Skydiving Franz Josef Glacier, New Zealand – Our First Jump!

We ticked off a major bucket list item on our New Zealand adventure — our first-ever skydive, and we chose the number 1 spot in the country: Franz Josef Glacier! 🪂 Ranked as one of the top 10 skydiving locations in the world by Redbull, Franz Josef Glacier didn’t disappoint. The adrenaline, the views, and the sheer thrill of free-falling over the stunning South Island landscapes made this an experience we’ll never forget. After landing, we hopped back into our campervan and continued our epic New Zealand road trip, exploring incredible locations along the West Coast, from Franz Josef to Abel Tasman National Park. Waterfalls, coastal drives, and hidden gems — this adventure has it all! 🎟️ Want to take the leap too?
