The Ultimate Surf Coast Thrill
Skydiving over the Great Ocean Road is consistently rated as one of the most scenic jumps in Australia. You'll exit the plane at up to 15,000 feet, freefall for up to 60 seconds, then float under canopy with panoramic views stretching from Melbourne's skyline to the Otway Ranges.
Below you, the coastline curves past Bells Beach, Jan Juc, and the beginning of the Great Ocean Road. It's a perspective of the Surf Coast you can't get any other way.
What to Expect
Tandem Jump
No experience needed. You're harnessed to an experienced instructor who handles everything. All you need to do is enjoy the view — and jump when they say go.
The Freefall
Up to 60 seconds of freefall at 200+ km/h. The rush is intense but over quickly — then the parachute opens and everything goes quiet. The canopy ride lasts 5–7 minutes.
The Landing
Touch down on the beach or a nearby landing zone. The whole experience from briefing to landing takes about 2–3 hours, with the jump itself lasting around 8 minutes.
Jump Heights & Pricing
| Height | Freefall | Experience |
|---|---|---|
| 10,000 ft | ~20 seconds | Introductory — shorter freefall, same views |
| 12,000 ft | ~40 seconds | Popular choice — good balance of thrill and value |
| 15,000 ft | ~60 seconds | Maximum height — the full experience |
Photo and video packages available. Prices vary by operator and height — expect $250–$450 for a tandem jump.
