What To Expect
Located in the coastal town of Alvor, Southern Portugal we offers the bet skydiving experiences. Skydive in the Algarve in sunny Portimão (Alvor Airfield) where you’ll enjoy awesome tandem skydive experience.
A Tandem Skydive is our most popular and the ideal way to try skydiving for the first time without any experience needed at all. All our expert tandem instructors all have thousands of skydives and you will jump using a large parachute specifically designed for two people.
If you are looking at discovering the fascination of freefall without having any previous experience, the tandem skydive is a great choice for you. It is designed to allow you to experience freefall skydiving without an intensive course.
After 15 minutes of instruction, you will be ready to do a parachute jump with your tandem skydive instructor. You will experience terminal velocity at around 135 mph on your first jump for up to a minute! This can only be achieved from 15,000 feet.
