Skydive Hawaii - Waialua, Hawaii

Starting with Hawaii, our only archipelago state, this gorgeous series of islands provides a dropzone with spectacular views and is unrivaled for many regular skydivers. You can leap from smaller heights of 12,000 to 14,000 feet or go all out and dive from a dizzying height of 20,000 feet. You will experience 100 seconds of free-fall as you descend from high altitude with your parachute unfurling at a low opening altitude on such a HALO jump. This is not for the faint of heart!

If you're doing a tandem jump with an instructor, you'll probably hit 120 mph when you crash to the ground. If you're lucky enough to have the opportunity and certification to dive alone, you can dive head-down to reduce drag and reach speeds of 180 mph!

You'll be able to get views of Oahu, Hawaii's third-largest and most populous island, from these heights. Kaena Point's lava shoreline is to the northwest, while Pearl Harbor is to the southeast. Honolulu, the state capital, is located further southeast. Seeing the many settings of verdant mountains, beaches, jungles, ocean blues, and towns is a unique experience.
