The offer
Frequently asked questions
What's the most intense moment of the jump?
Freefall from 3,000 m is the peak of the experience. You exit the aircraft and enter freefall before the parachute deploys, then glide down over the lagoon and mountains of Moorea.
Do you need to be afraid of heights to back out?
Fear of heights is common among first-time jumpers. The operator accepts everyone regardless of experience, and your tandem instructor handles all technical decisions. Your only job is to jump.
How long is the actual skydive versus the full booking?
The full experience runs 3h to half a day, which includes briefing, gear-up, the aircraft ascent to 3,000 m, the jump itself, and landing. The freefall and canopy ride are a fraction of that total time.
Is the jump available year-round?
No seasonal window is listed for this activity, but weather over French Polynesia can affect jump days. Confirm your date directly with Tahiti Parachutisme - Skydive Tahiti before booking travel around your jump.
