Go Tandem Skydiving

Skydiving is always a unique and thrilling adventure – in Alaska it’s epic. For beginners, a Tandem jump allows you to experience all aspects of freefall and being under canopy with the safety of a highly trained instructor.  With a quick training overview, we can have you in the sky in no time. Tandem jumps are ideal for those who want to check skydiving off their bucket list. It is also the first step in the ASC program to become a licensed skydiver.

We do take walk-ins, but we encourage everyone to book online to lock in a time slot. In Palmer the winds tend to pick up in the afternoon so book online early for the best views. On a clear day during the climb to altitude, it’s possible to experience exquisite views of Denali, Mount Hunter, Mount Foraker, and the central Alaska Range, not to mention a bird’s-eye view of the 25-mile-long Knik Glacier. The views are epic!

You should arrive an hour before your scheduled jump. Upon arrival at the drop zone (DZ) you will check in and be manifested for your flight.  After manifest, your training will begin with an instructor briefing about jump safety and logistics.  Once briefed and trained in the proper body position you will be outfitted for your jump about 20 minutes before your plane arrives. Once your slotted plane arrives on deck you will board our Cessna 206 and climb to 10,000ft.  As a Tandem skydiver you will exit the plane with your harness attached to the instructor and freefall for approximately 45 seconds before your instructor signals you to check your altimeter and open the parachute. After opening, you will experience the thrill of non-motorized flight. Our five-minute flight has some of the most amazing views Alaska has to offer – the Chugach Mountains, majestic Pioneer Peak and the Knik Glacier, the Palmer Hay Flats State Game Refuge, and the braided Matanuska River.
