    This was one of the best experiences of my life. Skydive Dubai were extremely professional, the activity itself is incredibly well designed and the trainers and handlers are unbelievably skilled. I just had a delightful experience :) And headout offered a fantastic deal and it was super duper easy to book tickets and avail them at the center :) I was able to pay in my currency as well. All in all, thoroughly joyous experience

    Helpful staff, well organised and professional. The camera team were great in getting the perfect shots for an unforgettable experience. If your hesitant to do it, don't be, it will be one of the best things you do.

    I was thrilled from the time i booked online and you sent me clips abt how it is done. I then learned that it is a secured activity and all i just wanna do is feel the dive , the fall, the flight with the parachute and the safe landing. And with a tandem instructor sir Mikiy who is well experienced in doing it made me trust you guys. You did a very good job and i was not only thrilled but also felt it is worth the price❤️
  • Did you ever imagine you could soar over what is sometimes considered Dubai's eighth wonder of the world? SkyDive Dubai, the biggest name in adventure sports in the city, makes this experience possible!

    All the Pre-Boarding Prep in-store

    On the day of your reservation, you will have to make your way to the Palm Drop Zone. After registration and waiver forms are filled out, and your BMI is calculated for safety reasons, a spot for you will be reserved on one of SkyDubai's aircraft. About 30 mins before you board the plane, you will be introduced to your instructor who will walk you through the whole procedure, give you a safety briefing, walk you through the best positions for the free fall that is soon to come, and help you put on your harness. You will be accompanied by a camera flyer who will interview you before boarding (be sure to smile every time you see them!).

    You will then be taken to the boarding area, taking pictures all the while, as safety checks are conducted on all equipment and the aircraft itself.

    Soaring through the Dubai Sky

    Next, board your aircraft and, as you ascend, get to marvel at breathtaking views of the surrounding areas. The ride on the way up is 20 mins long and right before you reach exit altitude, a whopping 13,000ft or 4,000m, you will be harnessed to the front of your instructor and checked over once more before jumping from the aircraft. You will freefall for a full 60 seconds, but do try to smile for the camera as you do! Your parachute will finally deploy at 6000ft, following which you will have up to 5 minutes of a comparatively relaxing parachute ride, allowing you to get your bearings and admire the incredible views of the surrounding areas as you descend. You can optionally opt for one-way premium transfer to the drop zone.

    The rest is better experienced than told, but we can guarantee, you're not bound to forget it any time soon!
