Where to skydive?
Cairns – See the Great Barrier Reef from above
Whilst your in Cairns it’s pretty likely that you’ll be heading out on a snorkelling or scuba trip of the great barrier reef! You’ve seen it underwater… now how about seeing it from the sky! This absolutely massive beauty can even be seen from space and you can see it from a birds eye view by doing a skydive up here. Not only will you see the reef, you’ll also be able to see the Daintree Rainforest from the sky!
Mission Beach – Land on the beach!
The home of the beach skydiving landing, Mission beach offers epic views and a landing like no other. If you didn’t know already, all the other skydive locations, you’ll be landing in the airfield after your jump. Not in Mission Beach though! You’ll be landing right on the sand and coming very close to the sea! It’s an epic experience and one of our faves because of its unique landing.
Byron Bay – Give us a wave
Byron Bay is an absolute beauty from the ground but even better from 15,000ft! You’ll see how vast the hinterland around Byron is and also see all of the beautiful crystal clear water and rolling beaches. This doubles up as a scenic flight as you’ll see all of the cape {where the lighthouse is!} as well as the surrounding area. If you do it between July and October you might even see the whales on their migration!
Sydney – Does it get anymore iconic??
If you are starting your east coast roadie in Sydney then what better than to dive right into the deep end and do a skydive checking out this world famous city and the surrounds?! If you are ending your trip here then what better way to round up your trip of a lifetime! Basically, jumping in Sydney is an epic option and you’ll get to take in those good views yewwwwwwww.
Aussie offers so many adrenalin experiences and skydiving is absolutely up there, the RatPack crew love a skydive.. So much so that some of our crew have jumped up to 3 times!!
We’ve dropped some of our top tips below when it comes to your skydive:
- Wear trainers and gym gear (aka not loose clothing!)
- You can’t take your own go pro, if you want to get shots of your experience, buy the camera and video package at the jump zone
- Allow at least half a day for the whole experience!
- Book with us and we can save you $$$ on the direct rate yewwww!

Ryan did an amazing job and guided me through the alternatives of different campervan rentals and helped me to find what suits me for my trip
Planning a huge trip is always a daunting experience but George managed to make the whole experience stress free and enjoyable. Everything from start to finish was personal and easy! Booking with RatPack is like being on the phone to a mate. Super informative, really friendly and we got an amazing deal. All you can ask for really. Thank you RatPack!
Huge thank you to RatPack Travel! We left it pretty late to book our campervan for Tassie and couldn't find many affordable options ourselves. I spoke to Gregg from RatPack on Whatsapp and within 10 minutes he had found us a great vehicle at an amazing price. We've just landed in Hobart and found out we've been upgraded to an even better van at the same price!! Will definitely be recommending RatPack to everyone I know who is planning to travel and see Australia the proper way! Thank you Gregg! ❤️
My booking experience was such a pleasure and quite unique. I assumed I’d be dealing with computer generated prompts but instead had 2 calls with the lovely Anna who worked with our tricky time difference (I’m in Qatar) . Within 24 hours she secured me a great deal on the van that would work best for me. Can’t wait for my December adventure and couldn’t recommend RatPack Travel enough!!
Ryan was very helpful top bloke 👍👍
Super schnelle und gleichzeitig sehr persönliche Abwicklung der Buchung. Anna war sehr freundlich und bei Fragen stets erreichbar. Macht das buchen super easy, sehr guter Service!
I had an incredible experience renting a van with them for my road trip in New Zealand. Ben was exceptionally helpful and made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. We had a pleasant chat, and they were accommodating when I needed to make changes to my booking. Highly recommend this rental company for anyone exploring New Zealand! Can’t wait to get in the road.
Cannot recommend these guys enough!! We recently booked our 3 week holiday in NZ. We would be lying if we said the process of looking for a motorhome/campervan was easy. We spent days tossing up options that hardly met our budget. After a few days of stressing out like a pair of lunatics we came across RatPack Travel, lo and behold they were the saviours we desperately needed! We hopped on a call with Chris and got chatting. Within the hour we locked in a spacious motorhome (with insurance) that met our budget - WE’RE SO STOKED!! We wholeheartedly recommend RatPack Travel to any future holiday makers out there looking for a fast, reliable and friendly service! THANK YOU CHRIS!!! ❤️🔥
Haven't started my journey yet so can't say much but so far the customer service specifically from Ben has been incredible and he was able to find me a great deal and I'm very excited.
A huge thanks to George and Jenna for a great service! Kind, accomodating, and effective!
Anna has been really helpful and made sure I got the best deal for my last minute booking. She made it really easy as I had nothing to do, except for answer questions and review the details to confirm the booking. She was very professional and also answered my questions and gave me tips. The service is free for users as they get paid by the rental company. Thank you to Sammy and Tammy as well for finding a solution for me :). Will recommend your services.
Super helpful and friendly staff. They helped me plan an adventure with my dog in a rental camper and got the best deals. Thank you Ryan F and RatPack.
George was super helpful. He got us the absolute best deal and saved us so much money on our van!
Gregg was great to work with! Made the process so smooth and effortless!
These guys are lifesavers! Needed to book a van for ten days right before arriving in Australia and they did all the heavy lifting finding the van! Huge thank you to Anna for being incredibly friendly and helpful - RatPack is the best!
