Skydive Mt Cook - 16,500ft

Not only was there a great discount, but the scenery and jump height made it even more worthwhile. I jumped from 16,500 ft, with breathtaking views of Aoraki / Mt Cook, Lake Pukaki, the surrounding snow-capped mountains, and the stunning turquoise lake. Looking down, I could even see Twizel, which looked so tiny and adorable from above. My tandem instructor was incredibly professional. Before and during the flight, he explained everything clearly, helped calm my nerves, and made me feel safe throughout the whole experience. He even let me try steering the parachute myself, but it was much heavier than I expected, and I wasn't strong enough! I'm so grateful that I finally had the courage to do it. It was an unforgettable experience and definitely one of the highlights of my working holiday in New Zealand. If you ever have the chance, it's absolutely worth trying at least once!
