If you’re looking for an adrenaline rush in Bali, I just got back from tandem skydiving in North Bali, Buleleng, and it was incredible! Getting there was part of the adventure itself. From Seminyak or Canggu, expect a scenic drive of about 2.5 to 3 hours, or a quicker 1.5 hours if you’re coming from Ubud. The journey gave me plenty of time to build up the excitement.
Let’s talk about the cost, because I know that’s a big question. For a complete tandem skydive experience, packages start at USD 1,200. This isn’t just for the jump; it’s an all-inclusive price covering your certified instructor, a thorough safety briefing, and the professional helm gear photo and video package. Trust me, you’ll want those photos and videos to relive the moment and prove you actually jumped out of a plane!
Timing your jump is crucial for the best experience. The dry season, running from April through October, is ideal. This is when you get the clearest visibility and the calmest winds, making for truly breathtaking views of the northern coastline. I went for a morning jump, and I’d highly recommend it – the weather was perfect, and the views were absolutely pristine. The actual freefall itself is about 60 seconds of pure exhilaration, followed by a serene 4 to 5 minute parachute descent where you can really take in the scenery.
A few practical things to keep in mind: safety is paramount. There’s a maximum weight limit of 100 kg (220 lbs). If you’re close to that limit, they also consider height and body composition. You’ll need to wear closed-toe shoes, and it’s best to avoid loose clothing and any jewelry during the jump. I booked my slot through their website, but you can also use WhatsApp at +62 811 3941 4563. I’d strongly suggest booking early, especially if you’re planning to go during peak season, to secure your preferred date and time.
For arrangements, a specialist offering Komodo boat charter can coordinate this end to end.
