WOL  ·  Skydiving + scenic flights

Sydney’s only
beach skydive.

Jump over the Illawarra coastline — Lake Illawarra, Wollongong beach and the escarpment spread out beneath you. A rush you’ll remember forever.

Skydive Sydney–Wollongong

The only beach skydive in Sydney

Based right at Wollongong Airport, Skydive Sydney–Wollongong offers tandem skydiving over one of Australia’s most spectacular coastal landscapes. You’ll freefall over Lake Illawarra and Wollongong beach with the Illawarra escarpment framing the view.

As Sydney’s only beach skydive, the views are unmatched — the entire Illawarra coastline unfolds beneath you from 15,000 feet. Experienced instructors make it accessible for first-timers, with tandem jumps available every day conditions allow.

Free parking at the airport means no fuss getting there — just show up and jump.
