Yarra Valley Tandem Skydive with Wine Tasting and Lunch

Description

One of the best tandem sky diving experiences over the Yarra Valley. Experience the thrill of sky diving tandem with an instructor as you plummet towards the ground at 220km/h and land into a Yarra Valley Winery for a glass of wine and a 2-course lunch!

Included In Price

Experience the thrill of freefall! Your day with us includes your tandem sky diving, a 2-course lunch and a glass of Yarra Valley Wine (from a selected menu).
Your day will begin with a briefing with your tandem instructor. This includes what to expect, what you will see on the plane flight to height, in freefall, under canopy and upon landing. This will take approximately 15 minutes.

Once we have familiarized you, made you feel comfortable, taught you how to overcome your fears and most importantly, how to increase your awareness - it's time to gear up. You will be given a jumpsuit and your instructor will fit you into a harness. You will then head out to the plane, where you will practice your exits. Once completed, it's time to get in the plane and get ready for take-off! You can expect to jump from a height of 10,000ft. As we leave the airfield, you and your friend will be treated to stunning views of the Yarra Valley, the Dandenong Ranges as well as the city of Melbourne and Port Phillip Bay. Once we reach height, it will be time to prepare for the jump. The door opens and it's now time for you to take a step into a brave new world!

You and your tandem master will accelerate through the air, reaching speeds of up to 220km/h.

Freefall feels like riding a cushion of air and your senses will take in views as far as the eye can see. Finally, it's time to deploy your parachute. From the loud rushing of air that you hear all around you, the parachute ride is very different as you sail around the sky, gliding slowly to the ground. The landing is easy, just lift your legs and let your tandem instructor touch down first.

Now landing back on the ground into a Yarra Valley Winery to enjoy a glass of wine and a 2-course lunch.
