Hi..if you had the choice to do a sky dive around Fox Glacier/Franz Josef or Lake Wanaka.. which one would you go for in terms of scenery? Just deciding today. I fancy going 15,000 ft.

Many thanks! Claire Reply to this

Hi Claire,

I've only jumped in the North Island, so can't comment on either of the above regarding the jump.

If this is your first time up, and you're choosing between 12,000 ft and paying a fair bit more to go to 15,000 you probably won't notice the difference in freefall time. Highly recommend getting video and still photos though :-) Reply to this

hi thanks for this. Decided to go for the 12000 ft jump in fox glacier as you get a 30 min scenic ride thrown in as you're going to altitude. Can't wait although am rather nervous!! Reply to this

Don't chicken out!! ;-) And don't close your eyes either!!

I was only ever going to do a tandem, but ended up getting licenced to jump by myself. That's a real buzz :-)
