Best Places to Skydive!

Pushing the limits is what life is all about. It takes more than just getting a little tattoo or riding the largest roller coaster to live dangerously though. When you are up in the air about 4,000 ft looking down at the world below, about to jump out of a perfectly functioning airplane, then actually jump out into a free fall for the few seconds of absolute terror is when you earn your kick ass card. When you decide to finally take the plunge, here are the Top 5 Places to Skydive.

Australian Skydive

The view is what makes or breaks your skydiving experience, of course that is unless maybe you have a faulty parachute. In Australia you have an awesome view, you can catch a glimpse of the Great Barrier Reef, World Heritage Rainforest, or maybe just some great golden sand beaches. You might even be able to see some dolphins or whales jumping in the ocean.

Prices are under $300 for a 14,000-foot drop. If you’re a backpacker, student, or veteran, you qualify for a $30 discount.

New Zealand Skydive

By Rob & Jules

New Zealand can take credit for being the adventure capital of the world, so you can take comfort in knowing that all their instructors and facilities are all top of the line. Fox Glacier is the spot to be because it has everything: the Franz Josef Glacier, lakes, rainforests and the Tasman Sea. Beautiful Views!

Prices are about $300 for 12,000ft.

Spain Skydive

At 15,000 ft, Seville, Spain has the highest altitude in Europe for skydiving, or if 15,000 ft is to much excitement for you then you can go for the 10,000 ft drop.

Prices 15,000- 205 euro; 10,000- 185 euro

Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia Skydive

You may remember Valery Rozov, the guy who jumped from a helicopter into Russia’s active volcano as a sponsored stunt for Red Bull! Well you will definitely pass by this live mountain of fiery lava! This is for the experienced sky divers only.

Interlaken, Switzerland Skydive

By amedmunds

Ready to skydive over snow-capped Swiss alps? This is the mountain of discounts. Book online for under $400 with no back breaking down payment. This is a very popular spot for backpackers, who are 1st timers or newbees. When all is said and done you can party back your nerves at the base of the Alps at Balmer’s Herberge.

Bonus Skydive Experience: Everest, Nepal

This is a great way to spend the money you inherited from your rich Great Grandma Susie. Skydive from the highest peak in the world, where only 4 diving trips a year take place.

Price: 6 months prior to the trip $1000 and then 3 months before the trip $14,000! I guess if you really wanted to go, you can sell a kidney. Nobody would be surprised if you get a bottle of Cristal when you get to land from your jump, I mean it would be the least they could do!
