Tour Overview
Tandem Skydiving over Palm Jumeirah is the single most thrilling thing you can do in Dubai. Jump from 13,000 feet strapped to a certified tandem instructor, freefall for 60 seconds at 200 km/h, then glide under parachute for 5-7 minutes over the world's most iconic palm-shaped island.
Your day starts with a safety briefing at the drop zone near Dubai Marina, followed by gearing up. You'll board the small aircraft and climb to altitude — roughly 20 minutes of scenic flight over the Palm. Then the door opens, and you jump.
The freefall is the most intense sensory experience of your life. At 5,000 feet, the instructor pulls the parachute, and everything goes silent. You'll drift down past Atlantis The Palm, the Palm's crescent, Burj Al Arab, and the Dubai coastline, landing softly on the beach.
Professional photos and video are captured throughout by a dedicated camera flyer. Perfect for bucket-list travellers, adrenaline seekers, and content creators. We only work with GCAA-licensed operators with spotless safety records.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — tandem skydiving has an impeccable safety record. Our operators are GCAA-licensed, use premium equipment, and tandem instructors average 2000+ jumps. All parachutes are equipped with automatic activation devices (AAD).
No — tandem skydiving requires zero experience. Your certified instructor handles everything. You just follow three simple instructions: arch, look up, and lift your legs on landing.
Minimum age: 18 (no exceptions, ID required). Maximum weight: 100kg for men, 90kg for women (due to equipment limits). BMI restrictions may also apply — we verify at booking.
Asthma, epilepsy, heart conditions, diabetes, recent surgeries, and pregnancy disqualify you. You'll complete a medical self-declaration before jumping. Consult your doctor if unsure.
High winds or low clouds can cancel jumps (called on the day). You get full refund or free reschedule to another day. Most cancellations happen in winter months when winds pick up.
What Our Guests Say
"Best thing I've ever done. Period. The 60-second freefall was pure adrenaline, but the parachute descent over the Palm was genuinely peaceful. The video is now my most-shared memory."
"Did this for my 30th birthday. Was terrified on the plane but the instructor was so calm & funny. By the time we landed I wanted to go again. Worth every single dirham."
