ORLANDO TANDEM SKYDIVING: IN A NUTSHELL
Tandem skydiving is the perfect way for first-time jumpers to experience the thrill of freefall — and the Orlando, Florida area offers an incredible backdrop to do it.
With a tandem skydive, you’re securely harnessed to a highly trained, certified instructor who handles all the technical details, from exit to landing. You get to focus on the fun: the rush of freefall, the unbeatable views, and that unforgettable feeling of flying.
Your adventure begins with a short ground briefing where your instructor explains exactly what to expect. Then it’s time to gear up, board the aircraft, and climb to altitude. Once the door opens, you’ll step into the sky together, experiencing up to 60 seconds of freefall before your parachute opens and the ride slows into a smooth, scenic canopy flight. No prior experience is needed — tandem skydiving is designed to be safe, accessible, and exciting for anyone ready to try something extraordinary – especially for those visiting the Orlando area!
