Description
STEP 1 - ARRIVAL AT THE AIRFIELD
The booking time is the time of arrival, so there’s no need to come earlier. Guests check in at reception and fill out a waiver (if they haven’t already).
STEP 2 - BRIEFING
Clients will watch a short video explaining the process, including the equipment and body position for exit, freefall and landing. This usually takes about 10 minutes.
STEP 3 - GEAR UP & PRE-BOARDING
Guests are fitted with a jumpsuit and harness, then meet their camera flyer (if they’ve added video/photos). Boarding typically happens around 5 minutes before the flight.
STEP 4 - THE FLIGHT TO ALTITUDE
A scenic 15-minute plane ride over the Algarve coastline with stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean, the beautiful Alvor bay, and the surrounding landscape.
STEP 5 - THE JUMP
Depending on the altitude chosen:
From 15,000ft: ~60 seconds of freefall
From 10,000ft: ~30 seconds of freefall
Plus around 5 minutes with the parachute open.
STEP 6 - CANOPY FLIGHT
Once the parachute opens, there’s about 5-7 minutes under canopy to enjoy the panoramic views before landing.
STEP 7 - LANDING
Landings take place at the airfield.
STEP 8 - POST-JUMP
After the jump, our instructors will help remove the harness so customers can change out of their suits and collect their personal belongings from the lockers. A team member will then accompany them back to reception, where our receptionist will present their certificate of completion.
STEP 9 - FOOTAGE DELIVERY
Within one hour of landing guests receive their polished footage straight to their email and via a convenient WhatsApp message, thanks to our state-of-the-art AI editing system.
