My experience... I was suppose to jump in 2024 but found out I was pregnant. My jump was then put on hold for 2025. That process was smooth and the service provided to handle the solution was great. Now that 2025 had arrived I was scheduled to jump September 19 at 6. Got there and everything was pretty straight forward. A tad bit of a wait but I didn't mind. Then we got set up and ready to go. My instructor was Jesse. I went along with two other fellas. one being an instructor and the other a student. All these guys were great. They were encouraging and kept me calm by their demeanour. Jesse never played into my fears and was making jokes in the plane (which helped). When it was time to jump Jesse just launched out. It happened so fast. And honestly I'm happy he did it that way. The experience of skydiving .. there are no words. It was amazing. Jesse was awesome and was a natural. Because of him and the guys there I will absolutely be booking a second jump. Thank you so much for the best experience of a life time. P.S: the skydive was so amazing I set up a Yelp account to give them a review because of how crazy amazing that whole thing was. Book with them and get ready for an epic ride ! read more
The staff here are genuinely great at what they do. They give you a thorough run down on what to expect, have great HR, and make sure you have an incredible time you'll hold onto long after a very safe landing. This is Definitely something everyone should do at least once, and I couldn't think of anyone more fit to go with than this team right here. Go jump out of a plane with them and see for yourself! read more
One trip to ESC can change your life forever! This is THE place to learn how to skydive in all of Canada!! Learn to jump solo... belly flying... tracking in groups... freeflying... wingsuiting!! Within a few months of my first tandem, I was talking training courses with world champion instructors. So many great tandem masters, wise instructors, and freaky coaches!! ... so many fun jumpers too! I even learned to confidently pack my own chute... with much help from the Parafunalia rigging crew! You'll never forget your first time! New friends and friends forever!! read more

When you decide to jump out of a plane, Edmonton Skydive is the right place to be! Came here in October 2017, was gifted the skydive by my sister and accompanied by my mom. They take bookings from April-October, we had booked an early date, but had to reschedule due to snow. They were very accommodating at helping us find a time that worked for both of us. They informed us ahead of time that they would call us on the day of to confirm our jump, as we had almost a 2 hour drive to get there. We were lucky enough to be able to jump on a gorgeous fall day, just as all the trees had turned to all their autumn glory. When we arrived we were both eager and understandably nervous, this was each of our first experience skydiving. The third person meant to jump with us had rescheduled, so it was only the two of us! There are a couple waivers to be signed initially and you have the option to purchase video footage or pictures of your jump (we chose not to) for $95 each or both for $120. There are several options available, tandem jumps for beginners, flight school for individuals interested in jumping solo in the future, and solo jumps for this already qualified. The tandem jumps are perfect when you're looking to try skydiving. Edmonton skydive gave us an incredible experience, a once in a lifetime event for my mom and something I'm eager to try again in the future. There's a short training video to watch first and the rest of the instruction comes from the professional instructor. It was the perfect way to learn. We were given simple to the point instructions and encouraged to enjoy ourselves. Safety was clearly a priority, but we weren't overwhelmed with information. The whole process went very fast and before we knew it we were in the plane on our way up! Edmonton skydive jumps from 14 000 feet the highest in Western Canada! Time disappeared as soon as we jumped. The instructor controlled our parachutes and in time they prepared us to land. The experience was really indescribable! As soon as we made it to the ground I was ready to go again! I can't recommend Edmonton Skydive enough for anyone looking for an amazing skydiving experience. I really believe it is a must do in everyone's lifetime! read more

Hi Neve!…
I haven't been to this place in a few years, but back in 2008-2011, I did about half a dozen jumps. Really recommend checking the weather forecast before booking, because there were a couple times I drove all the way out and then had to go home when the cloudy/windy conditions wouldn't clear up. Love the staff! So friendly and helpful. I did the solo jumps, and found the 4 hour training program really good and informative. The instructors did an awesome job, and by the time I had to exit the plane (although I was TERRIFIED) I felt comfortable enough to do it. You get fitted with a jumpsuit, helmet, and parachute (or a person wearing a parachute if you're doing tandem). Make sure you wear comfy clothes and shoes. There was a food truck on site with some snacks and drinks, and decent outhouses. I know in the recent years Edmonton Skydive has gotten many upgrades. The very last time I was there, they were starting to use their new plane and larger facilities. Bottom line is I am definitely going to return as soon as I get the chance!!! I'll update my review when I do. read more

I came across Edmonton Skydive when I bought a Groupon for my boyfriend and I to do tandem jumps for Christmas. The booking process was fairly simple and straight forward which was nice as trying to redeem popular Groupons can be painful. The day we were scheduled to jump was forecasting thunderstorms so we were nervous about driving the hour outside of town in the event that we would not be able to jump but we were informed that we could not reschedule without coming out to the jump site first. Although I understand that their business is weather dependent and this policy is a way of them protecting themselves from substantial loss I felt that this should have been stated somewhere on their website or mentioned at the time of booking. Fortunately there were gaps in the weather and we arrived just in time for the sun to come out and the wind to die down. We were given a pair of protective pants to wear as only their students get to use the jump suits so I would recommend wearing a long sleeve shirt. You are given a basic run down of the process and what to expect when you exit the plane. They also make you watch a video right after registration that outlines the experience. The tandem instructors we were assigned put us immediately at ease and made the entire process very enjoyable. I mentioned that I had a bit of anxiety and my instructor Joey made every effort to elevate any fears I had. The pictures and videos were a great memento of the occasion and I highly recommend getting them. They are taken on go pro cameras and are great quality so I am looking forward to getting prints made. We both are very excited to jump again and will definitely consider Edmonton Skydive when we do. read more

Skydiving was certainly a life changing experience. As a first time jumper, I felt way more comfortable because of the professionalism shown by all the staff here. I had the time of my life and my tandem jump partner seemed to enjoy every minute of it too. Would highly recommend! read more

It's hard to write a review about a business, when it doesn't feel like a business at all...Edmonton Skydive for me has become a home away from home. It is a place where I found not only the excitement and challenge that I was looking for, but also found a wealth of knowledge, passion, love and energy surrounding skydiving. It doesn't matter if you are going to the Dropzone for a Tandem Skydive or if you are going because you have decided you want to be a Solo Skydiver...... you will LOVE every minute of it and will quickly feel and appreciate the sense of community and encouragement they offer to everyone. I have been lucky enough to skydive at other Dropzones in the area, and trust me you won't learn as much or have as much fun learning anywhere else like you will at Edmonton Skydive..... they really do have the best of the best. Edmonton Skydive is home to not ONE but TWO Canadian National Team members, not to mention both of the Owner's AND other staff members have all competed at the competitive level....these are literally the people teaching you how to skydive......you tell me where else you get that kind of access to that level of talent?! Acknowledging that skydiving does have certain safety risks, every precaution is taken and there is a substantial amount of information and training provided and delivered in a very user friendly manner prior to doing any actual activities....but then it's game on! There are just too many good things for me to even say about Edmonton Skydive.....besides it's the best Dropzone in the area....BAR-NONE! They also have the fastest Skydiving plane in Canada (no big deal) I think you will just have to come out and see for yourself....in all honesty....and I would make it sooner rather than later! read more

I did my first tandem skydive with Edmonton Skydive about 3-4 years ago! What an incredible experience it was! The staff was super friendly, and I felt comfortable the entire time! My tandem instructor talked me through every aspect, and coupled with the on ground training I felt very prepared for my experience! A couple years later I did another tandem and it solidified my appreciation for the sport! Last summer I took the step and enrolled in the AFF course! My instructors throughout my progression were fantastic. Each step included a very thorough briefing and debriefing on the jump. The instructors are patient, down to earth, friendly, FUN!!! and very very knowledgable! If jumping out of airplanes is something you are interested in, choose Edmonton Skydive as the facility to help you take the plunge! You wont regret it! read more

Did 2 jumps last year with the Edmonton Skydive guys. One Tandem, and then I started my AFF Course. Hands down the most fun I've ever had, and when reading about them on other forums I can say that I'm very happy I decided to check them out. The facilities are so crazy, not what you'd expect to see from TV. The owner chatted with me for a bit about AFF which I ended up signing up for. Spring can't come quick enough! I 100% recommend going for a Tandem Skydive with these guys this summer, and then Accellerated Free Fall (AFF) if your up for going by your self like I did next The equipment looked brand new, the people where excited to jump with me, and I have had a new perspective on the sky, and skydiving ever since.. read more

Edmonton skydive is an amazing place to get your adrenalin fix! I first visited this location two years ago and I can't get enough! The staff is amazing. They are encouraging and helpful whether you want to go on one tandem jump or are thinking of a future in skydiving. The management team is organized and efficient. And all the other people that hang around and jump are so friendly. You immediately feel like you've been included in a community. I highly recommend visiting Edmonton skydive and at least doing one tandem jump, you will not regret it! read more

Took my dive with Charlie. He was great. The whole process was great. I appreciated how they talked me through everything they were doing so I felt safe and secure the whole time. The jump is also the highest in Canada which is pretty rad! Had a great experience and plan to come back! Also they do a really great job of utilizing the GoPro if you pay for pictures and video footage :) read more
