Tandem Skydiving has become one of the most popular adventure activities in Australia. It is the easiest way to skydive. Almost anyone over the age of 14 years can jump. It's FUN, it's EASY and it’s affordable.
Experience the thrill of freefall the easiest and fun way!
A tandem skydive with Jump The Beach is the best way to experience all the thrills of skydiving with the comfort of having a qualified instructor with you to operate the parachute and control the descent. Before boarding the aircraft, we train you about exit procedure, body position for freefall and landing. It only takes a few minutes training in our 5 star training facility at Tully airport.
NO EXPERIENCE is necessary to do a tandem skydive, so almost anyone can give it a go! Imagine free falling from 14,000 ft (4000 m), at 200 kph, for up to 60 seconds with your professional Tandem Master. Then relax as you glide under your parachute for approximately 5 minutes, taking in the spectacular views of tropical islands, golden sand and the Great Barrier Reef on your way back down. Finally, you come back down to earth, with a soft landing on the beautiful Mission Beach.
