Description

Specialties

We specialize in tandem skydiving… As a first time skydiver, you will be securely attached to your instructor so you can «just» kick back and enjoy the ride on a tandem skydive. The climb to altitude is a fun and personal way to see this area. Our views are more than spectacular, the history is amazing just ask our knowledgeable staff. Once we reach our designated height it’s time for flight. Take a deep breath, look around, and learn why we DO jump from perfectly good airplanes! You will experience the rush and the adrenaline that only freefall can give you! After your instructor deploys the parachute, smile for the camera, and enjoy your glide back to Earth under canopy together. Let your instructor know if you want to fly fast or slow, we’ll customize your jump just for you!

These guys are great! Not enough good things to say about them. We did the winery jump and it was amazing. I planned on proposing to my fiancée when we landed and they went out of their way to accommodate. I would fly with these guys anytime! Thank you guys so much for the wonderful experience.

This place is excellent! Everyone on staff was super helpful from the moment we called and reserved our jumps until we were saying farewell.
The scenery in Chelan is stunning. If you live nearby or are just driving through like I was, you should definitely stop by Skydive Chelan and have a moment you will never forget!

Camano Island, WA
It was amazing. The staff was great, they were nice and made us feel comfortable. We had a great time. The instructors were amazing and talkative and polite as well.
The user complaining about not being able to go due to weather I think is ridiculous.
This was my first jump and I even researched enough to know to call about weather, and no I don’t think they are as worried about me jumping, and taking my money, as they are my safety. I’m glad I felt like they were more worried about my safety, than taking my money,

I’ve skydived about 6 times altogether and this experience was the best one yet. Todd and Sonja were amazingly helpful. I proposed to my girlfriend after the jump and they setup a table with wine and goodies right out on the airport field for us as soon as we landed. I felt safe at all times and they made the experience all the more special with their friendly personalities. My instructor, Howie, was funny, informative and got us home safely. Thank you for the experience of a lifetime!

Let’s get this out of the way, Chelan is super pretty! Skydiving is amazing! Therefore, skydiving at Chelan gets you breathtaking views of Lake Chelan, the Columbia River, and mountains so close you feel like you could reach out and touch them. The staff is super knowledgeable and friendly and truly love what they do. And after you make that jump be sure to spend some time exploring the town just a few minutes away — so many great places to check out!

Fun times… Todd and Sonya hosted a special wingsuit & helicopter jump weekend the first weekend in May. Lots of fun and everything ran smoothly. You gotta check out this place if you skydive or are looking to learn. Todd is very safe and it shows and you’ll be in good hands.

I have been skydiving for over 12 years, and have jumped all around the country at a lot of drop zones, for me it is not about the numbers anymore, it is about the people. The owners, Todd & Sonya, are very welcoming to both new tandem jumpers, and experienced skydivers. If you are thinking about doing a first time tandem, and are in the Chelan area, you cannot pass up Skydive Chelan. Excellent facilities, top notch gear, wineries, and delicious local grub within a few minutes of the drop zone, and the views from altitude, you couldn’t ask for more! Don’t pass this up if making a tandem skydive is on your bucket list, or you are an experienced skydiver that is in the area. Skydive Chelan is the total package!

My friends and I went out to Chelan last weekend. After relaxing lakeside and enjoying the bounty of flavors offered by the local wineries we decided we needed something a little more adventurous than the typical obligatory cliché Chelan wine/​cigar/​hot tub/​g-​string/​hot wax/​experience, so the next day (after a massive hangover) we opened up the lake Chelan visitors guide and saw the raddest advertisement for skydiving! So I drove 10 minutes from Chelan downtown (Woodin ave) to the local airport and was highly anxious but super stoked to see a bunch of parachutes already landing, there were a few ordinary slow ones landing but all of a sudden I heard an ear splitting roar as this total badass dropped out of the sky. He landed like superman. I think his name started with G or something.
Anyway on a serious note Sonya, Todd, Emily, Zack and the pilots run a tight ship and although the dropzone is new, they have tons of experience in the industry. The experience was definitely awesome and safe. The views were beautiful and they were all amped to introduce us to skydiving. I definitely would recommend it for the views alone.
The aircraft was cool and modern and the instruction was very professional and to the point. They are super flexible and can really work with you on scheduling. (they do walk ons too). The view at 10k over Chelan is awesome and jumping from a plane is really a awesome feeling! Great place and good people. Kudos to Skydive Chelan!
