15 minutes up, 45 seconds down! Watch me jump out of a plane at 12,000 ft above Queenstown, New Zealand with NZONE Skydive Queenstown. Falling at 200kph! Arial views of one of the South Islands prettiest areas: the Remarkables mountain range, lakes, and snow-capped peaks!
For some reason, the thought of skydiving didn’t scare me at all. The morning of I was fine, Adam dropped me off and I decided to upgrade my jump from 9,000ft to 12,000ft! Why not?
We took a ten-minute ride outside of Queenstown, where I would be suited up and off in a plane I go. Once up high in the sky, I realized I had no other way down, and when it was my turn to roll out of the plane….I had no time to be scared!
Next thing I know I was jumping/falling/screaming down 12,000ft! It was awesome, still can’t believe I did it! I would highly recommend it, and if you’re scared of heights you should be fine. Because like I said you won’t have time to be scared!
Not a bad view if it were to be your last…
Have you ever sky dived? How high? Where at? Would love to hear all your stories!

That view looks incredible! I did my skydive in Taupo and loved it too. New Zealand is without doubt the best place for any extreme sport!

I went skydiving in Vegas from around 15,000 feet. Easily the coolest adrenaline thing I have done; even cooler than bungee jumping from a hot air balloon!

Oh my goodness, I can't believe you have done that. I like an adventure, but when it comes to skydiving I draw my line. Good for you for trying it though!

Wahoooooo!!!! Hannah, so freakin' stoked you did it! (Glances at Adam with raised eyebrow)
I'm so bummed I didn't get a chance to explore more of Queenstown, those mountains are Mindblowing!!! I bungee jumped there but looks like Skydiving is beautiful in that region.
Oh, and did you see the girl as you are boarding the train flash the gnarly symbol :)
By the way, I'm shocked they only had one camera on you oldschool like that. Some of the other ones have every jumper with a GoPro on their wrist.
Either way, cool stuff!

I did it! Don't think we would have gotten Adam out of the plane, that IS if we ever got him in the plan!
Totally saw that girl!
No they had a camera man jump with us and we hung onto him for a little. Was a great experience for sure.
