Oceanside Indoor Skydiving: Thrilling Wind Tunnel Experience

Experience the thrill of skydiving without leaving the ground at iFLY Oceanside near Carlsbad. Feel the rush of free-fall conditions in a state-of-the-art wind tunnel. No experience needed!

Duration: 1 hour, 15 minutes
Highlights
  • 3178 Vista Way - Arrive at iFLY Oceanside, and get started by putting on your gear and going through a specialized training session from an expert flight instructor.

You’ll learn how to 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 you’re inside the enclosed space of 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 75 minutes from start to finish. Each session includes up to six people, but you fly one-on-one with your instructor for 60 seconds in the wind tunnel twice.

  • Personalized instruction from certified flight instructors
  • Access to all necessary gear included

Awesome day! - The smiles on the faces of my wife, son and grandson made this so worthwhile. The young lady who checked us in and out was very friendly. Our instructor was no less than great.

Fantastic & fun flying experience! - It was our first time indoor skydiving with iFly and it was a memorable and exciting experience! All of the staff members are so friendly, talented and knowledgeable. They informed us of everything we needed to know and helped us have the best experience possible. It was a fantastic time and I’d definitely do this and highly recommend doing this with friends or family again!

Awesome Experience - We visited this place on our vacation in Oceanside and my 15 year old had a blast. The staff is super friendly and helpful. We ended up buying a return ride pass that does not expire for half price and cannot wait to come back! Great experience. We have video and photos that captured the experience as well.

Great Birthday Gift for My Husband - My husband wanted to do this for his birthday, so I purchased flights for him and a couple of his buddies. They had a great time! We ended up paying an additional $20 so they could fly higher (to the top of the tunnel). I would recommend that, the "regular" flight is only 3-5ft in the air. All in all a blast for the guys.

Very difficult! - It was great to watch the Navy Seals train. I knew it wasn’t going to be easy but I thought I would have been able to fly without assistance. Hopefully I will get it down next time.

Fun - Fun but over priced for the amount of time you actually are doing the skydiving. Good for a one time experience.
