Wings Over Queenstown
The iFLY Indoor Skydiving Revolution
From Maori legends to modern-day aviation innovators, the dream of flight is quintessentially Kiwi. Innovation is in New Zealand’s DNA, and it’s in iFLY’s too. In 2018, iFLY Indoor Skydiving Queenstown launched New Zealand’s only state-ofthe-art wind tunnel system, transforming tourism with its award-winning business.
From its inception, iFLY has operated an environmentally friendly 100% electric operation, and supports local communities through the iFLY Whakamana Youth Empowerment Programme. iFLY Queenstown has received multiple accolades, including the Tourism Industry Aotearoa Awards, Business South Tourism Operator of the Year, Chamber of Commerce Excellence in Service Delivery, and Qualmark Gold.
iFLY pioneered human body flight in Aotearoa, making the dream of flight a reality. Since then, iFLY Queenstown has flown over 100,000 customers from all over the world. The iFLY experience is created by a smooth, wall-to-wall cushion of air on which anyone can safely float. Simply lean into the airflow, and you’re flying! There’s no parachute, no jumping, and nothing attaching you to Planet Earth. It’s just YOU, indoor skydiving in the heart of New Zealand’s adventure capital!
iFLY Indoor Skydiving is flying, not falling! If you’ve ever dreamed of experiencing the freedom, exhilaration, and rush of skydiving, but the thought of jumping out of a perfectly good plane terrifies you, you’re definitely not alone – in fact far from it! The word ‘skydiving’ invokes an emotional response from nearly everyone. Indoor skydiving, is a far less terrifying experience for a firsttime flyer and instead of falling, you are in control of your first body flight experience. It’s the closest humans will get to flight in a safe and controlled environment, without plummeting to the ground from 4 km up!
Indoor skydiving opens a whole new world to those wishing to experience the sensation of body flight without taking a massive jump out of their comfort zone. The best part is that nearly anyone can indoor skydive! iFLY has flown over 100,000 first-time flyers, receiving thousands of 5-star reviews. iFLY is for all ages, 5 to 105, all abilities, in all weather, and operates late into the night. The current NZ record holder for indoor skydiving is 94 years young, and iFLY frequently hosts entire generations of families—from kids to great-grandparents
young at heart! You don’t have to be an athlete to indoor skydive. iFLY is one of the few activities welcoming customers of all abilities, encouraging and supporting anyone with a disability to fly and is proud to have the tourism industry’s first All Abilities Ambassador Programme.
iFLY’s highly trained, world-class instructors are experienced in supporting new and seasoned flyers of all ages and abilities. Coaching you through the entire flying process, iFLY guarantees an uplifting adrenaline rush like nothing you’ve ever experienced.
