About Abel Tasman

Skydiving in the Abel Tasman is a bit like falling in love…

…thrilling, unexpected and totally unforgettable!

We are so lucky. Every day we make people ecstatically happy doing what we love – skydiving over the awesome Abel Tasman!

We put everything into making your whole experience in the sky and on the ground better than you ever imagine, including the original ways we capture your whole experience with multi-angled HD photography and video.
