Although skydiving is safer than ever, jumping out of an airplane remains a scary prospect for many people. At iFly Oceanside, feel the thrill of skydiving without committing to a jump. iFly's wind tunnel simulates a jump, offering the same thrill at the fraction of the price of a real jump.

• iIFly’s windtunnel makes it possible to ‘jump’ without being strapped to an instructor
• An authentic experience: professional skydivers often use windtunnels for practice jumps
• Enjoy wind speeds from 130 to 175 mph (209 to 282 kph)
• Suitable for all ages: children as young as three years old may fly

What To Expect

Arrive at iFLY Oceanside, and get started by putting on your gear and going through a specialized training session from an expert flight instructor.

You’ll learn how to safely float in an 800-horsepower vertical wind tunnel that generates a wall-to-wall cushion of air – commonly used by professional skydivers – without having to jump from a plane. Just about anyone can fly, and no experience is necessary.

Once you're inside the enclosed space of the flight chamber, a tunnel operator slowly increases the wind speed until you and your instructor are airborne. Feel the adrenaline rush as you float at wind speeds reaching 130 to 175 mph (209 to 282 kph). The stable wall-to-wall airflow keeps you from falling off the column of air, and your instructor is on hand at all times to guide you.

The entire indoor skydiving experience takes about 75 minutes from start to finish. Each session includes up to six people, but you fly one-on-one with your instructor for 60 seconds in the wind tunnel twice.
