I love fast things and this was FAST! Freefall and the views were amazing!! I jumped the end of September and the weather was fantastic. Want to go again, but not sure about the weather, may have to wait until Spring, but I will be back. EVERYONE at Skydive Oregon was extremely professional and you could tell they love what they do. I HIGHLY recommend jumping with them. Here's what we learned you need to know before you go: You have to be 18 and there is a weight limit - not a problem for our group, but check if you are not in good shape. We were told it is a safety requirement with equipment and instructors. The jump wasn't super strenuous, but you have to be in good shape for the landing. Reservations - recommend you call in advance. Popular times fill up on the weekends. $50 deposit required and yes, they do tell you there is a one week cancellation policy when you reserve. You don't loose the $$ if there is bad weather on your jump day. The female rep spent a lot of time on the phone explaining what to wear, bring, etc. very professional and helpful. Video - Get video and photos if you can afford it. Ask for it when you reserve - some people didn't and had to jump later. You can check out examples on Youtube. It's worth it to have proof of your skydive and the person who jumps with you is amazing to watch in the air. Jump Day - Don't forget your ID, the paperwork is lengthy and a bit scary. The class is not very long, but we had a female instructor (Teresa I think) who was funny and informative, she helped ease nerves. You don't have to wear a jumpsuit, but they do look cool in the video and keep you from getting your butt dirty on landing. Instructors - I jumped with Archie, he was a pro. I think he has 14,000 skydives? My friends jumped with Josiah, Zak and Brian all were really pleased. I was told you can make requests, which I plan to do when I jump again. Friends - Tell your friends to bring a camera, snacks and something to read or do. There will be a wait. While we were getting nervous, they were getting bored. Once we jumped, they were excited, but it can take time. There are tables and nice shaded areas available. I give Skydive Oregon 5*'s for Safety, Fun, Professionalism and a Great Experience! read more

Blue Skies is AWESOME!!! I was terrified when I got there the morning of my jump!! My whole life I've always been the more timid type...."you want me to do WHAT?! ....no thanks, I'll stand back at the sidelines and watch all of you have fun." Well, my cousin talked me into being brave and jumping out of a perfectly good plane! Soooo, I agreed and there we were at Skydive Oregon signing away our life and waiting to be called on! It was actually very comforting getting there as early as we did because we were able to see other groups go up and land! Sooooo cool! We had about a 5-10 minute class instructing us on how we should jump and what position our bodies should be in as we freefall!! (BIGGEST RUSH EVER!!!) I felt confident as our group was called after observing all the groups ahead of us & our class that I was going to be just fine and have the time of my life!!! I suited up, was video taped by my AWESOME camera man, Josiah, before my jump and headed out to the plane! I think I would have been more scared if I hadn't been the ONLY girl in my group surrounded by beautiful men (especially my instructor Rocky & camera guy Josiah!!)!! I had to be brave! The plane ride up to 13,000 feet was incredible! Absolutely beautiful scenery and a total out of body experience! My instructor,Rocky, went over everything with me on the way up & made me feel comfortable and STOKED about what I was getting ready to do. Thanks, Rocky!!! ;) I was 2nd to jump out and it was the most amazing thing ever!!!!! Freefall was the craziest part - totally awesome!!! After the chute opened we just enjoyed the view and the rush! Landed after about 8 minutes and I wanted to head straight back up!! I'll definitely be back! Thank you Rocky for making me feel safe, for getting me down safe and being a part of the most thrilling & exciting experience of my life!!!!! Skydive Oregon you rock! Anyone looking to skydive for the first time should come here! You won't regret it and you'll be back!! Thanks again! :) read more

Our experience at Skydive Oregon was simply amazing. My oldest daughter has wanted to jump since she was 16 or 17. She recently turned 18 and is leaving shortly for college so this was a send off present of sorts. The staff at the front desk was friendly and charismatic. The waiver process was understandably lengthy but easy to complete. After that it was time for the brief instruction class. Our daughter then came out with all of her gear on and talked with us (7 of us came to watch) for a bit. A short time later her tandem instructor Bret came out and greeted us, explained the process and engaged the entire group. Bret was great and made the experience fun not only for my daughter but for our group of spectators! We did purchase the video package and in my opinion it was money well spent. Bret was calm and entertaining which I think helped reduce the stress level for our daughter and he was able to catch some priceless photos and videos that we have watched over and over. None of us had ever been to skydive Oregon until a week ago and had no idea what to expect. From the minute we arrived until we left it was just a great experience. It was clear that the company takes safety very seriously (as evidenced by their safety record) and at the same time they made the experience beyond fun for everyone. read more

AWESOME!! There is no describing our experience. We celebrated our birthdays jumpiing from a plane. Our instructors were great, the view was great, our videos and pictures were awesome (I used one for my facebook pic). Everyone was really nice. Can't wait to jump again. We're trying to get a group so we can get a discount. Here's the part with more details, since I'm supposed to write more than just "awesome": we did a tandem jump from 13,000 feet. We felt safe, we checked out their safety record in advance. Their paperwork is kind of scary, but that's to be expected. The freefall was really thrilling and seeing the camera guy fly in front of me was amazing. I was kind of surprised at how much I liked flying the parachute around the sky, it's really quiet and beautiful. Ask your instructor if you can help do a turn, it's fun. Landing was a lot easier than I expected. It really was a great experience that everyone should try at least once. read more

Have had good experiences in the past--particularly with the crew and jump staff. The lady owner, however, could use a class in customer service and how to interact with her customers. I consistenly recruit 6-10 people to jump every year on the 4th of July--bringing in revenue of over $2500 for the company. Last year, I brought a last minute add-on, but despite all of the business I've brought over the years, I had to fight to get the group rate. I'm talking about potentially losing all that business over a measly $20. This year, I called them to ensure pricing was the same before recruiting my group again. It took two days to get a return call, and then the same lady owner was incredibly rude. I hung up and will NOW BE GOING TO SKYDIVE SALEM!!! People--the jump is ALWAYS going to be amazing--so please support businesses that care for their customers! read more

I understand the need for a streamlined process for this kind of a business in terms of insurance, permits, regulations, etc... BUT my experience here seemed to be based entirely around those guidelines. This is a large operation, pushing through as many customers as it can. There was such a little amount of personal interaction, so much so that my partner's guide in the tandem jump didn't even introduce himself! The staff was obviously stressed by the number of customers which makes it far from the kind of personal experience I was looking for when doing such a life-changing, epic activity like jumping out of a plane with a complete stranger. Either way, the actual jumping was incredible and I felt very safe...which covers the essentials. read more

We were first time skydivers and Skydive Oregon made it a perfect experience! We went today and I can't say enough good things about them. From the gals at the front desk to the instructors, the staff were easygoing but extremely competent. They made it easy and fun to jump out of a perfectly good airplane. There was a bit of a wait before we could load up, but that's because they're looking out for the safety of the jumpers since it was still clouded over. As soon as the clouds started to clear, they got through folks pretty quickly. It's definitely worth the money. Oh, and don't forget to get a photography package if you can. read more

What a way to turn 60! Skydive Oregon made my birthday jump (with friends) an amazing experience! They are very thorough and manage to keep you calm as they explain what is going to happen and every one of their Dive Instructors has a great sense of humor to keep you laughing and having a great time! Definitely ask for the photo and video package, I don't know how they do it but the shots are a once in a lifetime experience! Thank you John for helping make my special day an experience to remember for a lifetime! Highly recommend Skydive Oregon and the whole crew for a great day! read more

I went for the first time yesterday, and I can't put into words how incredible this experience was. John was an amazing instructor, and I can't imagine a better time without him. He made me feel very at ease and excited the whole way through. I appreciated his knowledge, expertise, professionalism, and fun spirit. I went into it thinking I would only have to do this once in my life, and I left thinking, "how could I ONLY do this once in my life?" I can't wait to jump again, and will definitely request John as my tandem. Skydive Oregon has a reputation for being the best for a reason! read more

BE CAREFUL!! This place employs men who sexually harass clients! My tandem jump with the instructor of Latino descent (I won't name him but it's obvious) made me feel extremely uncomfortable. Touching me inappropriately and making sexual comments about me. I wanted to slap him out of embarrassment! Not everyone is that bad but because of that one instructor I will definitely not be going back! read more

Excellent customer service starts at the front desk with Amy. The owner of the company/pilot even took time to talk with us about the weather conditions. But the best part by far was the professionalism and calming sense my tandem instructor Derek had. If its your 1st jump and you are scared to death, this is the place you need to go!!! Thank you for a great 50th birthday experience, Mike read more

These people are sly little liars. Never go here. I was treated so horribly by the manager Theresa Barren I was appauled She called me a liar when I was never informed of the " 7 days cancelation rule." She called me from a blocked number at 7pm to tell me that i wasnt getting my money back. It's sad that their business is doing so bad that they make such a fuss over a 100 deposit read more

I recently went skydiving for my first time at skydive Oregon. What an amazing experience! The people are great from start to finish!

If your thinking about jumping at Skydive Oregon, its time to stop thinking about it and do it! You will be glad you did! read more

In my 66 years of life this has been by far my number one favorite experience. I felt completely safe with my instructor Tim during the whole jump. I have already recruited my son and daughter in law to join me next time I jump. I can't wait for them to experience this amazing venture. read more

I jumped with Trevor on june 29th, 2019. he made it the best experience possible. I threw up on the way down and it definitely got on him but he made me feel extremely comfortable about it. if definitely do it again if I didn't have such a weak stomach Overall Trevor was awesome! read more
