Frequently asked questions
What's the most intense moment of the jump?
Freefall is the raw peak of the experience: you exit the aircraft at altitude and accelerate before the parachute deploys. The transition from freefall to canopy is the sharpest shift in sensation during the session.

No. The physical level for the 228 € jump is listed as “Everybody welcome”, meaning no prior skydiving or freefall experience is required. You jump in tandem with a certified instructor who handles the technical side.

Swakopmund sits at the edge of the Namib Desert, where the dune coastline meets the Atlantic Ocean. You freefall over one of the most visually striking landscapes on the continent, with the desert-ocean boundary visible beneath you.
