    Great day skydiving for my son! Took my son and his friend skydiving for his birthday present and am very happy. Instructors and and staff were friendly and gracious. Hope to come back again soon!

    I had a great time and really enjoyed this amazing experience! My son in law and daughter love skydiving and I'm really glad that they took me along with them one morning to let me share this adventure with them. The team at Norcal skydiving is really great! They are very professional and make you feel right at home. I did a tandem jump and the experience was awesome! If you're thinking about skydiving, I totally recommend Norcal skydiving!

    I'm often very reserved, almost afraid to express emotion in emotional situations, but I felt so encouraged to relax and open up.

    I had the BEST time doing a tandem dive here. I have a fear of heights in a lot of situations (like standing on the side of cliffs) so you'd think jumping out of a small plane would terrify me, but I felt totally secure and taken care of. My instructor explained everything I needed to know in language I could understand, he made sure my harness fit me exactly right, and he detailed what would happen from start to finish, so when the time came to take off, I had no fear at all. Even the flight up in the small plane was smooth. It all contributed to a totally awesome experience. I also have trepidation walking into a new situation alone--yes I went alone--but I felt so welcomed by everyone. Even the single jumpers were cool with me, which made me feel incredibly comfortable in a potentially daunting environment. I drove home with a huge smile on my face. Thank you guys for a wonderful and memorable day. I'll definitely be back.

    What else can I say but WOW! This was an amazing experience and my instructor Carson was magnificent! He made me feel really safe and made the experience memorable. I had zero fear the entire time and enjoyed every minute!! Love this place!

    All I can say is AMAZING! First of all they fit us in the day of when I accidentally booked our skydiving for the wrong date. Needless to say we were really bummed out but NorCal came through. Great group of people, from the desk clerk to instructors to people just hanging out. Everyone was nice helpful and funny, which helped to ease our nerves being that this was our first jump!! Tyler aka "Jeff" and Carson were our tandem instructors and we would not have asked for two better guys. Made us laugh the whole time but also gave great clear instructions. Def made our jump so much better having these two guys! The jump WOW! We did the classic which was from 12,000 feet, can I just say the views go on for days. You can see all the way to the ocean. Vineyards for days and the mountains. Could not have asked for a better day to jump out of a plane! Haha. If you have any thoughts of skydiving I would definitely recommend it and recommend these guys in Northern California! Check them out!! And thanks guys for a great Sunday Funday!

    Nothing but AMAZING!! Cameron was so patient and fun. First class skydiving operation. Feel like I made some new friends today and was allowed to scream like a banshee Life changing.

    If you asked me on Monday if I would jump out of a plane, I would have told you are crazy!! My boyfriend has always wanted to do it. So for his birthday we went!!! I was scared out of my mind but I am so happy I did it. I jumped with Tyler and he knew I was scared and he calmed me, cracked jokes and kept me very informed on what was going on. What an awesome team!! I would do it again! Tyler and Carson are amazing at what they do. Big thank you guys!! Coolest thing I have ever done in my life! Everyone needs to do this at least once! Do it here!! NorCal Skydiving is where it's at!

    wonderful family experience! easy to book! flexible scheduling! accommodating staff! super skilled divers! owners awesome and willing to step in at any time to make it that much better! would definitely book again!

    So I'm updating because I jumped with these guys again. Here's the thing: So did my mom; Who has Parkinson's; And uses a walker most of the time. For her birthday she thought a hot air balloon ride would be fun. My sister and I researched this, and came up with the following: 1. In a hot air balloon ride there are at least 6 people, sometimes up to 12 2. You're standing the whole time, not great for my mom who can't stand for extended periods of time; 3. The hot air balloon only goes to 1200 feet. We asked instead, "do you think you want to jump out of an airplane before you die?" She got really excited by the idea. Long story short, we asked these very experienced, super-talented jumpers at Norcal if they could accommodate someone physically impaired they said they've done it many times for paraplegics and others with physical impairments. So instead of cruising with strangers at only 1200 feet, standing for two hours, she flew the air from 13,000 feet and got to float with the birds. On the day of our jump the Norcal boys were so good with my mom, took such great care with her, and facilitated an experience that she has said several times since, is one of the highlights of recent memory; that she keeps "dreaming about flying out of that airplane." Might as well jump!

    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!

    Wow! Thanks Gus and Greg! A lot goes into providing a safe, educational, yet stress free and fun…read moreskydiving experience and for all of this to come through in such spades means that these guys must really love their job. We did our first tandem dive with Gus and Greg this weekend - it was unreal. You can tell they work with first timers a lot, they're calm and to the point and super psyched. The whole team created an easy-going experience and we couldn't be more grateful!

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.
