Why Perth is the Best Place to Skydive this Summer
Summer skydiving… What’s not to love? WA – and Perth, in particular – isn’t just one of Australia’s top locations to get your adrenaline buzz – it’s one of the best on the planet!
But hey… This isn’t just some random claim. Because there’s a whole host of reasons why our sunny corner of the world deserves such an awesome accolade.
4 reasons to throw yourself out of a plane above Perth
Let’s first stress that skydiving isn’t solely for the action men or women out there. So many people include a parachute jump on their bucket list. And if you’re gonna do it – then make sure you do it in style.
Whether you’re a one-time only jumper or a seasoned pro, the case for making Perth your next (or only) jump is overwhelmingly strong…
- The views of the coastline are A.W.E.S.O.M.E! Azure ocean meets snow-white sands that kiss the coastline… A kaleidoscope of watery blues and greens shimmer below – ever-changing as you lose altitude… The waters of the famous Swan River snake inland towards the CBD… Skydiving offers you a truly unique view of this majestic region that can’t be experienced in any other way.
- Choose to land on Rottnest Island and wow… Just wow… A short ferry ride from Fremantle is the wonderful Rottnest Island. Known as Perth’s summer playground, this tiny landmass is as close to paradise on Earth as it gets. Not only do you get a true bird’s eye view of the island, but the eagle-eyed amongst you can spot the location’s cutest residents – quokkas – as you head towards terra firma. Once you land (and your heart rate gets back to normal), why not snap a selfie with these friendly creatures. But don’t rush off… Take your time and spend the day. Spot nesting ospreys, enjoy a hike, hire a bike, discover the rich aboriginal history, grab a snorkel and dive beneath the waves… There are no cars on the island so feel free to wander to your heart’s content.
- It’s one of the safest places in the world to jump. Yep, the regulations around skydiving in Australia are some of the strictest in any country. If you’re going to make the leap of faith, then be sure to do it in safety…
- Did we mention the weather? WA has one of the most temperate climates in the Southern Hemisphere. When you book a Perth skydive then you have the greatest chance of the weather being favourable. Because skydiving is all about the views and the experience, not just the buzz (although that’s pretty incredible as well).
To skydive Rottnest is to create lifelong memories. It’s so easy to get here from the city, either by public transport or car. At Skydive Geronimo, we offer tandem jumps from 10,000, 14,000 or 15,000 feet – and that includes up to 66 seconds of freefall. Plus, you get to land directly on the beach!
