Take the leap of a lifetime with a tandem skydive over Newcastle and Lake Macquarie, just over an hour from North Sydney. At the Skydive Newcastle drop zone at Lake Macquarie Airport in Marks Point, you gear up with a seasoned tandem instructor and climb to up to 15,000 feet, Australia's highest skydiving altitude. Then comes the rush: up to 60 seconds of freefall at over 200 km/h, followed by 5 to 7 minutes floating under the canopy as you take in sweeping views of the coastline, the lake and Newcastle, the second oldest city in Australia. Your jump includes insurance, and the jumpsuit, hat, goggles and gloves are provided; self-drive jumps also include a three-month membership of the Australian Parachute Federation and a personalised certificate of achievement. You can drive yourself to the drop zone, or choose the option with a return transfer from Central Station in Sydney. Photo and video packages are not included and can be bought separately. Jumpers must be 16 or older, and weight limits and on-site weight surcharges apply.
