Highlights
Discover skydiving secured in a harness to a United States Parachute Association-certified instructor who has completed hundreds of jumps. This tandem experience introduces you to the sport at a small East Texas dropzone.
- Meet your instructor before your jump, with time to ask questions and get comfortable
Itinerary
After a short, 15-minute training session, you’ll fly with the instructor up to your jump height of 10,000 feet.
Freefall lasts for about 30–45 seconds, but most people tell us it feels like hours. You’ll be in the wide open sky, getting a view of East Texas that most people will never see.
Your instructor will open the parachute at about 5,000 feet. The two of you will work together to fly the canopy, enjoying an easy drift down to your landing zone.
