If you have never taken a skydive or flown in a light aircraft or helicopter, experiencing the adrenaline rush and amazing scenery these sports offer, then a visit to Lake Macquarie Airport should be on your to-do list.

Lake Macquarie Airport sits on a thin strip of land between the Pacific Ocean on one side and Lake Macquarie on the other.

Once you get off the ground in this idyllic location the view is stunning and the airport has plenty of options to get you up there.

Skydive Newcastle offers your closest beach skydive experience for the ultimate adrenaline rush.

You'll drop from an extreme altitude of up to 15,000 feet and free-fall at more than 200km/h for up to an insane 60 seconds.

Then you'll float under canopy over Lake Macquarie for five to seven minutes soaking up spectacular beach, lake and city views.

Skydive Newcastle is the skydiving experience of a lifetime - so step outside your comfort zone and push your boundaries with the skydiving crew.

After it's all over you can relive the thrill with videos or photos as part of available package deals.

Finally, you'll experience the thrills of air racing as your pilot takes you through a simulated air race track.
