Frequently Asked Questions;

Do I have to be 18?

Yes

I am over 200lbs can I still skydive?

You may not weigh for than 250lbs and there will be an additional charge of $10 per 10lbs for anyone weighing 200lbs or more.

Do I have to sign a waiver?

Yes, everyone signs a waiver of liability for Tandems.

What kind of clothes should I wear?

You should wear comfortable sneakers and clothes; shorts and a T-shirt are fine.  We have jumpsuits and goggles available for you.

What about if I wear glasses or contacts?

No problem, we supply goggles that will fit over your glasses or keep your contacts in.

What if I am too old or in poor physical condition?

We look at people individually to assess their ability. You may not weigh for than 250lbs and there will be an additional charge of $10 per 10lbs for anyone weighing 200lbs or more. We have taken people as old as 89 years of age.

How hard will I land?

'Ram-Air' (square) parachutes these days fly like airplanes or gliders and sail through the air. They can slow down a great deal, so most of our landings are soft stand-up landings or sometimes we 'sit-down' when landing.

Do you jump in all weather and are you open everyday?

Although Hawaii has some of the best skydiving weather, we will not be jumping when it is raining or very windy. Weather can causes unexpected delays, so please be patient, we are trying to get you in the air as quickly and safely as possible.  We are open every day except Christmas.

What other extra costs are involved?

None. Our prices include everything you need to make the jump that you are paying for. The only optional extra cost item you may choose is video and photos that you may inquire about the day of your jump

If I decide to get  the optional pictures and video does another person skydive with me and take both pictures and video?

Yes, only one aerial photographer/videographer can actually jump with you. They wear a helmet that has a Digital Still Camera and Video camera mounted. Photos and video are taken simultaneously.

Are customers expected to tip their Instructors?

No, tipping is not required nor expected, but of course, it is always appreciated if you feel they did a great job.

I have a friend/spouse that does not want skydive; can they come along and watch?

Yes, there is a $30.00 charge for all non-skydiving "riders" if you need transportation from Waikiki.  If you drive yourself there is no extra charges for spectators.

What is the training for Tandem?

You will be briefed on what tandem skydives are all about and how to perform during a normal tandem jump. After this is complete we will brief you on the equipment, the freefall, canopy control and landing. Then we will get you on an airplane as soon as possible.

What is your cancellation policy?

Up to 24 hours of skydiving tour start time for a full refund, Any cancellations made within 24 hours of the activity start time will be subject to a 100% charge.

I know you offer transportation but can we drive to the drop zone?

Yes, we are located on the North Shore of Oahu which is about a 45 minute drive from Waikiki.  Directions will be emailed to you once we receive your reservation.

When and how do I pay for my tandem skydive?

You pay online with a credit card and cancel anytime up to 24 hours of skydiving tour start time for a full refund

How long will this all take ?

Pickup times are from 7:00 to 7:30am in Waikiki. Return time depends on several factors. We usually leave the north shore by 12:00 or 1:00pm and have you back in Waikiki by 12:45 or 1:45pm. We can be delayed by Weather, traffic and busy times of the year like during Golden week and the Honolulu Marathon. We are 95% on time.
