Overview
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.

Fantastic experience
Got to the airfield early , booking in was easy and there was a good cafe to relax in before the briefing. Very reassuring and competent briefing. The drop was incredible, Truely exhilarating ! Great crew, felt really well looked after and safe and the video package is well worth the money.

Best thing I’ve ever done?
The tandem sky dive is the best thing I’ve ever done so far. The instructors were amazing and great fun which was relaxing . I felt in comfortable hands and the plane ride was good. The free fall bit of the jump was the best for me, then came the parachute part which was also enjoyable and had lovely views. Landed perfectly and also paid for a photographer/video to record and remember my first jump. Can’t wait to do it again?

Absolutely fantastic!!
I have always wanted to do a parachute jump and so my husband bought me this experience for my birthday. The whole day was amazing and the staff at Headcorn aerodrome were wonderful. At no time did I feel unsafe...maybe a little nervous! I would definately do it again

Great fun, want to do it all over again
I had a brilliant time doing my Skydive at Skydive Headcorn. The organisation and safety briefings were very thorough, fun and informative. This was my second sky dive and was just as good as the first, if not better! No need to be nervous, my instructor Simon was brilliant. lots of laughs and jokes from the moment we first met to touch down on land again. Highly recommended, cant wait to do another one! Thank you to everyone for making it such a great experience.

It was amazing
I got a tandem skydive off my girlfriend for Xmas and got to do it yesterday and I was completely lost for words on how good it was. By far the best gift I have every received. I would recommend it to anyone. Even if you aren’t sure about doing it I would just do it as it’s amazing. Made me want to do it again.

Wow-wee!
What an amazing experience! Arrived by 10am and was met by friendly team at Headcorn who went through motions/training. Chilled at on-site cafe and looked at small planes flying before I was called. I was strapped to Simon who was great, friendly and helped make my day special. A guy called Alex filmed the skydive and I’d highly recommend paying the extra for this...expensive but the photos and video that you get on USB are super quality and a great momento of a truly unforgettable experience.

An amazing experience for my 16th Birthday and would recommend for anyone looking for that sense of adventure! Better than any rollercoaster in the world and the fact you can jump for charity makes the achievement all the more worth it. Would totally go again!

Amazing tandem skydive
My son and I booked a tandem skydive experience at Headcorn Aerodrome through Virgin experiences. We are so pleased we picked this as it was a fantastic experience. We were slightly nervous due to the fact we were throwing ourselves out of a plane at 12000ft but from the moment we got there our minds were put at ease due to the friendly and professional way everyone there looked after us. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to feel the exhilaration of falling through the sky at over 100mph!

Amazing. Everyone has got to try this once
Aerodrome was a great place to have dive. All staff/instructors were very friendly and efficient and made what was going to be a nervous event a happy one with many jokes to make you feel at ease. I had Janos as my dive instructor and he was great and made the whole experience go very safe and smoothly. The dive itself was amazing and something that everyone should try. Although it seemed over quickly, I was buzzed all day by it all. Loved to do the wing tandem next!!!!!!!

Why was I worrying
My skydive experience went without a hitch. From arriving to booking in to induction and finally doing the jump, the lad who done the induction and also was my tandom partner really put me at ease, he really made my jump day a day to remember. Brilliant experience that I would love to do again. 10 out of 10

Incredible Experience......Unforgettable
Had an Incredible day. Was very windy the day i went so had to wait around a long time while it calmed down. The staff were excellent, keeping everyone informed of how the weather was progressing and how long the wait would be. When my time finally came i was immediately put at ease by my tandem partner 'Luu', and i had the most amazing experience, i may even go back for more!

The best day ever
I recently took part in a tandem skydive at Tilstock skydive centre. The voucher was easy to redeem and upon arrival the staff were friendly and dealt with me promptly. I arrived at 12pm and the whole experience lasted approximately 4 hours, throughout the whole time I was there the staff were friendly, informative and very knowledgeable. I absolutely loved the skydive and cannot wait to do it again.
