The offer
Frequently asked questions
What's the most intense moment of the jump?
Freefall is the peak of the experience. You exit the aircraft at altitude and accelerate to terminal velocity before your instructor deploys the parachute. The transition from freefall to canopy flight is an immediate, full-body shift in sensation.
Do you need to be afraid of heights to enjoy this?
Fear of heights on the ground and the sensation during a skydive are genuinely different experiences. At altitude, there's no visual reference point anchoring you to the ground the way a ladder or cliff edge does. Most first-timers report the freefall feeling as more of a rush than a drop.
What makes jumping over Maspalomas specifically worth it?
You freefall and glide directly above the Maspalomas dune system, one of the largest sand dune fields in Europe. The contrast between the Atlantic, the dunes and the island coastline is visible from altitude in a way that's impossible from the ground.
Is one session enough, or do people go back for more?
The 1.5h tandem format covers briefing, gear-up, the jump and landing. It's a complete standalone experience. Regulars who want more control typically progress to solo AFF training, but that's a separate programme not included in this offer.

Equipment
Wear comfortable, close-fitting clothes and lace-up sneakers. The physical level is "occasionally sporty", so nothing technical is required, but loose scarves, sandals and bulky jewellery are a hard no.
