Skydiving on the island is one of the most intense ways to experience the island from the air. The feeling of freefall, the altitude, the speed and the moment when the parachute opens make this an experience that is hard to forget.
If you have never jumped before, the most common way to start is a tandem skydive. With this type of jump, you do not need previous experience or a full training course, as you are attached to a qualified and experienced instructor who takes care of the technical side throughout the process.
Before the jump, you will receive a short briefing about body position, the moment of leaving the aircraft and the basic instructions you need to follow. After that, the instructor takes care of the equipment, the freefall, the parachute opening and the landing, so you can focus on enjoying the experience.
Tandem skydive: the easiest way to experience freefall
A tandem skydive is the most common option for people who want to try skydiving for the first time. It allows you to experience freefall in an accessible way, accompanied at all times by a professional and without needing any previous knowledge.
During freefall, you will feel the power of the air and the speed in a completely different way from any other adventure activity. Then, when the parachute opens, the experience changes completely and a calmer phase begins, with open views and a much softer feeling of flight.
An aerial experience full of adrenaline
Skydiving combines emotion, altitude and flight in a single activity. It is an ideal option for anyone looking for a powerful experience, a special gift or a different way to remember their time in Gran Canaria.
The most intense part comes during the first seconds of freefall, but the full jump also includes moments of calm, observation and enjoyment of the landscape. That mix of adrenaline and freedom is exactly what makes many people remember their first jump for years.
