Yes, there is a weight limit of 100kg / 220lbs / 15.5 stone for every tandem passenger. Passengers between 100kg and 110kg may be able to jump, this decision is made individually and on the day of the jump, assessment is made by the TMs only.

We suggest allowing 2‐3 hours for the experience, however, sometimes it can take longer. This can depend on our busy summer season, large groups and the weather. If you are on a schedule, please let us know and we can advise you.

Absolutely! We love people‐the more the merrier. We have seating and tables available and you are welcome to bring snacks or lunch. If this is a special occasion, please let us know.

We do not allow clients to bring along personal cameras, GoPros, cell phones, and other photography equipment on their jumps due to safety and regulatory issues. Past experience has proven that untrained passengers pose a safety risk to their instructors, equipment, and people on the ground. Untrained passengers trying to film their jumps can easily interfere with parachute operation and/or injure themselves or their instructors. Additionally, Skydive Mount Cook is governed by the rules of the New Zealand Parachute Organisation, our Civil Aviation Authority Part 115 certificate holder, which specifically state that no photography equipment may be used by skydivers on tandem descents who have less than 200 jumps. Skydive Mount Cook has professionally trained freefall photographers and offers a variety of camera options available should you wish to record your jump. Thanks for your understanding.
