Skydive Abel Tasman operates from Motueka, on the border of the Abel Tasman and Kahurangi National Parks. Skydivers will get views of both NZ’s North & South Islands and on a clear day, they might even be able to see Aoraki/Mt. Cook and Mt. Taranaki.
Skydive Abel Tasman
Enjoy New Zealand’s most scenic skydive experience! Located in central Motueka and boasting the country’s most epic scenery, we’re the only drop zone in NZ that can show you the mind-blowing views of both islands.
Feel the freedom of flying over turquoise oceans, snow-capped mountains and three national parks – some of the most beautiful scenery on earth is found right at the centre of New Zealand.
The Skydive Abel Tasman Experience
The Abel Tasman is one of New Zealand’s “Great Walks” and now the proud home of “New Zealand’s Own Beach” which is collectively owned by the public after a successful crowdfunding campaign to purchase the beach off private owners in 2016.
As with anything, the best advice often comes from the locals which is why we’ve compiled our “best of” series in accommodation, eating out and activities in the Abel Tasman region stretching from the city of Nelson right through to the golden sands of the Abel Tasman National Park.
