Finally reviewing this place!…read more I decided to ask to skydive for my 18th birthday present. The staff was extremely fun and nice. I personally didn't have a bad thing to say about my experience. However.... I have no idea how this place is still in business with how many deaths they have on their hands. The latest death was from a tandem jump that was supposed to be with an instructor but the "professional jumper" wasn't rated as such. At least, that's what the news said. My experience? 10/5 stars. Everyone who has passed from this place? 0/10 stars. I went skydiving in Hawaii on the Big Island and they literally know about this skydive location in Lodi being known for deaths. They don't understand how this business is still in business.

This was my second time at iFLY, and while last year was fun, this year was truly amazing…read more I was there with my son Lex, who has special needs. He's nonverbal and uses a wheelchair. I initially asked the staff whether he would qualify for a special needs or disabled flight at a future visit because I honestly didn't think there would be room or that it would be possible. They immediately reassured me that he could fly, and I figured we'd come back another time. Then something really special happened. Even though Lex doesn't attend the same school as my daughters that were there on a field trip (he goes to a different school with a special education program), the school approached me and offered us an extra spot. I said yes, not really knowing what to expect. From that moment on, the staff was incredible, kind, patient, gentle, and completely accommodating. They treated Lex with dignity and enthusiasm, not hesitation. He got to fly twice, and he absolutely loved it. When he finished, everyone clapped and cheered for him, and it was one of those moments you don't forget as a parent. I can't say enough good things about the experience. If you're a special needs family and wondering whether your child will truly be included and supported here, the answer is yes. I highly, highly recommend iFLY.

We met with an instructor as a group who went over all of the safety instructions, we changed into jumpsuits and received more instruction.

We all felt safe during the experience and would certainly return to do it again. Thanks guys

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!

Years ago there was a period where I had the opportunity to spend a lot of time in small, private, single engine airplanes. Except for long-hauls, I always enjoyed them more that commercial jet flights - the experience is more up close and personal. Anyway, nothing compares to my biplane experience at Adventure Flight. What a bunch of fun. Andy is a skilled and personable pilot. I had signed up for aerobatics and although slightly apprehensive, I was committed to "sticking to the plan". The pilot made it easy, comfortable and excitingly memorable. We did multiple, giant loop de loops and barrel rolls along with other maneuver that I can't name. I am not a young man .... but, I can honestly say this was one of the most fun things I have done in my life .... Consequently, I plan to do it again. I highly recommend Adventure Flight. Note, Andy's fleet is not limited to the biplane.

I couldn't stay silent about this. I love adventures, and if you're like me, don't waste your money and time. John said he would email us the night before to confirm the jump, depending on the weather. He sent the email confirming the jump, everyone knew it would be drizzling. It was a long drive for all jumpers (2-3 hours), and when we arrived at the confirmed location, he spent the entire time trying to convince us not to do the adventure. He kept saying it would be cold (today is 12/28/24 it was 52 degrees in Placerville) and wet (really? You knew it'd be drizzling since yesterday). And he said it wasn't dangerous and he has experience in all weather conditions...but since we were all women, apparently we were too weak, right John?! He asked if we'd be okay with the weather and all the women (four jumpers) said we'd be fine. However, he apparently wasn't happy with our response, so he continued trying to dissuade us. The guy with him, Ludo, was really cool, uplifting, and professional (Dude! If you're reading this, go start your own business; you're great). Anyway, after everyone reassured him about the weather, John asked me if we could talk privately. He then expressed his concern that I might not be able to do the adventure because I'm on the "heavier side." Just to clarify, I'm a 5'7" woman, 140 lbs, and very active. When I unzipped my jacket he goes : "-oh wow, you got a flat stomach, but you know what?? Are you sure your friends would be ok to be out there in the cold with you?" (I had two guests with me) With the other woman, he claimed she didn't have the right clothes and continued to discourage us for over an hour. Even when we said we were ready to go and do the jump, he said he'd cancel it. Furthermore, if you didn't know, he doesn't have a permit for his "adventures". Be careful, don't trust your life to this guy.

What an amazing experience! John and Don are great and put my mind at ease about the jump. They…read morewere very professional and have run thousands of jumps. They thoroughly answered any questions that my group had and were continuously asking if anyone had any questions or concerns. My group sprung for the whole picture, video, and GoPro packages and it was absolutely worth it! The GoPro in particular was able to capture our exact reactions when we fell and is a great way to look back on such a unique memory. (But as John warned, do not let the GoPro interfere with being aware during your jump). One of my group members has a history of back problems so they recommended going with the body harness instead of the ankle harness we all paid for. She immediately got her money back and I was reassured that I could switch harnesses if I ended up chickening out of the ankle one. However, I am so happy I went with the ankle harness as it truly felt like I was flying during the jump. You may choose to go forward or backward and let me tell you it is terrifying to turn around on the railing but definitely worth it!! The location we went to was breathtaking and peaceful. I cannot wait to return to jump again!

We the weather being so unpredictable we had to wait. I was fine with wait because i do value my life. I had the chance to cross off a major item from my bucket list. A hot air balloon ride and wow, what an experience! The views were absolutely breathtaking. Floating high above the landscape, seeing everything from a completely new perspective, was truly magical. The sunrise was especially beautiful as we drifted along, and the silence up there, broken only by the loud occasional burst of the burner, was unlike anything I've ever experienced. That said, there were a few things to consider. The heat from the burner can be overwhelming, especially if you're not prepared for it. I didn't wear a hat, and I really wish I had and i am short 5'2 those blasts of hot air can get pretty intense when they hit you directly! So, if you're planning this trip, definitely bring something to cover your head. The landing was a bit of a wild ride, too. The ground was much harder and more uneven than I expected, and we didn't quite know where we'd land until we were almost on top of it. Also getting in and out can be extremely challenging. It's hard climbing into and out of the basket and it's very tightly packed. Not a lot of space to move. I knew the risks going in but the whole experience was so worth it. Even with those little surprises, it was absolutely incredible. Would I do it again? Definitely not! Despite the heat and the bumpy landing, the beauty of the experience makes it all worthwhile and a one timer for me. I highly recommend it if you're looking for something unique and unforgettable to add to your list of adventures. Just don't forget your hat!

It was very apparent they enjoy what they do and that helped to add to the experience. I would highly recommended this for anyone trying to come up with a unique way to propose.

Holy cow! Weather and I seem to be perpetually at odds but let me tell you, it was ABSOLUTELY worth…read morethe wait! I did get cancelled on a few times, I was at first annoyed, instant gratification junky, but then realized they have no control over the weather AND safety comes first. That earned my respect right there. We met at the site at 6 am, not 6:01 or 6:12, 6am or before. Temperature plays a huge role in height and duration of flight. On time and safety are expected and delivered. At 6 sharp the ride started with tip over training, safety, and a brief roll call and waiver check and explanation. Important stuff! The balloon is beautiful and the pilots wife makes sure there are plenty of pics, she's super sweet and helpful. Takeoff is a bit disorienting, part helicopter, part jump. Once you hit the sky though, it's amazing. It is such a great feeling to float. Tim has a great sense of humor and can tell a story with gusto... between bursts of fire into the balloon. I have no idea how high we were but cows were hard to make out, they were that small. The morning couldn't have been more perfect. The landing was a bit bumpy, our training came in handy. Jarring like an old truck indoors a rough road, easy. As we waited for the truck to come and get us Tim gave us a wee history lesson on ballooning, with a champagne toast. I've been smiling all day. Independent and local, experienced and a perfect way to fly. Highly recommended is an understatement.
