Above the Whitsundays: A 15,000‑Foot Tandem Skydive with a Beach Landing

Above the Whitsundays: A 15,000‑Foot Tandem Skydive with a Beach Landing.
Set over the Whitsundays, the 에얼리 비치 15,000피트 스카이다이빙 places you in a small aircraft bound for 15,000 feet, then sends you tumbling into a high‑velocity tandem freefall before a parachute‑assisted glide to a beach landing — a singular way to take in emerald water, reef and shoreline between Airlie Beach and Mackay.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Full‑throttle freefall from 15,000 feet
Jump from up to 15,000 feet and experience the rush of freefall at speeds exceeding 200 km/h before the canopy deploys and the descent becomes a controlled glide.
Panoramic coastline from Airlie Beach to Mackay
The ascent and the parachute ride frame expansive coastal panoramas: coral lagoons, beaches and reef systems stretching from Airlie Beach toward Mackay.
A rare beach landing in the Whitsundays
This is the only skydive in the Whitsunday region that includes a beach landing; all tandems are conducted with Australian Parachute Federation‑certified instructors and follow formal safety briefings.
What the day feels like
What it feels like
The flow is concise and focused: check in and complete a safety briefing, don tandem equipment, climb in a light aircraft for views of the Whitsundays as you rise toward 15,000 feet, then step into a freefall that quickly peaks above 200 km/h. After canopy deployment you’ll trade raw speed for a calm, panoramic descent, finishing with a controlled beach landing.
