WARNING: SKYDIVING IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!

Tandem skydiving is unquestionably the safest way to experience skydiving for the first time.  After a few minutes of instruction, you can enjoy the exhilerating freefall with an instructor before deploying the larger parachute and enjoying the breathtaking views as you gently descend to earth together. 

Our staff are USPA licensed, professional Tandem Instructors.  Tandem skydiving is restricted to those eighteen years and older, and not weighing more than 240 pounds.  For those weighing over 200 pounds but less than 240 pounds, an additional $2.00 per pound is charged, and your Tandem Instructor must approve each sky diver weighing over 200 pounds.  All tandem jumpers must sign our liability release / liability waiver form. 

If you need to use the shuttle, please make reservations at http://hawaiiskydiving.com/reservations.htm, and do not make reservations through this site.  Shuttle vans stop at Waikiki hotels (also Aloha Tower, Honolulu International Airport and Pearl Harbor Main Gate) three times per day and return approximately 6 hours later.  For those who are making tandem jumps, the shuttle is included at no additional charge.  Shuttles are available at the following times:

  • 7:00 AM
  • 10:00 AM
  • 1:00 AM

If you have your own vehicle, plan on spending about two hours at our Dillingham Airfield facilities.  Weekends and busy days could take up to three hours.

While each person's reason for skydiving may differ, the general feeling on landing is euphoric, having just had more fun and excitement than is generally experienced in a month of Sundays.   As Hawaii's oldest and largest sky diving center, Skydive Hawaii is known for having the best instructors. We also make more daily tandem jumps and have been able to offer you that pristine North Shore view at the World's Most Beautiful Skydiving Center! 

 

The Coastline

Photos are $100 with an automatic discount to $75 with web reservations!
DVDs are $150  

The tandem passenger will enjoy the great views of the North Shore during the fifteen minutes flight up to jump altitude. When the plane reaches jump altitude, your USPA Tandem Instructor will secure you to their gear. Together you will exit the aircraft and reach speeds of 120mph, without worrying about getting a ticket for speeding! Your freefall will be thrilling; remember to keep your eyes open!

The sensation of freefalling is not so much one of falling, but more like flying. When you exit the plane, the North Shore of Oahu is below you. On a clear day it is possible to see the other Hawaiian Islands in freefall. After the canopy opens you will still be able to see much of Oahu.

Many times Diamond Head, Pearl Harbor, Kaena Point and the leeward coast are in plain view. You will also be able to see majestic bluffs, valleys, beautiful beaches, whales and other marine life from your canopy. Tandem jumping provides an obvious advantage for the adventurous spirit who cannot adequately meet the physical or proficiency requirements for the Freefall School jumps. By relying on the USPA Tandem Instructor's skill, they will still be able to experience the thrill of skydiving.  Your friends can watch you smile, hoot and holler from our viewing area.
