About
The rush of 100% pure flight at New Zealand’s first and only indoor skydiving facility. When you come to iFLY get ready to be blown away – literally. It’s thrilling. It’s amazing. Feel the rush of freefall as you float on a smooth column of air. There’s no parachute, no jumping, and nothing attaching you to Planet Earth. It’s just YOU, flying in the heart of New Zealand’s adventure capital.

- tresag7201Blenheim, New Zealand406 contributionsGood funWe had the 4 flights (4mins) which they did as two x two mins flights each. Emma was our instructor and was lovely . You can go in and just watch if that is what you want to do. But if you are flying then you need to be there an hour before your time . Fill in the waiver and then wait for the instructor to get you . They then give you a suit, helmet and ear plugs . Show you what you the simple things you need to do and what the hand signals mean . Then you sit and wait your turn . Once it’s your turn , you sit and wait near the tunnel and then they take you on your flight . It is a bit harder than what you think , as your body just wants to drop. But once you get it it’s all good . My daughter and I did find that it is hard on your shoulder if you have had a shoulder injury . ( If you have dislocated your shoulders before then you will need to speak to the staff if you can do it ) But we still enjoyed it . We were lucky as we paid a special of $99 pp for our 4 airborne flight . (I personally would not pay the full amount of $239 pp for the 4 airborne flights). If you want to go higher you pay extra also. They have lockers avail to at no charge which is great . Photos were $10 for all the ones they take of you ( emailed to you) . All the staff were friendly , encouraging and helpful. There were varying ages doing the iFly from 5 years upwards. IFly is located a short walk from town or a two or three min walk from the base of the Skyline Gondola . There is paid parking on street or a carpark few metres away( $6 -7 for 12 hrs ). Go and enjoy something different . Thanks iFlyVisited July 2020Traveled with familyWritten July 9, 2020
- WayneAPCity of Greater Geelong, Australia3,583 contributionsWhat a blastWe were given a display by the crew who showed what was possible with a lot of practice. The strain on their faces showed that it takes a lot of physical strength to make moving around harder than it looked. $188 for two minutes and only $199 for four minutes makes it seem expensive for such a short experience.Visited March 2020Traveled as a coupleWritten March 4, 2020
- Sharyn DNorth Shore, New Zealand18 contributionsWell worth the spend!Amazing! We've been to a similar experience before in Rotorua years ago but thanks to the incredible staff this was so much better! Loved this. Our instructor was fantastic, supportive, and the enthusiastic. She was super friendly, explained superbly, made sure everyone had fun and took care of all the hard parts to make every person's experience was a success. Fully recommend the hi fight and photographic add on to the basic session. We had a pre-teen, a couple of older teenagers and 3 mums in our group and everyone was grinning ear to ear.Awesome, thank you for your 5 star review! We are so stoked to hear everyone in your group gave it a go! Its so much fun regardless of age or ability, and so much more entertaining when everyone gets involved. Ill pass your comments on to the team, they will be so happy to hear you all had a blast. Come back and visit again soon.Written February 2, 2022This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited December 2021Traveled with familyWritten December 17, 2021

We a group of 6 (8 years to 70years) did a group pack of 16minute flight time for up to 8 persons, additionally two did add on virtual experience.
iFly experience is a memory to be cherished and was thoroughly enjoyed by all of us.
Initially, we were bit apprehensive about the flight duration of 1 minute but decided to take the leap and we were blown away - literally.
All the staff, right from booking to good bye, were very customer focus, warm and understanding. We experienced a great team work among the staff.
During the flight there is a one to one assistance provided and if need be a second staff member joins to enhance the experience of customer.
Great team building exercise.
With every flight you can improve your flying skills.
Must do while in Queenstown.
Looking forward to next visit to Queenstown

Loved it. My instructor, Sveta, was friendly, clear, and inspired confidence. You’re only airborne for a few minutes total, but it’s a memorable experience and worth every penny. I did the VR flight too and was impressed with the quality and low latency of the video.

Great fun for all ages. Friendly staff - even though it is expensive for just a few minutes you really enjoy the waiting watching everyone else. Also it’s free to come in a just view … but be warned it makes you want to try too!

Thanks so much, Dotty, we loved reading this review. We price it to be as affordable as possible, and when you consider it as freefall equivalent of 3 solo skydives, the value is amazing. Free to spectate and you're absolutely right, it makes you want to join in the fun!
Hope to see you back again soon

The kids and Dad went to iFly today and loved the experience. Something totally new and great fun. The instructor was very friendly and patient showing them what to do. Often the instructors would do a small demo of their skills between lessons. They were amazing. Well worth a go!

Ok we didn't have the i-fly experience at the top of our to do list but were enticed in with a game of "chance" discount out the front. Once inside we were a bit nervous and me with a shoulder injury and my wife with a below knee prosthetic we thought it was more for younger thrill seekers. We were so wrong. Ollie made as feel confident and once we understood the activity more we became keen to give it a go. 4 minutes of flying each was so exhilarating as we learnt and adapted to the jet stream. Booked again for tomorrow and can see how addictive at any age and ability this sport can be...

This is an awesome activity - we did the basic flight in July and made a point of coming back to Queenstown especially to do it again and chose the 10 flight package. It's fantastic. All the staff and instructors are great and friendly and extra shout out to Sveta who helped us all advance our skills really quickly. It's not just fun but also builds confidence in my two kids and a better body awareness. They loved it!

We were walking to the Queenstown Gondola when we passed the iFly sign saying that spectators are welcome to watch for free. Even though I have been tandem skydiving twice, I didn't even know that there was such a sport as indoor skydiving. Although I had no intention of actually doing it I decided to check it out when we came down from the Gondola. When we went in to watch there were two guys with the instructor in the cage and one other spectator. After they left we still sat in the spectator seats. Murphy, the instructor, came over and did a great no pressure soft sell job of describing the experience. After a few minutes and with my wife's encouragement, I decided to try it. I started with the minimum package and was having so much fun, I decided to double my time. Murphy, was very encouraging and a fabulous instructor. He also told me many experienced skydivers come there to practice. Although it takes some practice to actually control yourself, doing the basics with Murphy is quite easy. It was great fun and I heartily recommend it.

This was SO MUCH FUN! I can not recommend this activity enough. I know want to go sky diving, bungy jumping and all the things. I will 100% be back on my next trip to QT and give iFly a go in sydney where I live. My friend and I enjoyed it so much we paid for more sessions instantly and would have kept going except for other people having a go. Seriously fabulous experience - this was also because the staff were super pro and really helped make it even more enjoyable. They all seem fabulous however we had Oliver who was patient, a great teacher and so fabulous to work with. Just do it :)

We enjoyed the challenge of these flights - even those who were afraid of heights!
Would really recommend doing at least 2 flights (and more if you can stretch to it). The first flight helps you get your bearings and overcome any fears, with the remaining flights giving you the opportunity to fly high into the top of the tube with one of the very experienced instructors and practice flying without hands on assistance for a time. The instructor is always in the tube with you, guiding your movement and giving non-verbal tips. It’s all over in a flash, but is worth the experience!

The adult, me, did ONE flight while the kiddo did SEVEN! What's this world coming to?! When I was 6, I was playing with sticks and marbles. Fastforward 37 years and my 6 year old gets to simulate jumping out of an aeroplane and skydiving. No FAIR!
But seriously, this is great fun; absolutely amazing. If you've never sky-dived before but want to, this is as close as you'll get to the real thing.
Also, big ups to the instructors, especially Rangi and Murphy, for being so cool and awesome!

Kia Ora, Thank you so much for the awesome 5 star review.
7 flights - what an absolute little rock star of a kiddo you have!
We completely agree. Its the closest you are going to get to real skydiving without the jumping out if a plane part. Its a great alternative for those that aren't quite ready to take that leap of faith or want to practice before they do! We are so glad you enjoyed your experience with us and thank you for taking the time to write us an awesome review. Hope you come visit us again some time soon. Kind regards, Team iFly Queenstown.
