These Are the Best Skydiving Locations in the World

If you’re a nature lover and thrill-seeker, then you’ve probably already added skydiving to your bucket list. Maybe you have already tried it, but how much thought have you given to the location? Whether you’re looking for a place to pop your skydiving cherry or are simply interested in taking your next time around somewhere spectacular, you need to find that perfect location before you take the plunge. Here are the most loved skydiving sites in the world.

The Himalayas

Yep, the Everest is not just for mountain climbers. It’s for skydivers too. Known as the highest place on Earth, it’s no wonder that many adventure seekers fly over Mount Everest to drop down onto its snow-covered mountainside. The Himalayas in Nepal offer a breathtaking view for any skydiver and a jump unmatched in the world.

Interlaken

Switzerland has long been known as a hotspot for adventure sports and Interlaken has continued to rank high for many skydivers as one of the most picturesque drop spots in Europe. Offering views of Germany, France, Austria, and Italy.

Franz Josef Glacier

Franz Josef Glacier in New Zealand offers a beautiful drop across an eight-mile-long glacier in the remote Westland National Park of Tai Poutini. While you free fall, you have time to absorb the views of the Tasman Sea coastline.

Waialua

Waialua is arguably the best place to skydive in Hawaii, and for good reason. From beautifully colored beaches to amazing volcanos, there is much to see from 8,000 feet in the air. Hawaii’s jumps are sure to stay emblazoned in your memory for many years to come.

Palm Jumeirah

A relatively new entry to the leading drop zones of the world, Dubai now has something thoroughly unique to offer adventure seekers. The Emirates Aerosport Federation hosts one of the biggest annual international skydive championships in its own artificially made archipelago, the Palm Jumeirah.
