It’s the classic dad joke: Why would you jump out of a perfectly good plane? Skydive Las Vegas will show you why. The exhilaration that you’ll get from the initial jump may leave you slightly breathless, but the views you’ll get when you and your tandem instructor free fall, then float after your parachute opens, are simply incredible. The desert and mountains of Nevada and Boulder City, Las Vegas cityscapes, Hoover Dam, the Colorado River and more will leave you in awe.
Before your jump, you’ll get some safety and operational information from your instructor. Then you’ll don your jumpsuit and goggles and head up. There are height and weight requirements, so do check those before booking. Sandals and boots are not allowed.
Skydive Las Vegas, which was founded in 1993, features state-of-the art chutes and a special Automatic Activation Device, in case anything should happen to your instructor, who will normally pull the ripcord.
You can get picked up by shuttle on the southern end of the Strip, or drive to Boulder City Airport yourself, where the company’s planes depart. It’s an easy half-hour or so drive from the Strip, and the landing area is in the same area.
