Basingstoke iFLY Indoor Skydiving Experience - 2 Flights & Certificate
Overview
Available languages
1 hour 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
Arrive at iFLY Basingstoke and safely float in an 800-horsepower vertical wind tunnel that generates a wall-to-wall cushion of air commonly used by professional skydivers without having to jump from a plane. Just about anyone can fly and no experience is necessary.
Once inside the flight chamber, a tunnel operator slowly increases the wind speed until you and your instructor are airborne. Feel the adrenaline rush as you float at wind speeds reaching 130 to 175 mph (209 to 282 kph). The stable wall-to-wall airflow keeps you from falling off the column of air and your instructor is on hand at all times to guide you.
The entire indoor skydiving experience takes about 90 minutes from start to finish. Each session includes up to 13 people, but you fly one-on-one with your instructor twice - the same freefall time as three tandem skydives!
To ensure our team are able to fly you, it's vital you arrive at the venue no less than 45minutes before your booked flight time.

What To Expect
Feel the thrill of skydiving without jumping out of an airplane. It's true! Head to iFLY Basingstoke, a premier indoor skydiving facility powered by a state-of-the-art vertical wind tunnel, where you'll experience free-fall conditions with the help of an instructor. You may fly if you: - Weigh less than 18 stone and 7 pounds / 117kg (contact iFLY directly if you weigh more than this) - Are not pregnant - Have not previously dislocated your shoulder - Are not under the influence of alcohol or non-prescribed drugs - Are not wearing a hard cast. It is vital that you arrive for check-in at least 45mins prior to your booked flight time. So, if you're booked flight time is 3pm, you should arrive no later than 2.15pm. This is so that we can get you geared up, ready for your flight time. iFLY operates a manifest in the same way you would expect an airline to work; it is therefore advised you arrive early, leaving plenty of time for any unexpected delays. Experience is suitable for ages 3 and above

5.00Arrived very early but no problem, my time was rearranged without any fuss by the very pleasant and friendly young lady at the desk. Discovered that it was a one to one trip and the young man was very pleasant and chatty. He explained what would happen and checked I had remembered the signs then kitted me out. Went into the chamber had my first flight great fun. Second flight I had booked to fly high absolutely brilliant!!!!!!!.
A fun treat for the family!

5.00Our family had a fantastic experience today with Jordan at iFLY Basingstoke. We booked 4x two-flight sessions and 2x video packages using Tesco vouchers (so free!). The whole experience was amazing, and my children enjoyed themselves so much that we decided to pay for an extra flight at £20 each. It was absolutely worth it, especially having not paid anything initially, as they were more relaxed and really got the most out of their flights. We have already booked to return in March, taking advantage of their special return offer of £119.99 for 10 flights, which can be shared between up to 5 people. This is such a brilliant deal, and since I knew the girls would want to come back, it made perfect sense to purchase it on the day. The viewing gallery is great too, you get to see everyone fly right in front of you, and the instructors add to the fun by being quite comical (as are some of the flyers!). It is also very accessible for spectators to take their own photos and videos, which I think can actually be better quality than the purchased ones. Our flight time was at 11:30 and we were finished by 12:15, so if you are travelling from further away it might be a good idea to combine it with another activity in the leisure complex. There looks to be a swimming pool, bowling, ice skating, and a cinema all nearby, so we plan to make more of a day of it next time. Thank you for such a brilliant day - I have never seen so many smiles before (or was it wind face?).
Amazing, thankyou rich!

2.00Odd one this. And yes, it should be a spectacular experience, instead it's a well oiled sales machine. The 2 x 1mins you spend in the tunnel is fine but before you go in you are pitched a £20 added fee for what they call a high ride, which is the instructor taking you or your child higher up the wall for about 10 seconds. If your child doesn't want that then it's 2 x twirls in the tunnel with a quick hold for you to take a snap and then back to the bench. If you don't buy the virtual reality package or other extras you are bypassed and simply spend 10mins watching the others. Pretty dull for youngsters. Added in conversations and placed on the wall are various options to buy more things and at the end there is a pitch on coming back, vouchers and recommending to others. The instructor went through the motions but perked up when they demonstrated their acrobats in the tunnel. By far the longest anyone spent in it! Finally our time slot was listed and we were asked to arrive 45 mins before for preparation. In actuality the whole experince took 50mins. We walked out the building 5 mins after our alloted time slot was listed. Rushed through it seems. The next group already in the tunnel as we walkd out the derig room. So, what is this, ifly is billed as a spectacular experience. It offers something unique but the experience could be so very much more, maybe they could give some background, offer some dky diving tips, present some excitment, give it a dynamic. if a child isnt hugely able or struggles to lie flat given them more support, management. Here it was driven by just getting things done and as quickly as possible. £50 spent in less than a few mins in the tunnel and just about an hour in the building! It is what it is but ultimately its not really very much. Plan something else to do around it. And take your fat wallet!

5.00Did the experience with my son Oscar for his 8th birthday. I was a little bit nervous at first but I absolutely loved it. Our instructor was Dominic. He is pleasant, friendly, patient and very considerate. I was watching how he interacted with the kids and their parents. He made sure he did everything to keep his customers happy. He made me feel really comfortable. He is a really cool guy. 😁😁 I would be going there again and will recommend to friends and family☺️. Thank you Dom.
Wow!

5.00My children 11 and 9 really enjoyed this activity and it was fun as a spectator too. Just to address points from other reviews if anyone is concerned, firstly flight length is only 60 seconds but this felt about right and the children certainly didn’t complain. Secondly the upselling, yes this is done during the briefing but it is clear it is optional and the cost. There is also a sign in the viewing area clearly outlining the prices so you can see this before the briefing. Just say no if you don’t want it, there is no hard sell and we thought it would be good to save the extras for our next trip. Spectators can video/photo throughout the flight which looks great.Also the instructor does a brilliant display at the end (assume this is time permitting) but was a highlight!
Terrible - do not waste your money

1.00Awful. My 11 year old daughter got a voucher for 4 flights, certificate, photos & videos included. Actual experience was good but “congratulations” email had no certificate and a download link that did not work. Next day I received a link to the photos & videos which only had paid options. Emailed customer service. No reply. Emailed again with a response promising to issue certificate. Emailed again asking for a link to download photos and videos without having to pay as per the voucher. That was 2 weeks ago. No response since. Utter disgrace.
