By far the most thrilling activity you can do on Curaçao: skydiving! Take a spectacular tandem jump and discover Curaçao from above. Skydiving gives you the best of both worlds. Do you dare to take the leap?
Skydiving in Curaçao
Skydiving is truly something you’ll never regret. It’s such an amazing experience—you get to see all of Curaçao from above, and jumping out of the plane gives you a huge rush. You’ll do a tandem jump, securely attached to a highly experienced jumpmaster. The jumpmaster is—literally—in control, but once the parachute opens, you get to steer it yourself for a bit. So cool!

What does the parachute jump look like?
When you arrive at SkyDive Curaçao, you’ll first go through a short registration process (Don’t forget: bring your ID!). Then, an instructor will give you a briefing—lasting about 10 minutes—on the dynamics of the jump. Once the introduction is complete, you’re ready to take to the skies! You’ll fly in the plane (a Cessna C-182) for about half an hour until you reach an altitude of 10,000 feet (about 3 km) to make the jump. That’s when things really get exciting. The door opens, and you’re strapped to your jumpmaster. You both step outside the plane onto a small platform and… “GO!!!” You’ll experience about 45 seconds of pure adrenaline during freefall, followed by 7 minutes of gliding with your parachute open—during which you’ll have the best view of the island and can even steer the parachute for a few minutes. The landing takes place at the Skydive Curaçao site, at the same location where you checked in at the office (near the Aloe Farm). In total, from check-in to recovering from the landing, the tandem jump will take about 2 hours.
Safety
Of course, this tandem jump is safe. You jump with a very experienced jumpmaster and everything is thoroughly checked. You don’t need a course or the like, though of course you will receive the necessary instructions beforehand. Statistically, you are also on the right side: the chances of something going wrong with skydiving are very, very small. But at the same time: skydiving is an extreme sport with associated risks.
This tandem jump is possible for anyone weighing less than 275 lbs. In terms of age, we recommend “12 yr. and up,” but that is not a hard requirement. As long as you are aware of what you are going to do, follow the jumpmaster’s instructions and are able to land securely on your feet when landing, then you can join in.
