Skydiving

NZONE Skydive. Here's a different way of taking in the view of Queenstown–-from a tandem skydive. At 15,000 feet the Earth is already taking on that round from-out-of-space look about it that says you're a long way up. You don't have to jump from that high: there are 12,000- and 9,000-feet options. Either way it's an unforgettable experience, helped by Jumpmasters who make you feel at ease (relatively speaking). And it's good to know this company has been operating successfully for more than 23 years. You have to be less than 220 pounds to do a tandem skydive. Reservations and pickup, 35 Shotover St., Queenstown, Otago. 03/442--5867; www.nzone.co.nz. From NZ$299.
