Tandem Skydive
About this experience
Get into your jumpsuit, strap on those goggles and board the aircraft. This is a fantastic experience where you will feel the thrill of jumping from a plane door at a height of up to 12,000 feet. Enjoy the unique sensation of free fall before that all important moment when your parachute is deployed and it’s time to slow down and take in the spectacular scenery below you. There’s not much to worry about, you will be strapped to a qualified and experienced instructor the whole time so you can relax and enjoy the ride. Bring along some friends so they can witness you take on this unusual opportunity to display your adventurous side.

“An epic day out ”
Had a great time at Grizedale Forest GoApe. There is a good mix of activities in the treetop challenge including some epic zip wires. Definitely was pushed out of my comfort zone but always felt safe. The kids in our group loved it. There can be a bit of waiting around between the platforms. Our experience lasted well over three hours from start to finish so allow plenty of time. A very good value experience.
What's Included
- Safety briefing session
- One jump, with a fully qualified BPA instructor
- Provisional BPA membership
- Experience gift pack including personalised voucher and message card
What happens on the day?
Upon arrival at the centre you will be asked to hand over your declaration of health form and if your instructor is satisfied with your level of fitness you will be enrolled as a provisional member of the British Parachute Association and issued with all the necessary equipment. You will be given a safety briefing and will practice the techniques required for your jump. As you will be jumping with your instructor, you can relax a little safe in the knowledge that you will be looked after. You will be kitted out in your special jumpsuit, fitted into a dual harness and handed the headgear with goggles. You’ll head up to the skies in a helicopter or small plane and once at an altitude of 10,000 feet it’s time to depart.
