Skydiving Over Palm Jumeirah

Skydiving Over Palm Jumeirah

Take one of Dubai’s most unforgettable leaps with Skydiving Over Palm Jumeirah, a tandem skydive from the Palm Dropzone at Dubai Harbour. The experience takes you into freefall from up to 13,000 feet, reaching around 193 km/h while securely attached to an experienced tandem instructor. As Dubai opens beneath you, the flight can reveal spectacular aerial perspectives of Palm Jumeirah, The World Islands, Ain Dubai, Burj Al Arab and the surrounding coastline. No previous skydiving experience is required for a tandem jump, making it an extraordinary choice for eligible adult couples, solo travellers, groups and serious thrill-seekers. Few Dubai experiences combine this level of adrenaline with such a distinctive view of the UAE’s world-famous coastal engineering and skyline.

Book your Palm Jumeirah skydiving experience with Captain Dunes for easier reservation planning, eligibility guidance and coordination around your Dubai itinerary. Captain Dunes can help organise your confirmed booking details, while Skydive Dubai remains responsible for instructor assignment, aviation operations, safety equipment, participant checks and the tandem jump itself. Strict age, weight, BMI and medical requirements apply, so eligibility should be checked before confirming your experience. Allow approximately 3 to 4 hours for the complete process because registration, preparation, aircraft movement and weather can affect timing. Photo and video coverage depends on the package selected, so confirm your media inclusions before booking. For visitors seeking a signature Dubai adventure rather than a conventional sightseeing experience, a tandem jump above Palm Jumeirah delivers both the thrill and the view.

  • Age Requirement: Tandem participants must be 18 to 75 years old. Guests aged 70 to 75 need a doctor-signed and stamped Declaration of Fitness.
  • Weight & BMI Limits: Women must be 90 kg or less with BMI 27.5 or below. Men must be 100 kg or less with BMI 30.0 or below. Weight is checked at the dropzone while wearing clothes and shoes.
  • Health Requirements: Guests with current or previous medical conditions may need a completed Declaration of Fitness. The operator advises against skydiving during pregnancy.
  • Before Your Jump: Avoid alcohol and drugs for at least 24 hours, and do not scuba dive within 24 hours before the skydive.
  • Duration & Reporting: Allow around 3 to 4 hours for the complete experience and report at the exact arrival time shown on your booking. Your booking time is part of the check-in process, not a guaranteed aircraft take-off time.
  • What to Wear: Choose comfortable athletic clothing and secure lace-up sports shoes suitable for the harness and landing procedures.
  • ID Requirement: Bring a valid government-issued photo ID and make sure your booking name matches your identification details.
  • Photos & Video: Media is package-dependent. Skydive Dubai currently offers options both with and without standard photos and edited video, so check your confirmed inclusion before booking.
  • Weather: Skydiving is highly weather dependent. Wind or other operational conditions can delay or reschedule the experience, so tourists should preferably book early in their Dubai trip to leave flexibility for another date.
  • Operating Days: The Palm Dropzone currently operates Thursday to Monday from 7:00 AM to 11:00 AM and is closed Tuesday and Wednesday. Always reconfirm your selected date before travelling.
