s best tandem instructors, this is one unforgettable journey.

His day will begin at the St Kilda Marina meeting point on either a Saturday or Sunday, where he will be given a full rigorous safety briefing, and be introduced to his tandem instructor, who will guide him the whole way through from beginning to end. It is suggested that he give himself 45 minutes to get to the office from the city, either by car or public transport.

The real adventure will begin once they take off in his skydiving plane, rising to 14,000ft height, viewing break-taking scenery on the journey up. Once they reach the highest point, his instructor will get him ready for the big leap – jumping out over the gorgeous coast and cityscape of Melbourne, freefalling for an incredible 60 seconds, reaching 200km/h. The instructor will then release the parachute ready for 5-7 minutes of bliss – gently floating back down to the Moran Reserve under the canopy.

His tandem skydive over Melbourne includes:

- The tandem skydive itself, on either a Saturday or Sunday of his choice

- A certificate of achievement with his name on it
