Highlights

Melbourne Skydive Centre
Barwon Heads

Melbourne Skydive Centre

The Melbourne Skydive Centre has two exciting locations. The Great Ocean Road where you will see stunning coastal views of The Great Ocean Road, Bells Beach and Melbourne city. Also the Yarra Valley where you will see views of the 141 wineries, Dandenong Ranges and Port Phillip Bay! You begin the day with a briefing with your tandem sky dive instructor. This includes what to expect and what you will see on the plane flight to height, in freefall, under canopy and upon landing. You will walk out to the plane and there you will conduct your practice exits. Once all the ground preparation has been completed, it is time to get in the plane and get ready for take-off! Once you reach height, it will be time to prepare you for the jump. The door opens and as you leave the plane, you and your tandem master will accelerate through the air reaching terminal velocity of 220 kilometres per hour. Freefall feels like riding a cushion of air similar to riding a big wave. In freefall, your senses will be able to take in stunning views as far as the eye can see. Then finally it's time to pull your parachute open. From the loud rushing of air that you hear all around you, the parachute ride is very different as you sail around the sky, gliding. The landing is easy, just lift your legs. The parachute will glide and you will eventually put your feet down to land.

Warbird Air Adventures
Barwon Heads

Warbird Air Adventures

For adrenalin junkies, aircraft nuts, thrill seekers and those who want to experience The Edge. Warbird Air Adventures offers everyone the chance to fly like the aces of yesteryear in the supercharged CJ-6A military aircraft. This is a seriously strong and powerful machine capable of speeds over 400 km/h and G force loading up to +6. Try and lift your arms! All flights are tailored to your capabilities - starting off very gently with some big lazy turns and building up gradually until you are hurtling vertically upwards at full power. Between each manoeuvre your pilot will confer with you before entering the next. Think you will feel sick? Not likely! The mild to wild approach means over 98% of people complete all the manoeuvres. All aerobatic flights include a high speed low level jaunt up the stunning coastline of the Bellarine Peninsular - enjoy the thrill of seeing the beaches and lighthouses flash by before you break off and start your climb to the aerobatic area. High Definition widescreen DVD's of you experience are available, a must for those who simply will not believe you! Non aerobatic sightseeing flights are available or those who would like to experience flight in a genuine ex military aircraft and take in the magnificent views of Port Philip Bay, Bellarine Peninsular and Great Ocean Rd. Bring your camera for the ride and take stunning photos as you smoothly cruise at a sedate 250 km/h. This is the opportunity of a lifetime - few people get to experience anything like the power, speed and exhilaration of a Warbird Air Adventure, and the best part - it is affordable! Don't spend thousands on a Jet Fighter experience when for a few hundred you get the same G forces and manoeuvres in the incredible CJ-6A aircraft.
