My aerial tandem skydiving adventure in Buleleng, North Bali, during the dry season was absolutely unforgettable. TheSkydiveBali operates from a prime drop zone, and the ocean views from above were genuinely breathtaking. I opted for a morning jump, which I’d highly recommend, as the weather was perfect – clear skies and calm winds, exactly what you want when you’re about to leap out of a plane. The dry season here, from April to October, really delivers on those conditions.
The whole experience, including the instructor, safety briefing, and a fantastic photo/video package, starts at USD 1,200. It’s a comprehensive package, so you don’t have to worry about anything once you’re there. We jumped from Pantai Kelanting, an exclusive location on Bali’s west coast, known for its unique black sand beaches. It’s worth noting that TheSkydiveBali is the only operator with licensed tandem instructors, which definitely added to my peace of mind. After a thorough briefing, we were up in the air. The actual freefall itself was an exhilarating 60 seconds, a pure rush as the earth came rushing up. That was followed by a serene 4 to 5 minute parachute descent, giving me plenty of time to take in the stunning Buleleng coastline. They also have a strict maximum weight limit of 100 kg (220 lbs) for safety, so keep that in mind when planning your trip.
Getting to the Buleleng drop zone does take a bit of travel, but it’s entirely worth it. From Seminyak or Canggu, you’re looking at about a 2.5 to 3-hour drive, and from Ubud, it’s closer to 1.5 hours. I found the morning jumps offered the most pristine views and the best weather conditions. If you’re considering aerial tandem skydiving in North Bali, especially during the dry season, TheSkydiveBali in Buleleng offers an incredible, professional, and visually stunning experience. The combination of expert instructors and that unique Buleleng landscape makes for an adventure.
