The staff was friendly, professional, and made me feel at ease. Their top-notch facilities and attention to safety were exactly what I needed to alleviate my nerves for first time skydiving. The jump itself was exhilarating, with breathtaking views and experienced/knowledgeable instructors. The team's passion for skydiving made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The videography and photography services captured incredible shots and videos. If you want a skydiving adventure that will leave you with awesome memories, Lodi Skydiving Parachute Center is the place to go. T

One of my family members tragically lost their life during a skydiving jump with this company. What…read morewas supposed to be a thrilling experience turned into a nightmare our family will never recover from. We trusted this company with the safety of someone we loved. That trust was broken in the worst possible way. While accidents can happen in extreme sports, there were serious questions about the training, equipment checks, and emergency response. Communication afterward was cold and unhelpful, making an already impossible situation even harder. If you're considering skydiving with them, please think carefully. No thrill is worth a life. We hope no other family has to go through what we did.

We had an amazing experience at Skydive Golden Gate! The staff was friendly, professional, and made…read moreus feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. One thing we really appreciated was that they don't charge you before your jump like some other places do. Many companies require full payment in advance with no refunds, but here the process felt much more fair and customer-friendly. The instructors were great, everything was well organized, and the jump was unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Can finally check off skydiving from my bucket list!…read more My friends and I came here twice but were only able to skydive once. The first time we came was when there was a fire incident (not their fault), causing the airport to be shutdown. Thankfully, we were able to jump the second time we came. Upon arriving, you are required to fill out a waiver and watch a video about safety and onboarding. If you are over 200 lbs, be prepared to pay $1 per lb. The first time we came, the person helping us said that we could decide to purchase the photos/videos after recording them, since we were unsure whether we wanted them. The second time we came, they didn't allow us to do that and made us pay upfront. When we came to skydive, they were quite behind schedule. Our reservation was at 12 pm, but we didn't start until 1 pm. They can only bring up 2 people at a time due to the size of the plane, so if you're coming with a large group, expect to go in pairs. Each pair took around 30-45 minutes; we finished all our jumps around 2:45 pm. The skydiving experience itself was AMAZING! My instructor was Gus, who was super chill and explained to me all the instructions. I loved his enthusiasm and he made me feel so calm yet excited to jump. Greg is the other instructor, and he is also very detailed in his explanations. The plane ride up was smooth, although it's a bit tight and there are no seats. You get a nice view of the city and north bay once you're up in the air. You climb up to around 9000 in altitude, before the first person goes in their tandem skydive. At the end of your skydive, you get a certificate. If you want to get a skydiving license, you have to dive 25 times, and this counts as one of the dives. If this is your first time skydiving, I'd encourage you to get the video/photos to look back on. The whole thing goes by so fast. The video was a bit cringe to film and watch back, but I don't have any regrets getting it. It is $100 if you want either video or photos or $140 for both. The photos are just stills from the video, so it's bit pricey to pay an extra $40 on top for both. Overall, I had a fun time skydiving with Skydive Golden Gate. The instructors and staff were great, and the whole experience was thrilling and certainly gave me an adrenaline rush. The main downsides were the delays in schedule and the pricing for photos/videos. That being said though, I would still come back here and jump again!

I went skydiving here for the first time and had an amazing experience. Everything went smoothly,…read morebut unfortunately, my video got lost in the process. The staff was incredibly apologetic and truly went above and beyond to make it right. They offered to take me again at no cost, and both times my videographer Kevin Weckerle and my tandem instructor Dennis McGlynn were both phenomenal. Kevin captured everything perfectly and even put together a fantastic edited video that I'll always treasure. Dennis made the entire jump feel safe, fun, and exciting--I couldn't have asked for a better tandem instructor. What impressed me most was how much the team cared about making sure I had the best possible experience. When they realized the first time the video was gone they immediately took responsibility and made sure I left with memories (and a video) I'll never forget. Their kindness and professionalism turned what could have been a disappointing situation into an even better adventure. I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking to skydive. Make sure to ask for my tandem instructor Dennis McGlynn. He has been skydiving for 50+ years and was incredible. For the video make sure to get Kevin Weckerle to record. His incredible editing and video skills made the video amazing and he had lots of jokes along the way to make you less nervous especially on my first time. I would 100% recommend Bay Area Skydiving for anyone thinking about trying it out. The staff was amazing and made me feel welcome. If I wasn't going back to school I would be there every weekend!

Needless to say, I made sure to pay the little extra so hubby could experience the aerobatics this plans could do...giant loops and barrel rolls and cutting toilet paper (you'll have you fly to know what I'm talking about on that one). If you've been thinking about it, I highly encourage anyone and everyone to try this adventure at least once. You'll be glad you did...hubby is already planning his next ride up into the wild blue yonder in the warbird. We call dibs!

Last July, I came back with my…read moredaughter and I did my second tandem, she did her first--and we immediately fell in love with skydiving & knew we wanted more. One month later, we did another jump at NorCal and expressed our desire to continue. Tyler & Jim explained the process of getting licensed and by then we knew there was no turning back. We started our AFF classes because we knew skydiving was something we wanted to keep doing... and we wanted to get licensed to jump alone. Tyler and everyone at NorCal Skydiving have been absolutely incredible. From day one, they've been supportive, motivational, and genuinely encouraging. Safety is clearly a top priority, and the team is always honest, fair, and professional while still making the entire experience fun and empowering. This is the kind of place that makes you believe in yourself and pushes you--safely and responsibly--to do things you never thought you could. I truly cannot recommend NorCal Skydiving enough. If you're even thinking about skydiving, this is where you want to be!!!

We spent the day at NorCal Skydiving yesterday celebrating my mom's 85th birthday -- yes, her 85th…read more(and not even her first jump -- she also went at 80!). About a dozen of us jumped together, while other friends and family came along to cheer us on. It was truly one of the best family outings ever. The weather was perfect, the atmosphere was relaxed and fun, and the entire staff made the day unforgettable. From start to finish, every instructor and team member was not only highly professional and experienced, but also welcoming, funny, and able to put even the most nervous among us completely at ease. They took the time to check in with each of us about our comfort levels and gave us the choice to either soar gently like a bird or try out some more daring stunts -- always safe, but always exciting. I want to give a special shout-out to Tyler, my instructor, who made my first jump feel natural, safe, and completely exhilarating. Also to Jim, who wasn't working that day but hung out with us, shared amazing stories, and made us feel like part of the NorCal Skydiving family. What a pleasure to meet him! I honestly didn't know what to expect and thought I'd be terrified once I was up in the plane, but instead my fears disappeared and I was able to embrace the entire experience. The mix of freedom, serenity, and sheer accomplishment is something I'll never forget. If you've ever thought about skydiving, do it -- and do it here. NorCal Skydiving gave us one of the best days of our lives. I can't recommend them highly enough and I will definitely be back.

We drove to iFly Roseville from Sonoma County for my son's birthday. I wasn't sure what to expect,…read morebut we were greeted warmly and brought into the main area to get suited up. Our instructor was John-Felix, although he goes by John. My son is 22 and fairly athletic, so I figured that he'd enjoy it. What I was less prepared for was how much I loved it! It is a fairly expensive hobby, although, if you're on-site after paying for a session, they have more reasonable rates if you want to buy additional sessions. Since we don't live locally, I didn't indulge in one of the packages, despite the temptation. They walk you through everything clearly and there's a brief training class in a classroom after which we waited our turn on the perimeter while we were called up one at a time. Each "flight" was approximately 1 minute and 20 seconds and we each got two flights. We all passed on the high flight option, but during our second time they walked us through how to begin navigating in the wind tunnel during our turn. That was my favorite part! I found it fascinating feeling the degree to which small modifications in the angle of my hands or the extension of my arms changed my position and movement in the air. I felt like a bird. The flights are brief, but memorable and meant to resemble the length of time usually experienced during a skydiving jump. We didn't pay for the high flights, but we enjoyed our experience nonetheless. Our instructor was encouraging and helpful. At the end, he did a quick demonstration of the types of tricks that can be done with training, all sorts of spins and flips! Already considering when we can make it back again. * Word to the wise, my kids both have long hair and they both ended up wishing they'd had it tucked into their suits since it got significantly tangled and required quite a lengthy communion with a hairbrush afterward to get the tangles out. I think a braid might also be a good option.
