Frequently Asked Questions
The weight limit for Airlie Beach is 110kg.
As of 18 January 2023, all tandem skydives require compulsory Personal Accident Insurance from the Australian Parachute Federation. Weight is an important factor in Skydiving and Aviation. It affects aircraft weights and balances, fuel allowances, climb rates and equipment maintenance. Once at the drop zone, all customers are subject to a fitness assessment by a Tandem Master. If a customer weighs over 94kg, Skydive Australia must be notified prior to the jump date and weight surcharges will apply (payable at check in).
Tandem skydiving is a well-suited activity for people with mobility needs as it is accompanied. The main consideration is how to get to and enter the aircraft. In most drop zones, people with disabilities can drive their wheelchair directly to the plane or helicopter. Alternative arrangements will always be made if direct access is not possible. Getting into the aircraft will always be done with the assistance of the instructor.
The skydiving company tries their best to accommodate everyone, but safety always comes first. A medical certificate from a doctor is required before skydiving, stating that it is safe for the person to participate with their disability. It is important to inform the company of any disability before making a booking. The company needs to know the kind of disability the person has and how the experience needs to be customized. They also need to know if the person is on any medication for their condition.
After receiving a booking confirmation, the skydiving company will arrange for the person to meet their Drop Zone Safety officer. The safety officer will run through the procedures that need to be undertaken before the skydive to ensure that the harness will fit correctly and without discomfort.

At 52, I figured, why not? 😂 Couldn’t have asked for a better team—everyone was so encouraging and professional. My tandem guide, Sarah, made me laugh the whole way up. Felt 100% safe even though my stomach was doing backflips! Tip: definitely pay for the photo and video package, you'll want proof you actually did it. Best birthday gift to myself ever.

Got cancelled in Airlie Beach due to bad weather but I got to do it in Noosa instead and it was absolutely amazing

Ok, so I finally did it—jumped out of a plane over Airlie Beach! Honestly, I was pretty freaked out at first, but the staff were so chill and reassuring. The scenery was just breathtaking, and once you’re in freefall, it’s all about the thrill. Would do it again in a heartbeat!

It’s hard to put into words what it’s like to skydive over the Whitsundays—it’s just mind-blowing. The freefall was like nothing I’ve ever felt, and then the views hit you: turquoise waters, green islands, and the coastline stretching out forever. The booking process was super straightforward, and the crew was upbeat and reassuring. I walked away buzzing with adrenaline and joy.

What a way to see the Whitsundays! The combination of adrenaline and stunning landscapes is unbeatable. The instructors were top-notch, making the jump both safe and exhilarating. I booked with Backpacker Deals, and they made the process super easy to navigate. If you’re thinking about it, stop hesitating and just go for it—this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

I had the best time skydiving, and Sam made the whole experience even better! He was super chill and walked me through everything and made it a lot easier. The freefall was amazing, and the view was just unreal. Sam’s energy made it way more fun, and you could tell he loves what he does. Definitely recommend giving it a go – I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
