Factors That Affect Skydiving Costs

Several factors can influence the total cost of your skydiving experience:

1. Media Packages

As mentioned above, adding video and photo packages will increase your total investment but provide lasting memories of your experience.

2. Group Discounts

We offer special group rates for parties of 10 or more people. This makes skydiving a perfect activity for:

  • Corporate team building
  • Bachelor/bachelorette parties
  • Birthday celebrations
  • Family adventures

3. Seasonal Specials

We occasionally offer discounted rates during winter months (our Winter Wonderland Special) and other promotional periods. Check our website regularly to be informed about these opportunities.

4. Weather

The weather will not affect the price, but it could cause your jump to be rescheduled. This could mean an additional trip out to the airport. Your deposit will still be applied if we have to reschedule due to weather. 

Additional Costs to Consider

When budgeting for your skydiving adventure, keep these additional considerations in mind:

1. Required Deposit

A $25 non-refundable deposit is required at the time of booking. This amount is applied toward your total package cost.

2. Gratuity

While not mandatory, tipping your instructor is customary if you enjoyed your experience (typically 15-20% of the jump cost).

3. Merchandise

You might want to purchase t-shirts, hoodies, hats or other memorabilia to commemorate your jump.
