Indoor skydiving

Indoor skydiving puts you in freefall without a plane, a parachute or the jump itself. A vertical wind tunnel recreates the rush of a real skydive using nothing but a powerful column of air, with an instructor beside you the whole time. Most sessions run ninety minutes to two hours all up, which covers a full safety briefing and training before you ever step into the chamber.

Indoor Skydiving Experiences

Indoor skydiving is built for exactly the person who likes the idea of freefall but not the plane door. A wind tunnel holds you up on a wall of moving air, so the sensation is close enough to the real thing that working skydivers use it to practise between real jumps. Everyone starts the same way: a safety briefing, gear fitting and a one-on-one instructor, so nobody is thrown in without knowing what happens next. Flights themselves run in short bursts, usually 60 seconds at a time, which is long enough to feel the freefall properly and short enough that nerves rarely get the upper hand. Most people fly more than once in a session, so there's a second chance to relax into it once the first flight is out of the way.

Sydney indoor skydiving

At iFLY Penrith, west of the city, the indoor skydiving intro package gets first-timers into two flights with no previous experience required. For anyone who wants more air time, the two extended flights option doubles each flight to four standard-length flights' worth, giving you long enough in the tunnel to actually start controlling your body position instead of just holding on.

Brisbane and the Gold Coast

Queensland runs three separate sessions across two cities. On the Gold Coast, choose between the basic two-flight package, each flight equivalent to a freefall skydive from 14,000 feet, or the value two extended flights package, which stretches that into four standard flights' worth of air time and is open to flyers from age three. In Brisbane, the two-flight session runs the same 60-second flights inside a glass flight chamber, with one-on-one instruction from your first wobble.

Melbourne and Perth flights

Melbourne's 90-minute indoor skydiving session recreates the sensation of a 12,000-foot skydive across two 60-second flights, with training folded into the booking so nobody arrives cold. Over in Western Australia, the Perth indoor skydiving experience gives you a free-fall time equivalent to three real skydives, guided the whole way by an instructor inside the wind tunnel.

Indoor Skydiving Gift Ideas

An indoor skydiving voucher suits the person who says they'd love to skydive but never quite books the real jump. It hands them the same rush of freefall, minus the plane and the paperwork, and it works just as well for a teenager's birthday as it does for a dad who's been talking about it for years.

Because venues and flight counts vary by city, an indoor skydiving voucher lets the person you're gifting choose their own location and package, and it stays valid for five years if the moment isn't right straight away.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is indoor skydiving?

Indoor skydiving happens inside a vertical wind tunnel, where a powerful column of air holds your body up in freefall, recreating the airflow of a real skydive from around 12,000 to 14,000 feet. You fly with a trained instructor beside you, and no jump, plane or previous experience is involved.

Is indoor skydiving worth it?

Most people who try it come out wanting to go again. If you're picking a starting point, the indoor skydiving intro package at Penrith is a popular choice for a first flight, and it needs no previous experience at all.

Is there a weight limit for indoor skydiving?

Yes, and it varies by venue. Penrith, Gold Coast and Brisbane cap participants around 105 kilograms, Perth allows up to 117 kilograms, and Melbourne goes up to 136 kilograms with advance notice required over 114 kilograms. Check the specific package before booking if you're close to a limit.

Can you go indoor skydiving while pregnant?

No, every venue on this page excludes pregnant participants, along with anyone with a history of shoulder dislocation or a serious back or neck injury. It's a safety call tied to the forces involved in flight, not a formality.

How old do you have to be for indoor skydiving?

It depends on the package. The Gold Coast's value two-flight session and the Penrith extended flights both allow flyers from three years old, though the minimum age is worth confirming directly with venues that don't state one on this page.

Is indoor skydiving different from real skydiving?

The freefall sensation is close enough that some working skydivers train in the tunnel between real jumps, but there's no plane, no altitude and no parachute involved. If the real thing is what you're after, skydiving covers the actual jump from a plane.
