Our 21 year wanted to come here for his birthday!! He, one of his brothers (the other stayed home), his good friend and his dad all jumped 9k. It was crazy to watch the whole experience...would absolutely never do it myself, but all of you people that are dare devils would love the experience...one of our boys got super sick afterwards (motion sickness unfortunately even with Dramamine)...he was still happy he did it with his brother!! Everyone here seemed like they not only really enjoyed their job but were really good instructors! Very impressed!! Also if you have dogs bring them! They have a nice big open area made for dogs...wish we would have know! They also have toys for 5 & under! Cute souvenir shop that has affordable shirts which I really appreciated!! read more

AMAZING experience for one of my 20-something birthdays!! If you're an adrenaline junkie like me, skydiving is for you- there's no other feeling like it and it's such a thrill. My past hs physics teacher Rob Black and his crew were so cool to dive with and made my friends' and my 1st time memorable. First you go through an educational part so you know the play by play of what's to come. Then you change into a cool flight suit, parachute pack, goggles. Next thing you know you're boarding a little plane ascending 13k feet to the clouds. I'll never forget the launch- my tandem instructor and I sat at the edge of the plane opening, he goes "Ready, 1...." And then he hurled us both out! I was expecting for us to go at "3!" Free fall was such a freeing experience - I was flying! I was on top of the world and remember seeing little squares of green, brown on the ground and the wind flapping my cheeks. I will never forget that feeling. Then 3 taps and the parachute emerged and we soared and eventually floated down and landed. Recommend getting the package with the pics and video so you can relive the experience! I was on a high the rest of the day and still remember this experience vividly several years later. Highly recommend Skydance! read more

Such an amazing experience!!!! One of my biggest fears, heights and my girlfriend convinced me to do it at her birthday so I did. Not going to lie, I was terrified inside the plane, but once you jump everything changes. All I can say is I had one of my best moments/experience and I would definitely try this again soon. 10/10 read more

SkyDance SkyDiving - First time diving... - Skydiving Near Me - Davis, California

This was the completion of my bucket list and I done it on my 49th birthday. The experience was nothing short of amazing and I had 2 of the best divers to make this experience worth while in my photographer/videographer Sarah filming the experience and my instructor Ross. They made me feel so comfortable to I wasn't at all nervous from beginning to the end. I highly recommend it and I will go back for another jump. read more

Oh my goodness, What an experience. It was my first jump and I had THEE best time. My instructor was Ross and he was AMAZING. He had years of experience and shared his passion and love for what he does. Ross was very thorough with instruction, very confident, and made me feel so comfortable I hardly had any nerves about jumping. I had such a great time it was so much fun, and I loved it. This was my first of (hopefully) many! Thank you Ross & SkyDance SkyDiving! read more

Wow and wow. What a great experience start to finish. I explained I wanted a bucket list experience and I got one. The team was amazing and friendly always keeping my safety and comfort as the priority. Brian was great at keeping me informed and helping me schedule my first jump. He paired me up with Jorge "Jello" to tandem and Curt Vert to take video and pics. Everyone on the plane with me was super kind and supportive and made it easy to want to be just like them. I got the footage, I bought the T-shirt and I even took advantage of the return jump offer. Why not?! The rush was real but not nearly as gut wrenching as I'd imagined. I'd give more stars if I could. I can't wait to go back! read more

Worst dropzone in Northern California. Go to Skydive California if you want a big plane. If you're only looking for a tandem, NorCal or Goldengate or Skydive California. This is really not fun jumper friendly like they advertise, sure you can fun jump, around the tandem schedule. The student gear is old, as well as the program, there are far better training programs, even at Lodi. There was even a student that died here a while back. Go skydive somewhere else. It's poorly managed with an outdated, bare minimum training program. You'll get far more for your money at a different dropzone if you're trying to get a license. read more

It's another world very awesome I personal recommended to everyone not afraid to the high levels, and they are very professionals read more

Everyone on the SkyDance team was kind and welcoming! As a first time jumper who was very nervous, I couldn't have asked for a better experience! Ross is a real one, I'll be back for round two! read more

If you want to sky dive this is the place to go! Great safety record. Very nice community here. Clean restrooms. Professional and respectful instructors. I booked a tandem 18k sky diving jump for two people. The process is very smooth. Booking online was easy. They have an electronic waiver and a safety video online. You can choose to pay in full or just the deposit of $50 online. Tip: There is a 3% surcharge for credit card. So it may be worth it to pay only the deposit online and pay the rest in cash or with debit in person. I paid $773 for two 18k tandems because I paid by credit in full online. The price listed in the office for 2024 is $365 for the 18k tandem. Rescheduling is also very easy and no hassle as long as it's before 48 hours of the original appointment. Follow the link in the email. When you reschedule you can actually see the availability for each time slot. If you choose a time with less people you will likely be on the shorter end of the 1.5 to 4 hour time frame. We arrived early around 2:45pm for our 3pm appointment and were completely done by around 4:15pm. (Note we were the only 18k tandem appointments for the 2pm and 3pm time that day.) We had Jack and Jorge. Both instructors were great! Very respectful and listened to what we wanted. You have a choice of the full suit or if you only want the pants. If you don't want to pull the parachute or steer that's okay. They'll do that for you and you can just enjoy the ride. Jorge really helped put me at ease because I was nervous. The plane is tiny. The solo fun jumpers will probably be in there too. You may practically have strangers sitting in your lap. But everyone was nice. Fist bumps all around before they jumped. Tip: If you wear glasses you should wear contacts instead or take off your glasses entirely and not jump with them. The goggles they give you are very tight. My glasses were smudged from pressing against my eye lids. It was a bit uncomfortable. To pop your ears plug your nose and blow. That will help with the discomfort. I wish I had known that during the free fall when it was the most uncomfortable. Tip your instructors! They have Venmo QR codes posted and also little envelopes for cash tips. These folks really deserve it! At the end we were given certificates, stickers, and a coupon for the next sky dive. The coupon is only valid the day of your jump. You must purchase it on-site right after your sky dive. The coupon is about 50% off. So if you really enjoyed sky diving it's a good deal since it doesn't expire. Great experience at SkyDance! If I were to sky dive again I'd definitely come back here. read more

Skydance is awesome! I started learning to skydive here at the beginning of 2023. This place has changed the course of my life for the better in so many ways! Shoutout to my favorite instructor Sarah!!! If you're looking to get into the sport this is the place to learn! Expert instructors, friendly staff, and an amazing atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend for a first skydive or student program! read more

I had an amazing time learning the great sport of Skydiving via SkyDance. Brian was a great instructor, friendly guy and cool looking Santa. I didn't have any expectations going into it, really just enjoying the moment and beauty of Davis and surrounding areas, and Brian and the rest of the staff helped ease any worry or nervousness. The only thing that was an issue was my ear hurting during my time being the air but after a few yawns and wiggling my cheeks, the pain went away. One of the many good parts of my experience was that I met another girl who came solo, and we had a great time hanging out and plan to go Hot Air Ballooning soon. If you're ever into thrill seeking adventures, check out SkyDance! read more

When I went here, men kept walking up and touching me. The instructors and some skydivers would touch me. When I said I was uncomfortable, the behavior continued and everyone pretended not to notice. There is a clause you sign before skydiving that says you cannot sue for sexual harassment, and the instructor can touch you to put on a harness. Odd because random men's hands were on me and it had nothing to do with my harness. The teachers here were rude or would flat out ignore me. There was some random guy screaming and swearing me out that I believe worked for Skydance and people watched and said nothing. He didn't have a reason to scream and swear me out. He had been staring at me constantly before.. I was stared at constantly by men. Openly. Even men who worked under skydance skydiving. read more

I went skydiving July 25,2024. This was my first time and for my 64th birthday. It was a blast! I had Brian as my tandem instructor.He made me feel very comfortable and explained everything to me in detail. I was very very nervous. It was a great experience I felt very safe in Brian's hands. He made this experience something I will never forget for the rest of my life. I t was so exhilarating. Chris my videographer Was also the best. They were a great team during my jump. I had said I would not do it again one and done. Actually now I might just go again and ask for Brian and Chris. I also might do 13000 feet instead of 9000. I recommend this business 1000% . read more

My 77yr old Dad wanted to check skydiving off his bucket list. He was scheduled for a morning jump, the weather was perfect, calm and clear. The staff was laid back, casual, and extremely professional! Dad jumped tandem with his instructor, Ross Vail, super nice guy with tons of experience under his belt. We arrived early and were hanging out at the picnic tables and got to see Ross (his instructor) pull up for the day on his bad-ass Harley, so cool! Everyone made Dad feel comfortable, pumped up and really special. The other jumpers in the plane that day were so kind as well as my Dad's videographer, Curt Vert. Even fist bumps all around before each & everyone jumped! Dad was the only jumper in our family that day and they let us go through the whole process with Dad all the way up until his walk out to the plane. It was such a high for him and an experience of a lifetime. SKYDANCE SKYDIVING was PHENOMENAL, THANK YOU ALL! And, if you are reading this and are thinking about jumping..........DO IT! read more

Started my AFF here and loving everything. I have done Tandem jumps prior, at other DZs, in Northen California , San Diego, Perris SD, Tahoe, Hawaii. This place is easily the best in every way. The staff are incredible humans, experienced, welcoming, and just genuine! Atmosphere is friendly and very motivating. Litteral Professionals everywhere, you will be in a hangar full of "Giants". For those interested in AFF I cant recommend SkyDance enough. I have bever met a group of strangers that are so passionate, patient, and engaging. A person you have nerve met before gives you their undivided attention, time, and experience to eventually get you up there on your own...Thats a freaking Gift! Think about that... Thats wildly profound. Anyway... if you are thinking AFF or just your first jump you are in the right place. read more

I booked a Tandem 13,000' jump + video package for my boyfriend with this company after doing some research and reading good reviews. It was a bucket list item for him. This review is from my perspective and his. The process to book online was very easy. There was enough information for me to be satisfied with what he could expect. I received an email afterwards with documents that he could complete before arrival to save some time. When we arrived, we were met with friendly service and a quick check in process. Kurt was the person assigned to my bf for the tandem jump. This is a side note, but I want to add it. They have a small fenced in dog park on-site if you have pups. I brought my two so it was nice to hang out there. There is a bleacher seating area to watch the jumpers land, but I could see the landing from the dog park. Kurt had his friendly Aussie/cattle dog pup, Abby, (seen in the pics here) who hung out with my pups and I in the park while they went off to do their jump. Comments from my bf: Kurt was experienced, friendly, patient, and provided all the relevant info for a safe and successful jump. The videographer (sorry did not catch his name) provided reassurance with another friendly presence up in the sky. He had the videos/pics link ready and sent to us in an hour or so. So happy to have bought that because it was fun for my bf to relive the experience and when you are filled with adrenaline, you miss some of the details at the time. It was great for me to watch the videos and see the pics too. If my bf were ever to do this again, he would definitely come back here. Thanks Kurt, Abby, and Skydance Diving for making this an epic experience and memory!!! read more

My boyfriend and I talked about going it would be my first time and his second time, but he made it happen for me. I loved the experience people here were friendly good customer service the wait was only like 2 hours before we got to jump which wasn't to bad. They do have good deals just have to keep a eye out. I had Greg which was my instructor he was so awesome made the experience so amazing for my first time going. If you ever go here I recommend him. I got to say I was nervous jumping out of the plane, but after you get jump it's so awesome and amazing views. Perfect weather. I do recommend you come to this place for your first experience. We will definitely come back! read more

It's a good experience for a bucketlist item. On the fence if I ever want to do it again. After I reached the ground I was like do I really really want to repeat this? It was crazy but then even two days later I can still recall the feel and I haven't even checked the inbox and watched the videos. Super fast fall and the view is actually decent seeing Bay Area and Sacramento. The instructors are very talented and can navigate through different situations and I might not have had a clue if I did it solo. I was offered opportunity to pull the chute but tbh couldn't even see the altimeter from my position and beginner experience. An only ask is that the instructors swear less and have less profanity about and one was quite stern and the tone was a little harsh but maybe that's to make it heard or received. read more

So fun and so awesome! The staff here are super helpful and walk you through the process of it all. Josh was my tandem instructor. He was always positive and made me feel safe at all times. Loved it! Highly recommended read more

Gregg, awesome job on making me feel comfortable and safe on my decision to jump off 18000ft and making my experience unforgettably iconic. Your instructions are very clear, and your essence is very fun. Gentry, you didn't only made an excellent video of my experience but your vibe made me feel a sense of friendship I haven't experienced since my childhood. Not easy to explain. Hands up to you all for making skydiving a potentially addicting experience. Until next time. read more

Now, obviously I can't say that I've taken AFF Course at lots of different schools, but my experience here was absolutely superb. Within one day I was able to do my first jump, and I felt totally confident during the whole process. Don't get me wrong, the climb up and the jump out had my heart racing like it's never done, but you have two instructors with you the whole time to make sure that everything goes very smoothly. I've not got about 8 jumps in, did my first solo jump and now I don't get nervous anymore, but just stupidly excited! I can't even stop smiling when that plane leaves the ground and takes off. I feel that I have total confidence when jumping, pulling my chute, and landing exactly how I want to. I couldn't recommend another school more than I would this one. As for tandem, two of my friends did it, and they had the best time of their lives! If you're considering doing either of those, then I very much suggest you come here and find your wings. Shred some sky, baby ;D read more

I am a big chicken! I admit it :-) Wanted to give this a try. Many moons ago I completed the Ground School to jump out of a plane. It was a lot of hard work but I did it. The ground school that is lol When it finally came to the big day... I just could not take the plunge and yes that is a pun and a very appropriate one :-). However my GF did! Hey I can't even walk and chew bubblegum LOL what was I going to do if I had to pull the second ripcord. Is there even a second ripcord??? So much for my fantasy adventure in the sky:)! read more

Very unique place. This place has a campus feel where many bring their family's and dogs to hang out. Came here to skydive and it was awesome. Not much to say honestly.

Amazing experience. My wife and I each did a tandem jump for our 24th year anniversary, and don't regret a thing. Brian and Kirby took great care of us. We both felt comfortable and secure, and we had a GREAT time. We're going to do another tandem jump or two, there's a lot you miss the first time. Next year we're planning on going through the AFF course. SkyDance will be seeing us again! And a big thanks to Kick and Scooby for getting great videos and pictures. It's awesome to be able to share this with our family and friends. Thanks all at SkyDance, we will be seeing you soon!!!! read more

OMG!!!! Thank you Brian! What an incredible experience! I now understand why people jump out of planes or maybe I'm just becoming crazy too. It's been 34 hours and I'm still feeling high from the adrenaline rush. I couldn't have asked for a better instructor. I felt safe and had the time of my life. Also grateful for my videographer for capturing the moment. Someone please tell me his name. I forgot everything that was said to me that day. For now, I'll just call him "Spider Monkey."

OMG. The single most Best Day of My Life. Ever. All the way from the ground to 13K and the moment I hit ground again. Ok, so I'm not an avid skydiver or anything so it's hard to compare to other places I've never personally tried but from stories I hear of some skydiving places (mainly Lodi) this place is The Best in NorCal. And really, this place ROCKS. - They're concerned about safety. Most importantly YOUR safety because let's face it... if you're being safe then the staff (i.e. your tandem partner) is definitely going to be safe. You get a thorough safety training before your jump, explaining the dos and don'ts. They go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. - FRIENDLY, awesome, knowledgeable, professional and passionate staff. - Reliable plane - Reliable equipment (that's carefully inspected) - My photographer/videographer was AWESOME. - You get an opportunity to pull the ripcord yourself!!! I have an unnatural fear of heights and never thought I would want to do it again.. but.. the moment I hit the ground I really wanted to do it all over! I even want to try the 18K tandem jump (eventually) and the night skydiving!!!!! read more

Skydiving is not for the faint of heart... or those lacking a personality or sense of humor. To come on and drag their rating down because you embody all three shows a grain of truth in what was shouted to dear Joe... and i wouldn't be surprised to find his gf encouraged the sky diver to egg him on. Fortunately, there are enough people who know the true value and attraction of a facility as professional and fastidious as they are engaging and entertaining. These people will agree that SkyDance and their instructors have all that and more. Don't let a bruised ego keep you from a fantastic jump!! I know I didn't!! Booking process was smooth as could be and I look forward to giving SkyDance my first dance!! read more

This review is specifically for the company, and not the sky diver instructors who are private contractors anyways and they were so much fun. This company simply has no respect for your time. We had a 10 AM appointment and didn't get called until 1:30 PM. When we checked in after three hours, they gave us no communication as to what was the holdup or why we had to wait so long. We are pretty sure the dive Instructors didn't arrive till 2.5 hours after our start time.... read more
