Tandem skydiving is without question, the safest way to experience skydiving for the first time. Two people, using one larger parachute, is the way you and your licensed tandem instructor can enjoy the thrill of skydiving at Skydive Hawaii with just a few minutes of instruction.  Our staff of independent contractors are USPA licensed Tandem Instructors.  Tandem skydiving is restricted to those eighteen years and older, and not weighing more than 240 pounds.  For those weighing over 200 pounds but less than 240 pounds, an additional $2.00 per pound is charged, and your Tandem Instructor must approve each sky diver weighing over 200 pounds.  All tandem jumpers must sign our liability release / liability waiver form.  Dress comfortably for the day and wear tennis or sport shoes.  Most people at Skydive Hawaii jump in t-shirt and shorts.  

Shuttles leave Waikiki hotels at 7:00a.m., 10:00a.m. and 1:00p.m. daily.  The shuttle will return you approximately 6 hours after the time of departure.  For those who are making tandem jumps, the shuttle is included at no additional charge.  If you have your own vehicle, plan on spending about a two hours at our Dillingham Airfield facilities.  We recommend that you arrive in the morning. 

The tandem skydive is just $150.00 ($157.07 including Hawaii sales tax), that's after the $75.00 on-line reservation reduces the retail price from $225.00; however, this offer may not be combined with other discounts, offers or coupons.  Get your group together.  Tandem group rates:  groups of 4-9 are discounted to $140 per person and groups of more than 10 are only $135 per person!  Just list the names of your group members on the reservation form.

WARNING: SKYDIVING IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!

Safety First:  Do not skydive within 24 hours after you have made a scuba dive.   
                         You also need to protect yourself from the Sun.

Why skydive?  People have many different reasons for skydiving: wanting to experience the rush and excitement, participating in a totally different sport, wanting to feel the "hard air" during free fall, just always wanted to do it or stress reduction therapy. While each person's reason for skydiving may differ, the general feeling on landing is euphoric, having just had more fun and excitement than is generally experienced in a month of Sundays.   As Hawaii's oldest and largest sky diving center, Skydive Hawaii is known for having the most experienced instructors.

The tandem passenger will enjoy the great views of the North Shore during the fifteen minutes flight up to jump altitude. When the plane reaches jump altitude, your USPA Tandem Instructor will secure you to their gear. Together you will exit the aircraft and reach speeds of 120mph, without worrying about getting a ticket for speeding! Your freefall will be thrilling; remember to keep your eyes open!

The sensation of freefalling is not so much one of falling, but more like flying. When you exit the plane, the North Shore of Oahu is below you. On a clear day it is possible to see the other Hawaiian Islands in freefall. After the canopy opens you will still be able to see much of Oahu.

Many times Diamond Head, Pearl Harbor, Kaena Point and the leeward coast are in plain view. You will also be able to see majestic bluffs, valleys, beautiful beaches, whales and other marine life from your canopy. Tandem jumping provides an obvious advantage for the adventurous spirit who cannot adequately meet the physical or proficiency requirements for the Freefall School jumps. By relying on the USPA Tandem Instructor's skill, they will still be able to experience the thrill of skydiving.  Your friends can watch you smile, hoot and holler from our viewing area.
