Discovering Indoor Skydiving in Queenstown

The indoor skydiving experience at iFLY Queenstown is designed to make anyone feel like they’re flying, regardless of experience. The facility is modern, clean, and set up with high-quality equipment, which immediately reassures first-timers. You’ll start with a thorough pre-flight briefing, where certified instructors walk you through the basics in a friendly, clear manner. Their team, including highly skilled instructors, are known for creating a fun yet safe environment—something past visitors appreciate.

Once suited up, you step into the airflow chamber. Here, the wind is powerful enough to lift you off your feet, but the instructors are there to help you learn how to control your body, giving you the feeling of effortless flight. The flight itself lasts about two minutes per session; with two sessions, you’ll get a full 4 minutes airborne. That might not sound long, but it’s enough to feel like you’re floating, tumbling, and gliding—without the risk or complexity of a real skydiving jump.

We loved the way the instructor, who went by the name of Liam, broke down the flying techniques into easy-to-understand steps. His personalized coaching meant even nervous first-timers felt more confident after the brief tutorial. Several reviews noted the professionalism and patience of staff, which is reassuring when you’re trying something new at height.

What to Expect During Your Flight

The process begins with check-in at the reception of iFLY on Brecon Street, about 30 minutes before your scheduled slot. You’ll sign a safety waiver and get fitted for a high-quality flight suit, goggles, and earplugs. The gear is comfortable, designed for mobility, and well-maintained.

After gearing up, you’ll receive a step-by-step pre-flight tutorial. This includes demonstrations on body positioning, hand signals, and safety procedures, ensuring you understand what to do once in the airflow chamber. The instructor remains present throughout, offering one-on-one tips to help you maximize your flight experience.

The actual flights are conducted in a controlled chamber where the wind is so powerful it lifts you effortlessly into the air. Expect to float and gently tumble; you may even feel like a superhero or a bird in flight. Past participants have described the sensation as “surprisingly natural,” and the “feeling of floating in the air” is a highlight for many.

Post-flight, instructors often provide feedback on how you did and tips for future jumps, if you’re interested in progressing to actual skydiving someday. The entire session lasts about an hour, including check-in, gear fitting, tutorial, flights, and debriefing.

The Value of Four Flights for $99

Priced at $99 per person, this package offers not only four flights but also the equivalent experience of six free-falls from 12,000 feet. That’s a lot of airtime for the price, considering many skydiving experiences charge significantly more for a single jump.

The inclusion of quality flight gear, pre-flight instruction, and a highly skilled instructor makes this a well-rounded adventure. Compared to traditional skydiving, indoor skydiving eliminates the risks associated with jumping from a plane, making it accessible to a broader audience.

Reviewers appreciated the value for money, with one saying, “Four flights for that price felt like a real bargain, especially since I got plenty of coaching and no worries about altitude or safety.” Plus, the short duration makes it easy to fit into a busy sightseeing schedule.

Another review highlighted how the indoor skydiving felt more authentic than expected.
