About Top End Tandems

Choose Top End Tandems

Warm temperate air, blue skies and soft beach landings make Darwin the perfect spot to experience your first tandem jump. Our safety record is spotless, and our highly trained and experienced tandem masters have thousands of jumps under their belt (or parachute).

About your jump

Your jump starts at Darwin International Airport, where you’ll take off and soar over Darwin. The views are amazing. Once we reach altitude, the thrills begin with a freefall at over 200km per hour before the parachute is deployed and you can relax and enjoy the aerial views over Lee Point Beach as you safely descend onto the soft sand. Take it all in; there’s nothing else like it.

Visiting from out of town?

Darwin is a popular destination for both international and local tourists, and a tandem skydive is the perfect cornerstone experience to add to your holiday in Northern Australia.

Making a tandem jump part of your holiday is easy. We’re flexible in jump days and times, so we can schedule your tandem jump for when it suits your holiday schedule. Just ask our friendly team.

A bit about our history

Owned and operated by Ashley “Ash” Smith, Top End Tandems is a business born of fun and passion. Taking his first tandem jump over two decades ago, Ash fell in love with skydiving and the spectacular thrill of soaring over Darwin’s beautiful tropical landscape. Now, with one of the best safety records in the industry, people choose to skydive the beach with Top End Tandems because of the unbeatable location and conditions, highly trained and experience tandem masters, and the team’s ability to make every jump a no holds barred thrill ride.
