A low thrum builds in the plane as it climbs above the ochre curve of WA coastline; beneath, Rottnest Island glows—white sand, scrub, and reef—its bays like cutouts of the Indian Ocean. The tandem skydive from Hillarys Boat Harbour pairs the old-fashioned ferry crossing with modern free-fall: a scenic fast-ferry ride, a pre-jump safety briefing, then up to altitude and as much as 66 seconds of free fall before a quiet parachute glide and a soft beach landing.
