San Antonio Indoor Skydiving: 2 Flights & Certificate

Float at 130 to 175 mph without leaving the ground

Indoor skydiving at iFLY San Antonio puts you in a vertical wind tunnel for two one-on-one flights with a certified instructor, reaching wind speeds of 130 to 175 mph. The 75-minute session includes training, all gear, and a personalized flight certificate. No skydiving experience is required, and anyone aged 3 and up can participate.

The experience

Seventy-five minutes gets you from arrival to certificate in hand. After you put on your gear, a certified flight instructor walks you through a specialized training session covering body position, hand signals and safety inside the wind tunnel. The enclosed flight chamber uses an 800-horsepower vertical wind tunnel (the same technology professional skydivers train in) to generate a stable wall-to-wall cushion of air. Once you're ready, the tunnel operator slowly increases wind speed until you're airborne, floating at speeds between 130 and 175 mph. Your instructor stays with you the entire time, guiding your movements and keeping you stable in the column of air.

You fly twice during the session, each flight lasting 60 seconds one-on-one with your instructor. The wind speed and your body position create the sensation of freefall without any jump. Groups are kept to six people maximum, so you're never crowded, and the focus stays on your individual flight. When you're done, you take home a personalized certificate of flight achievement documenting what you accomplished.

No prior experience is necessary, and the activity suits all fitness levels. Children as young as 3 can participate, though anyone under 18 needs a parent or guardian to sign their waiver. Wear lace-up sneakers or running shoes and comfortable clothes. The facility provides all flight gear. If you have a history of neck, back, shoulder or heart issues, a hard cast, or are pregnant, you won't be able to fly. Check with the facility directly if you have questions about your specific situation.
