Soft AdventureSkydive
Knysna, South Africa
Skydive Plett offers an epic tandem skydiving experience over the scenic Garden Route, taking you up in a light aircraft to about 10,000 feet before you free-fall at ~200-220 km/h for around 35 seconds, then float down under parachute.
Set in one of South Africa’s most beautiful drop zones, you’ll drift over awe-inspiring coastline, lush Knysna forests, and ocean views — especially dramatic during whale and dolphin seasons.
Tandem Skydiving at Skydive Plett is a heart-pounding freefall adventure where you take to the skies on a ~20-minute flight before your jump from about 10,000 ft, soaring over the Knysna forests and Plettenberg Bay coastline.
With your experienced tandem master (13+ years), you’ll experience a ~35-second freefall at ~200 km/h, followed by a graceful parachute descent and scenic landing — with choices of airport or beach landings depending on weather/schedule.
Tour / Jump Options:
- Tandem skydives from 10,000 ft with airport landing.
- Tandem skydives from 12,000 ft offering a higher freefall experience.
- Beach landings (Central Beach), when weather allows.
- Airport / airstrip landings (if beach landing not available or chosen).
- Optional photo / video add-ons: a cameraman or “handycam” to capture your freefall and descent.
- Briefing & Gear Up: On arrival you’ll meet your Tandem Master (experienced instructor), receive a full safety briefing, and get kitted with harness, jumpsuit, goggles.
- Flight to Altitude: The plane ride up takes about 20 minutes, offering scenic views of Plettenberg Bay coastline, Robberg Peninsula, and Knysna forests.
- Freefall: Once at altitude, you’ll exit the plane and experience approximately 35-40 seconds of freefall, reaching speeds up to ~200
- Canopy Descent: After freefall, the parachute deploys automatically and you’ll drift / glide back down (around 4-5 minutes) under canopy, enjoying sweeping views.
- Landing: Land either at the airfield / airport drop-zone or on the beach (if option selected and weather/time allows).
- Age & Consent: Minimum age is ~ 12 years (younger than 18 requires parental / guardian consent).
- Weight Limit: There is a maximum weight limit for safety; often around 100-105 kg.
- Weather-Dependent: Jumps happen all year round, but only in safe weather conditions (no strong winds, good visibility). Some landings (like on the beach) may be cancelled if conditions are not suitable.
- Comfortable clothes: T-shirt, long trousers or leggings are best. Something that won’t flap or get in the way.
