sports jumpers welcome!
Join our community of regular fun jumpers and take in the incredible views of Byron Bay and the Great Ocean Road when you jump over these two beautiful Skydive Australia drop zones.
At both our Byron Bay & Great Ocean Road drop zones, we’ve got fast planes that can seat up to 20 people, meaning there’s always plenty of room to jump with your mates. When you jump with us, you’ll enjoy amazing views, a great crew, regular training camps, personalised coaching in multiple disciplines and of course, a strong emphasis on safety.
From AFF students to highly experienced jumpers, we cater to everyone. At our drop zones, everyone always looks out for one another and is willing to help each other out.
We welcome new faces and encourage you to come and join in on the action!

Byron Bay
Skydive Byron Bay, Hangar 1
Tyagarah Airfield, Pacific Hwy
Tyagarah, NSW 2481
Getting there
Scoot 10-minutes out of town and you’ll find yourself in a container of courage, otherwise known as our Byron Bay drop zone at Tyagarah Airport. For convenience, both your take-off and landing will be here!
Our address is Skydive Byron Bay, Hangar 1 Tyagarah Airfield, Pacific Highway, Tyagarah NSW 2481.
Please note:
WE DO NOT RECOMMEND USING NAVIGATORS as most suggest to turn into Grays Lane which is no longer accessible and dangerous.
Skydive Byron Bay is currently open seven days a week for sports jumping. We jump from 15,000ft over the stunning Northern Rivers region, with spectacular views of Byron Bay and beyond.
Unfortunately, our drop zone suffered serious damage from the floods earlier in 2022, however we do have toilets, a covered carpeted packing area, a training room, lunch fridge and a vending machine. There is also a service station just a quick one minute drive down the road from the DZ which sells a selection of hot food.
We do not currently have any on-site accommodation available, however the nearest accommodation options are Brunswick Heads, Mullumbimby and Byron Bay, all of which are less than 15 min drive from the DZ.
From the Top Shop to the Top Pub, you’re not short of things to do in Byron Bay. Take a dip in the still waters of Wategos, down cocktails at The Loft and find hippie trinkets and clothing galore at the not-to-be-missed markets. When sleep is in order, you can get as high-end as Rae’s and Victoria’s, or cheap and cheerful at Arts Factory Lodge, plus plenty of mid-range places like the Atlantic catering for the in-between.
