Tandem Skydiving with Geronimo Rottnest. Have you ever tried it? Jumping out of a perfectly good airplane? Harness tight, sitting in the door with your Instructor the deafening sound of wind in your ears? Have you experienced the incredible rush of free fall? Whether you are an adrenalin junkie or someone who has always wanted to ‚Äògive it a go,’ the Skydive Geronimo team invites you to join us on an experience of a lifetime!

Your experience begins with a warm welcome at our facilities at the Rottnest Island Airport, followed by a briefing with your qualified and friendly Skydive Instructor. After a quick goodbye to family and friends, you will board the Geronimo aircraft and fly to jump altitude. The 10 – 15 minute flight features views of stunning WA coastline, the island itself and Perth city beyond.

Together with your Instructor, you will free fall at 200kms/hr for 66 seconds! This is by far the most exciting part, so we recommend considering an upgraded height of 15,000ft, which can be arranged on jump day. Your Instructor will deploy your parachute at 5,000ft and you then enjoy a spectacular 5 minute parachute ride, before landing on the beach alongside family and friends. Then it’s time to celebrate! Customers enjoy a free celebratory drink the Hotel Rottnest, while overlooking the ocean – skydiving is thirsty work!

Video and Photos packages are available on jump day, pre-booking is not required. Payable direct.

Walk amongst these tall tingle trees on the ancient empire walk. Climb the Diamond tree, towering 50 metres above the ground, a native karri tree once used as a fire lookout. It is 1 of 3 wooden top towers in this area and in the world. The day’s last lot of driving brings us to Quinninup camp.
