Product Information
Full details
This indoor skydiving experience is ideal for thrill-seekers and first-time flyers looking to simulate the adrenaline of freefall in a secure, controlled environment. By utilizing a high-powered vertical wind tunnel, participants experience the sensation of flight without the need for aircraft or parachutes, offering the equivalent freefall time of three tandem skydives in just two sessions. While it provides an accessible entry point to body flight, prospective participants should be aware that strict physical weight limits and age requirements apply to ensure safety.

Can I bring my own skydiving gear?

Can I take photos during the flight?
You cannot take photos yourself while in the tunnel, but most locations offer professional media packages to purchase after your flight.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty maintaining stability in the air
Focus on keeping your chin up and maintaining a slight arch in your back. Follow the instructor's hand signals carefully for posture corrections.
Feeling overwhelmed by the wind speed
Remember that the instructor is inside the tunnel with you at all times. Use the hand signal for 'relax' if you feel tense, and breathe steadily.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before arrival, ensure you have your voucher ready and have booked your slot at your chosen facility. Wear comfortable clothing, such as a T-shirt and shorts or leggings, and ensure you wear lace-up trainers that fit securely, as slip-ons are not permitted in the wind tunnel.
Upon arrival, you will check in and attend a comprehensive ground school session. Instructors will teach you the specific hand signals used to communicate inside the noisy tunnel environment. You will be fitted with a specialized flight suit that goes over your clothing, a helmet, and goggles. For those with long hair, it is recommended to tie it back securely to avoid interference with the wind stream.
