Experience the Thrill: Skydiving in Queenstown – Bucket List Adventure Checked Off

📍Itinerary Timeline
D1: Drizzling rain (half-hearted and a bit disheartening)
D2: Strong winds (starting to feel anxious and a bit worried)
D3: Clouds so thick they were suffocating (almost thought I’d have to return home with a heavy heart…)
👉🏻Miraculous Turnaround: Managed to secure a spot for the 9 AM session! The staff said we were the only lucky ones to jump in the past three days!

✨Highlight of the 15-Second Skydive
🪂The moment the door opened: A breathtaking panoramic view of snow-capped mountains and shimmering lakes unfolded beneath my feet.
💨60 seconds of free fall: Felt like a bird soaring through the clouds, as if the clouds themselves were supporting me!
🎢5 seconds of weightlessness: Easier than a roller coaster, even those who usually avoid them can go for it boldly!

🌍The moment the parachute opened: The instructor took me on a thrilling 360° spin to overlook Queenstown. We spun many, many times, but surprisingly, there was no dizziness at all.

💸🕤
15,000 feet skydive + third-party photography: 3112 RMB
Time spent: 2.5 hours by car / 3.5 hours by shuttle bus

💡Tips:
1️⃣ Reserve 3 flexible days! We almost missed out due to the weather.
2️⃣ The earliest sessions have a higher success rate (weather stabilizes after morning fog clears). If canceled, you can negotiate with the front desk to see if there are any last-minute spots available.
3️⃣ Wear warm clothes when it’s cold. Even with the adrenaline rush, it gets very cold as the plane ascends.
4️⃣ Those with nearsightedness can wear glasses or contact lenses (personally tested, they won’t dry out).

🚗Transportation Tips
After checking in at the city center, there is a shuttle directly to the base, or you can drive yourself, but you must first check-in at 32 Shotover Street.

💌Postscript
When my feet touched the ground again, the instructor said to me,
“Welcome back to Earth!”
The feeling of having the world at my feet was so cool and exhilarating, a truly unforgettable experience!
