Indoor Skydiving in Sacramento: 2 Flights with Instructor

Float at 130 to 175 mph in a vertical wind tunnel, guided through free-fall conditions without leaving the ground.

Indoor skydiving in Sacramento at iFLY is a 75-minute activity where you train with a certified instructor, then fly one-on-one in an 800-horsepower vertical wind tunnel twice. The wind speed reaches 130 to 175 mph, creating the sensation of free-fall without jumping from a plane. All gear, training and a flight certificate are included; no prior experience is required.

The Experience

You arrive at iFLY Sacramento and start with a specialized training session from a certified flight instructor who walks you through the basics of body position and how to move inside the wind tunnel. The facility uses an 800-horsepower vertical wind tunnel — the same technology professional skydivers train with — to generate a stable wall-to-wall cushion of air. Once you understand the fundamentals, the instructor guides you into the enclosed flight chamber and slowly increases the wind speed until you're floating. The sensation is genuine free-fall: your body becomes weightless as the airflow holds you aloft.

You fly one-on-one with your instructor for 60 seconds during each of your two flights, with the wind reaching speeds between 130 and 175 mph. Your instructor stays with you the entire time, adjusting your position and helping you stay stable in the column of air. The whole experience — arrival, gear, training, both flights and certificate — takes about 75 minutes. Afterward, you take home a personalized flight certificate documenting your achievement.

What’s included

• One-on-one guidance from a certified flight instructor.
• specialized training before you enter the wind tunnel.
• all flight gear including jumpsuit and helmet.
• two 60-second flights in the vertical wind tunnel.
• and a personalized certificate of flight achievement.
