Highlights
  • iFLY Basingstoke Indoor Skydiving - 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

What's Included
  • Two flights per person simulating 3 skydives each
  • All necessary flight gear provided
  • All fees and taxes included
  • Please arrive 45 minutes before flight time
  • Professional instruction by certified instructors
  • Certificate of achievement awarded
Additional Information

Head to iFLY Basingstoke and experience the thrill of floating in an 800-HP vertical wind tunnel that mimics the conditions professional skydivers face, but without the need to leap from an airplane. Flying in the tunnel is a possibility for nearly everyone, irrespective of previous experience.

Inside the flight chamber, a tunnel operator will slowly ramp up the wind speed until you and your instructor are suspended in air. The thrill of hovering at wind speeds of 130-175 mph (209 to 282 kph) will give you an adrenaline high. A consistent flow of air from wall to wall prevents you from drifting off the air column, with a professional guide present at all times.

The whole indoor skydiving process takes roughly an hour and a half from beginning to end. Although every session can accommodate up to 13 people, you will have the opportunity to fly solo with your instructor not once, but twice - equating to the freefall duration of three tandem skydives!

To ensure our staff can accommodate your experience, it’s crucial to arrive at least 45 minutes before your designated flight time.

Fabulous! Very child focused ! - My grandaughter loved her first experience of IFly (8 years old) . We booked ‘the works’. Richard was the best instructor, and interacted with all of the children really well. He reassured my grandaughter and made the whole experience fabulous . My grandaughter came out of there buzzing wanting to do it all again .

Fantastic - Our two sons (8 and 9) were gifted two flights each as a birthday present from their grandfather. We weren't really sure what to expect, but they absolutely LOVED it. It was an amazing experience for them, and great for us too as we got to watch them from the viewing area which was really enjoyable. We were particularly impressed by the attentiveness of the staff -- especially their instructor Mark who had an enthusiasm and energy which was really infectious.

Great experience - A return visit for us as we had been before. Cannot fault the staff. Receptionists and instructors are so customer focused. All flyers loved the experience, instructors made sure we got great photos. We will be back again! Only one negative. When we visited last August it was an additional £10, to go higher for a few seconds. Now it’s £15. Appreciate that everything has gone up in recession….but a 50% rise? Shame…

Fantastic experience with great venue staff. - Went yesterday with my teen and we had a blast. Really great fun, yep we'd love it to be cheaper but can't imagine the costs to run a place like this. I get awful anxiety but the instructor, Dominic, was great. Reception staff were really nice too all round Nice atmosphere. Easy to book and flight instructions were easy to remember. Definitely worth going. Only downsides are being in a flight group with a rude woman who having done it all before clearly had no time for my anxiety, and the fact it's so far away from where i live so I can't go too regularly.

Great experience - Had a really great family day out at the Basingstoke I-Fly l, our guide was called Rich and he really made our experience a enjoyable one. Rich was great with our kids and us adults as it was a first for all of us. The experience was fun and exciting and I would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking of going for it.

Adrenaline Rush ! - Incredible experience. Instructors are in thr wind tunnel with you to guide you unless you are already an experienced participant. Very safe with them 'by your side' and my Instructor Mark was professional in his approach, friendly and listened to a couple of concerns I had and was reassuring.

Great experience, shame about the upsells. - Generally really good, staff were very good an engaging. My only gripe was the constant upselling which is difficult when you have children. I can only imagine the staff are financial benefits as this happened multiple times and spoiled an otherwise positive experience.
