Australia's only helicopter tandem skydive experience launches on the Gold Coast

Skydive Australia and Sea World Helicopters has launched an adrenaline-packed heli skydive experience, giving you the opportunity to skydive directly onto Main Beach, Surfers Paradise in the heart of Australia’s Gold Coast.

Operating three days a week, Friday through Sunday, Skydive Surfers Paradise will be the only tandem heli skydiving experience operating regularly in Australia.

Three skydivers and their tandem masters will fly on an AS350 Squirrel Airbus Helicopter before exiting at 10,000’, experiencing an exhilarating freefall and then floating serenely under canopy for a further five minuteswhile  taking in the spectacular views of the Gold Coast before landing on the soft sands of Main Beach.

Skydive Australia is owned by leading Australian adventure company, Experience Co (EXP).  They currently operate skydiving at 16 dropzones throughout Australia and New Zealand, with this being the only heli experience on offer.

"Anyone who has jumped out of a helicopter will tell you that this takes skydiving to the next level, and what better place to offer it but on the spectacularly beautiful Gold Coast," CEO John O’Sullivan said.

“We are delighted that the Gold Coast City Council has supported our vision to deliver this wonderful new tourism product for the region with our highly experienced partners, Sea World Helicopters, at a time when we are all looking at how we can help get the tourism industry back on its feet again.”

The experience can be booked online at Skydive Surfers Paradise and will depart from Sea World Helicopters located adjacent to the theme park entrance.  The cost for the tandem experience will be $570pp with a video package available for an additional $179.
