Yes! Basically, anyone can fly with us, there are a few restrictions that make indoor skydiving not possible with us:
In case of neck, back and shoulder problems, we advise you to report this to your instructor.
Contact lenses and glasses: Everyone receives a pair of goggles that fits over your glasses. If you have contact lenses, please inform your instructor. Then you will be given special glasses for lenses.”
The total experience for the recreational flyer is about 2 hours. This includes the process from check-in, instruction, to flying and receiving the flight certificate afterwards.
Each flight lasts 1 minute, which is equivalent to a tandem parachute jump from 4km (13,000ft). From this altitude, the free fall time is 60 seconds. However, most standard tandems in the Netherlands jump from 9,000ft and then your freefall time is about 30 seconds.
So if you booked a package with 4 flights, you fly 4 times 60 seconds. In between, other people fly.”
No cameras or phones are allowed with you during the flight and in the antechamber, the waiting area just next to the tunnel, due to safety reasons. Videos will be taken of you while flying. These will be offered by email for €10 and can be shared directly on social media.
Comfortable clothing, for example sports trousers and t-shirt. Preferably no outerwear with a collar.
In terms of shoes, please wear closed shoes with laces and soft soles, preferably trainers or sports shoes. Sandals, flip-flops and open shoes are not allowed.
We provide all guests with a suitable flightsuit, helmet, goggles and earplugs. If necessary, sports shoes can be borrowed from size 31 to size 47.
People with long hair, we recommend braiding it.”
Both disciplines are similar when it comes to flying with your body. Other than that, there are no similarities.
The difference is that in indoor skydiving, the flight is made in a vertical wind tunnel. Where powerful turbines create the “lift”. In outdoor skydiving, this is created by the fall from the plane. Where after about 35 seconds, the free fall is inhibited by the parachute.
In indoor skydiving, you have the opportunity to fly for minutes in the tunnel. This controlled environment has other advantages; you can do it without being certified, you are not dependent on the weather and also the costs are significantly lower than outdoor skydiving.
City Skydive wind tunnels are staffed by certified tunnel instructors. At all times, the presence of an instructor is mandatory. As an experienced flyer, you get more freedom, but there will also always be an instructor in the door for safety.
City Skydive participates in the recognised Tunnelinstructor.org training programme and meets the highest mandatory periodic inspection requirements. The tunnels are also checked daily for proper operation.
Safety for our guests and instructors is our number one priority.”
We recommend making a reservation. If you do want to drop by without an appointment, we will do our utmost to get you flying as soon as possible.”
As a recreational flyer, you stay within easy reach of our instructor. Or rather, the first few metres of our 23-metre tunnels. This ensures your safety and makes it easy to communicate with your instructor. As an experienced sports pilot, you are allowed to use the entire flying room.”
Absolutely, cozy right! City Skydive’s building is designed with lots of glass so visitors have a pleasant viewing experience both from the flight floor and on the terrace “the red wing” .
Your event that will be talked about for years to come is with us. We would love to welcome your staff, relations, friends or association to make them feel unforgettable in our tunnels.
During your visit, there is the possibility of buying off our extensive bar. We can also dress up your stay with a good catering service, from a simple snack to an extensive buffet. We would be happy to discuss your wishes in advance.
Groups of up to nine people can book their flights via our online booking system. Check the link below for more info.
Great place, great people. Everything was super organized. The instructors are passionate; you can tell they know what they’re doing. If anyone’s stressed, there’s really no need!
very good accessibility of the location, clean toilets, generally well-kept facility ☺️👌
Een fantastische instructrice Naomi zeer zeker de moeite waard
Van een afstand dachten we dat we dit wel aankonden, maar toen we het zelf ervoeren, beseften we hoe uitdagend het eigenlijk is. Toch weten we zeker dat we terug zullen komen.
Het personeel is erg attent en leuk. Het feit dat het een andere sport is en dat we die simuleren, was echt een geweldige ervaring. Het is absoluut het geld waard.
Dit wil je een keer meemaken, super leuk!
Alles is in orde.
Erg leuke ervaring. De prachtige demonstraties die de instructeurs geven na afloop zijn indrukwekkend en tonen wat er allemaal mogelijk is. In groot contrast met ons beginnersgestuntel
Complimenten naar instructeur Bas voor de zeer fijne en duidelijke uitleg!!
De kinderen vonden het super gaaf om echt te vliegen
Geweldige plek. Modern gebouwontwerp, leuk voor kinderen en volwassenen. Ongelooflijk.
Spannend. Zeker een bezoek waard.
Hele bijzondere ervaring! Heel vriendelijk personeel die je allemaal goed helpt en het begeleidt. Echt een leuk uitje om te doen, ook leuk om vaker te doen en echt te oefenen en hier beter in te worden.
Hele gave ervaring! Super leuk uitje gehad met mijn man en dochter. Ja, het is een hoop geld, maar dat is volkomen begrijpelijk — en bovendien niet iets wat je elke week doet.
Het personeel was onwijs vriendelijk. Je voelt je direct welkom en de sfeer is erg prettig. Je kunt er ook lekker iets te drinken bestellen. We kregen goede uitleg en perfecte begeleiding.
Even een extra shout-out naar Daan, onze instructeur. Hij deed het super leuk én professioneel. Daarnaast wist hij onze dochter van zeven, die het toch wel erg spannend vond, helemaal gerust te stellen. Daardoor heeft ze nu een prachtige herinnering. Aan het einde vroeg ze zelfs: “Wanneer gaan we weer? Want de volgende keer wil ik nóg hoger!” Bedankt daarvoor!
