Many people skydive for many reasons – it gives them an adrenaline rush, strengthens and tones their muscles, burns their calories, makes them practice cool aerial moves, and helps them face their fear of heights. If you’re ready for this exciting adventure, Perth is an ideal place to start.

Where to Go Skydiving in Perth 

The best skydiving experience in Perth may include freefalling to Riverdale, Jurien Bay, Myalup, Applecross, Busselton, Rottnest Island, York, or Rockingham.

You may take your leaps from skydiving companies like Skydive Australia, iFLY, Skydive Jurien Bay, WA Skydiving Academy, or Geronimo Sky Diving.

Before you proceed, there are several factors to consider – the skydiving packages (tandem, group, or solo), pricing, locations to see, post-flight certifications, and add-ons. 

Getting health insurance is also important in rare cases of accidents, pain from injuries, or mental trauma. To get started, check out some of the best places to go skydiving in Perth below and enjoy your next leap.

Skydive Australia

Website: https://www.skydive.com.au/locations/perth-rockingham/ 

Address: 14-16 Kent St, Rockingham WA 6168, Australia

Contact Details: 1300 520 259, [email protected] 

Opening Hours: Sunday – Saturday: 8:00 AM – 7:00 PM

Prepare to extend your wings and fly toward the Perth CBD at a speed of about 200 km/h. Skydive Australia provides services that boast an astonishing 60-second free fall from thousands of feet in the air.

More specifically, this skydiving company can take you up 14,000 feet above the city with their tandem specials. This experience starts from $429 and can be paid via Visa, Mastercard, Afterpay, and humm repayments if desired.

If you have concerns about transportation, their add-ons may include a free pick-up from Perth. They also offer personalised training and safety instructions and a skydiving certificate if you wish.

A flight option is skydiving over the historic township of York for its breathtaking rural surroundings. You can also float smoothly over canola fields, greenery, and red plains with a dropzone in the Avon Valley.

Before landing, you’ll enjoy a 7-minute pleasant float over Perth once the canopy takes sail. A few minutes in the sky offers extravagant views, so it’s best for skydivers with eye problems to get that sorted out first.

If you want to go over Rockingham, the West Australian coastline is known for its brilliant blue skies and sparkling waters. This makes the ideal setting for a long plane drop.

Here, you can see magnificent views of the Shoalwater Islands Marine Park, including Penguin Island, Cockburn Sound, Garden Island, and Rottnest Island.

Other packages are for groups of 4 or more. But if you’ve passed their Accelerated Freefall (AFF) courses, you may also skydive solo and experience a different type of euphoria.

When booking, we advise choosing a time as early as possible in the day to maximise the chances of securing the jump. This is due to the weather conditions changing during the day.

And if you need to rebook, it’s highly recommended to do so up to 24 hours before your confirmed jump date. Otherwise, Skydive Australia will charge a rebooking fee of $50 for changes within 24 hours of the jump date.

Address: 143 Great Eastern Hwy, Rivervale WA 6103, Australia

Contact Details: +61 1300 435 928

Opening Hours: Monday – Thursday: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM, Friday: 9:00 AM – 10:00 PM, Saturday: 7:30 AM – 10:00 PM, Sunday: 7:30 AM – 9:00 PM

If the thought of leaping out of a plane freaks you out, going to iFLY is the solution. iFLY is an indoor skydiving experience just 10 minutes away from Perth CBD. 

All you need to remember once you’re inside the dome is lean into the wind, and the enormous columns of air will take care of the rest. 

This is the ideal beginner experience because it’s safe, fully controlled, and accessible to almost all ages (from 3 to 103). Many choose this experience for kids’ birthday parties, education groups, and corporate and team-building events.

They also accept flyers of all abilities and provide wheelchair accessibility with highly qualified instructors to assist.

Just a tip: if you can fly during off-peak times, you can save money on almost all of iFLY’s flight experiences. 

Of course, there are more bookings here during school term times on Mondays to Fridays. If you prefer to skydive on the weekends, we suggest taking your flights before 10 am or after 5:30 pm to pay less.

A group of 6 or more is also classified at iFLY as a group, and they can get discounts when booking together. There’s also no maximum group size, so more people equals more fun.

Skydive Jurien Bay

Website: https://skydivejurienbay.com/ 

Address: 65 Bashford St, Jurien Bay WA 6516, Australia

Contact Details: +61 8 9652 1320

Opening Hours: Monday – Saturday: 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM, Sunday: 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM

There’s no better time to travel up north for a skydive over Jurien Bay than now. Skydive Jurien Bay’s jump consists of a 25-minute plane ride, freefall, and a 5 to 8-minute canopy ride. 

To minimise the inconvenience of commuting, they also run a free shuttle bus every Thursday from Perth, returning the same day.

You can experience the rush of adrenaline as you free fall above the stunning Turquoise Coast, Jurien Bay Marine Park, and the Pinnacles. This is before landing under a parachute on their famous white sand beach.

In addition, every skydiver would receive a certificate of achievement and celebrate at a nearby bar in Perth. You can get a complimentary drink at Murray Street Grill or Jurien Bay Hotel at the end of the day.    

Skydive Jurien Bay offers premium tandem skydiving experiences starting at $309. For budget skydivers, here’s our advice: go with friends because it will be less expensive with a group.        

Also, the best time to book would be during winter. Jurien Bay isn’t typically affected by many of the cold fronts that hit Perth and other southern cities.    

The earlier times you book in the summer, the more certain you are to jump since there are strong sea breezes in the afternoons.

WA Skydiving Academy

Address: 101 Pinjarra-Williams Rd, Pinjarra WA 6208, Australia

Contact Details: +61 419 558 900

Opening Hours: Monday – Friday: 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM

The best 3 hours of your life could happen at WA Skydiving Academy. It offers 8,000, 10,000, 12,000, 14,000, and 15,000 ft skydives starting at $350 for the Applecross flight. 

Only a 20-minute brief by one of their experienced tandem masters is needed before skydivers get to wear their snug harness and venture off to the plane.

We recommend making the most of your first jump course – all amenities in the dropzone, such as the restrooms, covered packing areas, BBQs, and picnic tables are offered to skydivers without charge.

You can get their catering service on the weekends as well. The dropzone offers self-service vending machines for drinks and sweets.

Their skydiving team also provides a smooth journey to Tompkins Park in Applecross after the parachute is operational. The park is an active area used by sporting clubs for rugby, soccer, cricket, and the like. 

If you’re holding future events, Tompkins Park may present a romantic landing for you or your loved ones’ wedding ceremony due to its spacious trait. 

Getting a copy of your Freefall DVD is optional, but you may purchase this to preserve your euphoric adventure.

Geronimo Sky Diving

Website: https://skydivegeronimo.com.au/ 

Address: Brand Way, Rottnest Island WA 6161, Australia

Contact Details: +61 1300 449 669, [email protected] 

Opening Hours: Sunday – Saturday: 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Earn your free drink at Geronimo Sky Diving after the 20-minute flight over Cape Naturaliste, Geographe Bay, and the Margaret River coastline.

A flight above an island is the first step then the tandem instructor will handle the rest.

Many skydivers typically scream while smiling at their camera at 200 km/h. It may be best to get your ears cleaned beforehand to improve your hearing and adjust your loudness for your poor tandem partner.

Their parachute landing locations in order of frequency of use are Bickley Bay Beach, Army Jetty Beach (Thomson Bay), and Salmon Bay Beach. 

However, note that all beach landings are weather dependent. Because of this, you’ll only be aware of your safe landing area on your skydiving day.

The skydiving team then caps off the fun with a beer or glass of wine to celebrate your jump. You can try this type of thrill for $329 to $499.

But if you’re on a budget, we advise taking advantage of their deals and discounts. For example, their Spring mid-week deal can save you up to $100 off on a 15,000 ft Skydive + Return Island Flight package.

They also offer optional video packages so you can share your experience with family and friends.
