Where to skydive?
Cairns – See the Great Barrier Reef from above
Whilst your in Cairns it’s pretty likely that you’ll be heading out on a snorkelling or scuba trip of the great barrier reef! You’ve seen it underwater… now how about seeing it from the sky! This absolutely massive beauty can even be seen from space and you can see it from a birds eye view by doing a skydive up here. Not only will you see the reef, you’ll also be able to see the Daintree Rainforest from the sky!
Mission Beach – Land on the beach!
The home of the beach skydiving landing, Mission beach offers epic views and a landing like no other. If you didn’t know already, all the other skydive locations, you’ll be landing in the airfield after your jump. Not in Mission Beach though! You’ll be landing right on the sand and coming very close to the sea! It’s an epic experience and one of our faves because of its unique landing.
Byron Bay – Give us a wave
Byron Bay is an absolute beauty from the ground but even better from 15,000ft! You’ll see how vast the hinterland around Byron is and also see all of the beautiful crystal clear water and rolling beaches. This doubles up as a scenic flight as you’ll see all of the cape {where the lighthouse is!} as well as the surrounding area. If you do it between July and October you might even see the whales on their migration!
Sydney – Does it get anymore iconic??
If you are starting your east coast roadie in Sydney then what better than to dive right into the deep end and do a skydive checking out this world famous city and the surrounds?! If you are ending your trip here then what better way to round up your trip of a lifetime! Basically, jumping in Sydney is an epic option and you’ll get to take in those good views yewwwwwwww.
Aussie offers so many adrenalin experiences and skydiving is absolutely up there, the RatPack crew love a skydive.. So much so that some of our crew have jumped up to 3 times!!
We’ve dropped some of our top tips below when it comes to your skydive:
- Wear trainers and gym gear (aka not loose clothing!)
- You can’t take your own go pro, if you want to get shots of your experience, buy the camera and video package at the jump zone
- Allow at least half a day for the whole experience!
- Book with us and we can save you $$$ on the direct rate yewwww!

Absolutely recommended to anyone wanting to take the stress out of booking a camper van! Ben made the process for me so smooth and he genuinely cared for what my trip entailed and catered right to it! Blown away with his kindness and couldn’t be more happy with the price and deal we go for our van!
10/10 service! So helpful and friendly! Looking forward to heading on the trip already 😊
Jenna & Ryan are very professionals and helpful. Wish them the best
This shout out is for James! He took all of our worries,stress and anxiety about our up coming snow road trip and chucked them out the window. In under 30 minutes he had us booked with a better deal,upgraded vehicle and many laughs. Just for his service alone we will be back for every holiday! Thanks heaps James we look forward to our holiday because of you, now I can drive to Sydney today with a clear mind and no worries of having to sleep on my bike in the middle of the snow ⛄️ I have to mention his concern for safety was top notch with not wanting myself or my partner to have a bed fall on our heads again 😂
Jenna and Ryan were very helpful from the beginning to the end of the booking process. They shared all the details needed for our trip and in good time. Once our trip had been confirmed Ryan supported us through the phone call explaining next steps, payment and the process. We are very happy with the service we received! Thank you again and we look forward to our trip!
Ben made our camper van booking experience a breeze, very professional and easy process, would be happy to recommend to anyone!
Mikey was very efficient and easy to deal with, we booked a camper and the whole process took around 1 hour from him getting us prices, speaking to different dealerships and us paying our deposit.
