iFLY Indoor Skydiving Queenstown — Attraction in South Island

You're flying, and in control! That's crazy, and awesome and everyone should try this if they get the opportunity!

Once again, this was brilliant. We let the team know we'd been here before (last year Oct) and what skills we hoped we remembered. They made sure we got the most out of the experience by helping us to get 'back on the bike' in the first flight, then helping us to learn more and more in the next two flights. As before, the staff are extremely skilled, incredibly relaxed and warm, and they love helping customers to really have the best experience possible.

Again we witnessed how they adapted what they did to suit the strengths and experience of each person who they worked with and during our time watching, and our time flying, we just saw happy, excited faces of people before, during and after.

The experience? Exciting? Novel? Challenging? All of that and more. I love the fact that I'm doing something a human is not naturally built for, and I'm learning to control it! I'm flying! That's ridiculous and fantastic! So whether you're just figuring out how to stay stable, or if you're learning basic maneuvres or (I imagine) learning more complex tricks, there's always a sense of "I'm learning to control and enjoy something completely insane, in an environment where you feel completely safe at all times. It's a phenomenal opportunity that I'd recommend for anyone.

And they're right ... it's a bit of a work out, but only a bit. It's no-impact, low muscular/cardio so while you feel good physically afterwards, it's not somthing that strains the muscles, bones, joints etc and I believe the tag line, anyone from 5 to 105 can do this. If you're in average or even less than average health, don't let fear of physical limitations stop you...

I came here in July 2020 and had such a great time that I immediately booked a return trip which I had planned to use a couple of days later. However, as fate happened I ended up tearing my rotator cuff in a skiing accident to the put where I couldn't lift my arm up at all.

Having rehabbed my shoulder back to good health, I popped in to use my return flights (10 mins) and was very happy to see that most of the crew that was there are still there, which is always a good sign of a good company.

My instructor was Oliver with Sveta driving the tunnel. They are both amazing and encouraging coaches - with very impressive skills in the tunnel! I really appreciated their style of coaching, which is to be "hands-off" (i.e. they are not constantly holding you in position) as much as possible unless you need it and guiding you with clear communicative hand signals so you can be sure are doing everything yourself and learning the subtleties of all the moves/positions. Once I was stable, Oliver kept giving me new things to try, such as doing spins, left and right strafing, up and down, and even some hilarious moves such as swimming on the spot!

All the staff there are very nice and easy to talk to, and it is a cool place to go and watch people trying to fly, and watch the more experienced people doing some very cool flying.

Needless to say, I am hooked and will be back. Thanks for...

iFLY Queenstown is an exhilarating indoor skydiving experience located right in the heart of Queenstown. I’ve always fancied trying skydiving but there is no way that would will find me jumping out of a plane so this is the next best thing! The facility offers a safe and thrilling way to experience the sensation of freefall without having to jump out of an aeroplane, making it ideal for people of all ages and abilities. Our instructor Heather was friendly, professional, and ensured that everyone felt comfortable and confident before entering the wind tunnel.
