About
Whoever said 'kiwis can't fly' couldn't have been more wrong! A unique adventure for thrill seekers, Skydiving Kiwis Ōtautahi is currently New Zealand's only helidive. This experience is equally exclusive on the international market, with only 7 other similar offerings. This bucket-list worthy helidive combines a scenic helicopter flight in a BK 117 over the cityscape of Ōtautahi Christchurch, followed by a skydive out of the helicopter over the breath-taking Sumner coastline and is topped off with a beach landing softly in the sand of Sumner Beach!
Christchurch, New Zealand

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I love how hyped up they get you to do the jump! Honestly the most supportive bunch of people I’ve met! 10/10 would do it again. I jumped with Jordan and he was awesome throughout the whole thing 😁

What an amazing experience! This was one of the best things i have ever done. Standing on the edge of a helicopter looking over the city and banks peninsula at 10000 feet is breathtaking. Then jumping off into freefall is just incredible, words cannot describe!! I jumped with Lee who was the perfect mix of adrenaline junky and professional skydiving instructor. The whole crew and experience was epic from start to finish. Highly recommended

I would like to thank Lee most importantly for making me feel so comfortable and at ease even though I wasn't nervous at all, the team were great. I definitely can say I had the best experience, would go again and I definitely recommend it to anybody crazy enough to take a leap of faith!

This helidive from 10,000 ft was one of the highlights of my life. The team were all so professional and friendly, I felt completely safe throughout the dive with Lee and would love to do it again some time. Exhilarating, mind-blowing, awesome - a wonderful experience!

My friend and I skydived with Ben, and had the best time!!! They were knowledgable and made the trip fun and helped calm our nerves. The dive was thrilling and unforgettable. We were the last group of the day at 6pm, so we got to see the start of the sunset, which was absolutely stunning especially for first-timers. The video editing was amazing and really captured the individual rides. They also were extremely hospitable and when we couldn't find a shuttle back they offered to give us and another couple a ride home. Definitely would recommend to anyone considering going skydiving!!!

Great morning watching my just turned (the week before her jump)12yr old daughter. Staff are amazing and make you feel very relaxed. Very upbeat and encouraging. My daughter loved it, a little nervous to start, but very comfortable with her jump buddy and smiled all the way. Will definitely be going back!

I had such a thrilling skydive, should have done it earlier than waiting till I was 63. My Grand-daughter Shikayla Hutchinson turned 16, we went to watch her jump, which she throughly enjoyed and wanted to do it again. Thanks so much we will be back. Peter

Elements of engineering, physics, art, and insanity were fused together in Ashburton to create an experience that we'll never forget. But it wasn't just an incredible experience of feeling alive - it was an unexpected introduction to skydiving culture and the passion that drives the outstanding team at SDK. Thanks for making us feel like part of the phenomenon that is skydiving, and not just another piece of tandem cargo. Ten stars out of five to Steve-o, Potter, Ben, and the whole crew at SDK! We're so glad our first diving experience was with all of you.
