Frequently Asked Questions

The answers provided below are based on answers previously given by the tour provider to customers’ questions.

Filter by:

Q:How does the San Diego Indoor Skydiving Experience work?

A:A vertical wind tunnel has fans at the top to draw air through the flight chamber and then push it back down the sides. The air is then compressed & sped up before it reenters the flight chamber causing a smooth column of air that enables you to fly.

May 2021

Q:How safe is the San Diego Indoor Skydiving Experience?

A:The unique design of the wind tunnel, with its wall-to-wall air column, along with certified and highly-trained instructors, allows you to safely enjoy your flight. Your instructor is with you the entire time regardless of your level of experience.

May 2021

Q:What is a Wind Tunnel?

A:Very simply, a wind tunnel is a machine that moves a lot of air. A vertical wind tunnel moves air in a vertical column at speeds high enough to keep a person safely floating.

May 2021

Q:How early should I arrive for the San Diego Indoor Skydiving Experience?

A:It is important that you arrive on time for your scheduled session. Your experience will begin promptly upon your arrival so please plan to arrive 10-15 minutes early for your reservation so you have time to check in.

May 2021

Q:Do I fly alone or with a group during the San Diego Indoor Skydiving Experience?

A:Generally, a group of up to 12 guests fly in each session. Your friends and family will be part of the same group, however, you will fly one at a time in the flight chamber one-on-one with your instructor.

May 2021

Q:How long is each flight during the San Diego Indoor Skydiving Experience?

A:Each flight within the wind tunnel lasts 60 seconds. The entire iFLY first-time flyer experience takes approx. 1 hour and 30 minutes from start to finish.

May 2021

Q:Can I bring family/friends to watch, but not participate in the San Diego Indoor Skydiving Experience?

A:If someone chooses to come to watch, he or she is welcome to accompany you through your experience and can watch from the observation area.

May 2021

Q:Is it scary during the San Diego Indoor Skydiving Experience?

A:Generally, no. There’s no jumping, no falling, and no experience is needed. You simply float on a column of air. There is no sensation of falling or anything that would make you feel motion sickness.

May 2021

Q:Is it hard to breathe during the San Diego Indoor Skydiving Experience?

A:Not at all. It is the same as if you stick your head out a car window while driving. All you feel is the wind in your face. Just breathe normally, either through your mouth or your nose.

May 2021

Q:Is the San Diego Indoor Skydiving Experience appropriate for younger children?

A:Flyers can be as young as 3 years of age and there is no upper age limit. Children under 18 years of age need to have a parent or guardian sign their waiver.

This experience totally exceeded our expectations. Lots of fun and felt safe the whole time. Our instructor, Alex, was professional and upbeat. In our group of 7 flyers, 3 chose to do the "higher and faster" flight and found it really exhilerating. Alex showed us some of his great tricks at the end that were very impressive. Highly recommend this experience.

Waste of $240 for two

Lauren_H, Apr 2024

This was a waste of money. It only lasts 1 minute. Please do better to explain upfront how long you’ll actually be flying in the air.

My Bucket List

Cheryl_S, Jan 2024

The family I joined and the employees were where things started off. Then the flying was totally awesome. Chalked one off my bucket list!

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Hello Cheryl, we are thrilled you had an awesome time indoor skydiving with us! Thank you for the kind words about our staff! From your friends at iFLY San Diego in Misson Valley—thanks for flying with us!

Great time, and unique experience, would do it again

Highly recommend this experience!

Patricia_M, Jan 2023

expensive for 2 mins

mark_f, Jan 2023

As shared by another reviewer, the ‘flight time’ is only 2 minutes. Also the upswell pressure is pretty high e g if you want to go higher than about a metre it is an extra twenty dollars and comes out of your existing time. the video and pictures are not worth it - you can get just as good if someone stands by the chamber.

Fun

Tom_W, Sep 2022

Excellent staff very knowledgable and friendly. Recommend to all. I will have to do this again. Thanks

One of my best life Experience

Lisa_K, Nov 2021

From the beginning to the end it was very interesting and exciting but my best part was going all the way up in the air bubble or whatever you guys call It and coming back down and going back up it made me want to really do a real jumping out of an airplane

Response from Host, Nov 2021

Lisa, we’re stoked to hear you had an awesome time indoor skydiving with us at iFLY San Diego. The High Flight is our favorite part too--we're glad you enjoyed! Thank you so much for sharing—we appreciate your business and hope to fly with you again soon at one of our many locations around the world!

Amazingly breath taking, literally!!!

Charnette_L, Jun 2021

Our instructor was Luke and he was amazing very patient, high energy, knowledgeable and exciting he made the experience fun and less scary!!! The most memorable thing for me was the high fly when he took me up in the air!! Once I figured out how to breathe I enjoyed my flights and would definitely do it again!!

Response from Host, Jun 2021
