Skydive Over Great Ocean Road at Melbourne Skydiving

Skydive Over Great Ocean Road is a tandem skydiving experience departing from Barwon Heads Airport, roughly an hour south-west of Melbourne near Geelong. Jumps exit the aircraft from up to 15,000 feet, delivering around 60 seconds of freefall before the canopy opens for a 5 to 7 minute descent over the coastline. The drop zone sits at a private airfield on Barwon Heads Road, meaning take-off and landing both happen on site without transfers between locations. For those planning a broader trip, there is plenty more to consider among things to do in Melbourne before or after the jump.

During the freefall, jumpers face 360-degree coastal views taking in Torquay and the stretch of the Great Ocean Road below. The tandem format pairs each participant with a qualified instructor from the resident crew, and the booking includes a three-month membership of the Australian Parachute Federation along with a personalised certificate of achievement. Photo and video packages are available to purchase on the day at the drop zone but are not included in the base price. Wheelchair access is available at the site. Tickets cover the tandem jump from up to 15,000 feet, freefall time, canopy descent, APF membership, and the achievement certificate. Pick-up and drop-off are not included.
