Tandem Skydive over Palm Jumeirah
A tandem jump from around 4,000 metres above Palm Jumeirah, with sixty seconds of freefall and the island unrolling beneath you.
This is Dubai seen from above, at the most exhilarating moment of any trip. You climb by aircraft to around 4,000 metres over Palm Jumeirah, then leave the door harnessed to a licensed instructor for roughly a minute of freefall while the island, the Marina and the coastline open out below you. The canopy blooms overhead and a few calm minutes of gliding carry you back to the sand. Every piece of equipment, the briefing and the filming are included, and we arrange the day privately around your jump window.

Do I need any experience to jump?
None at all. This is a tandem jump, so you are harnessed to a licensed instructor who controls the exit, the freefall and the landing; your only task is to enjoy the view.
How high is the jump and how long is the freefall?
You leave the aircraft at around four thousand metres, with roughly sixty seconds of freefall before the canopy opens for a calm four to five minute glide back to the drop zone.
Will I get photos and video?
Yes. Your instructor films the exit, the freefall and the landing, so you leave with video and photographs of the whole jump along with a certificate.
