The Experience

Get their hearts racing with an unforgettable skydiving experience!

Perfect for anyone who loves adventure, adrenaline and ticking incredible experiences off their bucket list.

Choose between a 7,000 ft tandem skydive, offering an exhilarating 15 seconds of freefall, or step things up with a 10,000 ft jump, for an incredible 30 seconds of freefall, giving you twice as long to experience the unforgettable sensation of flying through the sky before floating gently back to earth.

The adventure takes place at Dunkeswell Airfield, Honiton, Devon, one of the UK's best-known skydiving centres. After a full safety briefing, they'll be securely harnessed to a qualified tandem instructor before climbing high above the stunning Devon countryside for the experience of a lifetime. No previous skydiving experience is required, making this an ideal gift for first-time jumpers.

These Devon skydiving gift vouchers can be booked for midweek experiences from Monday to Friday, giving the lucky recipient plenty of flexibility to plan their big day.

A tandem skydive in Devon is one of the UK's most popular adventure gifts. Whether it's the rush of freefall or the spectacular views across the beautiful Devon countryside, this is one experience that delivers memories money simply can't buy.

Vouchers can be purchased for either 7,000 ft or 10,000 ft. The exact altitude on the day however depends on local regulations, aircraft, and weather conditions.

Freefall is the part of the skydive after you leave the aircraft and before the parachute opens. During this time, you'll experience the incredible sensation of flying through the air at speeds of up to around 120 mph (193 km/h). Although it sounds intense, most people describe it as feeling more like floating on a cushion of air than "falling." After around 15–60 seconds (depending on your jump altitude), your instructor will deploy the parachute, and you'll enjoy a peaceful, scenic flight back to the ground.

Freefall usually lasts between 15 seconds (from 7,000 ft) and 30 seconds (from 10,000 ft), depending on your jump altitude. Once the parachute opens, you'll enjoy a scenic canopy flight lasting approximately 5–8 minutes before landing.
