    Absolute blast! My friend wanted to do something outside of her comfort zone for her 30th birthday, so she chose skydiving, and I told her I'd go with her. I didn't expect to have that much fun, but from start to finish, everything was just spot-on. The vibe was perfect, the staff were super friendly, and everything was really well-organized. My instructor, Taylor, was awesome - super chill and made the whole experience so much fun. We were cracking up the entire time. Huge shoutout to Taylor for making it all feel easy and just a good time from start to finish. Highly, recommend if you're looking to shake up your usual routine and do something different. I'll definitely be back!

    My amazing tandem jumper!

    If you're hesitant, don't be! This was everything! From start to finish the best and smoothest experience. The jumpers make you feel safe and secure and if you want to get a little more adrenaline rush, they let you do that too! This was one of the best experiences ever! Worth it! This place is amazing and the people who work there are awesome!

    Feeling like a paratrooper!

    My first ever tandem skydive! There is no doubt I will come back and do it again with these guys! I highly recommend them.

    I can see why this place has five star rating across the board. Professional, as well as attention to detail. Pretty cost-effective considering all the things that are included. My boys turned 18 this month, and all they wanted to do was skydive. Most of the states require that you are 18 years old in order to skydive. For many years, I took my kids to indoor skydiving so they would have The simulation with skydiving without the risk. After about 15 visits to Ifly, my kids turned 18, and now they wanted the real thing... Searching up skydiving, there are a few options. Truckee California, Sacramento, and this place. I made reservations and then called the guy directly. He let me know there were some discounts if I paid in cash. $240 with credit card, $220 cash. There's also the option of buying both pictures as well as a video of your adventures in skydiving. The price is not what I would consider consumer friendly, however if you want a video log of your dive, $70 is not horrible for just the video. Pictures and Video are $120. We had some car issues before heading out, I called the guy let him know. He was awesome about it. Told me not to worry about making it or being charged. He said just let him know about an hour before we're supposed to ride to see if we're going to make it. I called back after the car issue was fixed and he said he still had our spots open. We arrived to a hustling and bustling office where people were coming in and leaving. Kids had to watch a preflight video. They had to sign waivers also. After all of the administrative stuff, took the kids back match them up each with their own instructors and the instructors walk them through the sky dive suit, harness/brace and then off they went. My son was going up solo since his brother had his girlfriend, and somehow he talk to my wife into going up... Well I kind of helped to talk her into it lol. They have a landing zone, the gentleman designed to pick them up told me I could fall a mile and watch them land. The landing zone has a nice little lounge outdoor area with some couches and tables to picnic. Overall it was a great day to skydive. A little windy but that didn't effect the landing. Kids are already talking about going again.

    I made it! One of my bucket list checked On the plane I was excited and eager to get off, but as soon as the door opened, it's got my heart racing 3,2,1 JUMP! At that moment I felt like I conquered the world.. The wind pressure was kinda strong that hurt my throat at the very beginning it's still Amazing.. Special thanks to my instructor "BATMAN" he's so awesome..

    Ready to go

    True Professional's all around! They had all the T's crossed and i's dotted! Each person was courteous, professional, well mannered, and performed flawlessly as a team. I really can't say enough. It was me and my 2 daughters ages 19 and 20. Our instructors were Joey and Batman or Bruce Wayne: great teachers, funny, relaxed, and dead serious at the same time. A rare combination and find! Thanks again for the memories! Todd,Kaylie, and Ligia

    The dive was just WOW. It was beautiful back drop, clear skies and breathtaking scenery. Once the parachute was deployed, I was given the opportunity to spin and have a bit of fun, it was so surreal and energetic it was perfect, the landing was textbook. Memo was an awesome instructor.

    Beautiful view if you aren't screaming your A off

    When there's a global pandemic, what do you do? Go thousands of feet up & fall outta the sky Best pick for my first jump!! Decided to do something for my birthday & made a lucky pick w/ Skydive Lake Tahoe. I went back in July & everyone was following Covid safety precautions. They provided my dad & I with a better suited mask. Joey was my instructor & I couldn't have had a better person for my bday skydive awesome, funny guy & made me feel safe the entire time. Every employee there was friendly. I sound dramatic but everything & everyone there were just really cool. Thank you for the best birthday experience I've had so far. Def planning to go back next spring. If you're thinking of planning your first tandem skydive, this is it.

    Joe was amazing!
    Marianne D.

    This was a bucket list item of mine and Skydive Lake Tahoe made it an amazing experience. The entire staff was very nice and helpful, but Joe made it over the top! He lightened me up and made me feel comfortable when it was time to exit the plane. I'm so glad I did it, and I would definitely recommend him as an instructor!

    Decided to skydive for my 40th birthday. The entire staff was so warm and inviting. Felt more and adventure with friends I've known forever. Joey and Sara made the adventure more enjoyable with they're amazing attitudes. Dave was really nice in the phone and once we were in the office. Can't wait to go back and jump again!!!!! Thanks for a great birthday adventure!!!!

    And we did it!!!

    Overall, we had a great time! My son and I bonded by jumping out of a plane. The instructors were…read morevery polite and no-pressure, the experience was thrilling, and we were safe, so five stars. I wish they sold t-shirts! I do recommend it. But here are some caveats to consider before you go: 1. The liability waiver is nuts. There's no insurance and you cannot sue. If you do sue, then you have to pay THEIR legal fees. Wowza. Fortunately the instructors have thousands of jumps of experience each. They're very confident and have never had a fatality. 2. No bathrooms, just a porto potty. 3. The plane is tiny...think of a flying tunafish can. Two jumpers per flight only. (Plus a pilot and the tandem instructors.) 4. This place is in Minden. You DO gets views of Lake Tahoe from the plane, but you're mostly looking at mountains and valleys (beautiful) while decending. 5. Because Minden is at 4,700 feet (and your jump is from 12,000 or 14,000), it's a shorter freefall than starting a sea level. Also, the landing is faster because you're landing in thinner air then if you were lower. This was noticeable compared with the jump I did a long time ago from a spot that's near sea level. 6. The video/photo package is worth it. The pics are so/so because they're from a GoPro and distort images, but the video is an incredible memory! Again, it was a great 5 star experience, but it's important to have an accurate view of what to expect.

    Sometimes you have an experience that you know will stick with you for the rest of your life. This…read morewas one of those times. We did a two day south fork trip, with a stop for the night on the river bank. Our guide Cryin' Bryan(just kidding Brian!!) and bonus gear guy Gator, were absolutely amazing. The were kind, helpful, had the best stories and cooked the best food. We did 21 miles of river over two days and it was unbelievable. Things we learned on this trip... -Gator taught me how to make a camping mocha(more like chocolate coffee when I made it!) with instant cocoa mix, coffee, creamer and water. -A tortilla wrap with PB&J and trail mix is the thing of dreams. -The front right seat of the raft is the 'hot' seat(or wet seat) and you will get hammered repeatedly. Haha. -Camping on the side of the river is magic. Pure. Magic. -Hospital bar has its name for a reason. -Composting toilets in the woods smell like a gerbil cage. -Brian's love of Star Wars and pineapple fried rice lead me to believe we could be real life friends. -You can make lifelong friends out of strangers you meet on a rafting trip. The meals they provided were amazing. Well beyond normal camping fare. For sure a perk with the trip. With things like chicken salad pitas, pancakes, sandwich wraps and fajitas, we were never hungry. We upgraded to the canvas tent they have at the campground for the first night and it was wonderful. The little front porch and getting to hear the river while we slept was magic. The newly upgraded bathrooms were probably the nicest I've seen at a rustic camp ground. The shower stalls are outside, but each one has a locking door with the shower stall and a little changing area with hooks and a bench(and the rain shower heads were great, but know the water pressure isn't the hardest, but not the worst either). When the 'Boss Man' picked us up from the river on the last day, it was really neat to get to chat with him. He asked for anything we think would add to the trip, and the only thing we can think of would be to bring along a yard game for the overnight trips, like ladder-ball or something for on the river. But there is absolutely nothing we would change. Enjoy my million pictures. I really couldn't pick and choose what to show, so I showed it all! We can't wait to go back!!

There were…read morechill about people being late: I think they might leave a buffer because people are always a bit late. I really appreciated they had a page linked after you book of all the things to know before the trip. Getting ready was smooth, and the guide was helpful on the way with paddling instructions and questions. We dropped into the water at two points and also got to switch seats so everyone tried being at the front. The water is extremely cold. There are two photo spots where they took pictures you can purchase. Lastly the bus to get back went great, but they kind of left us alone right after we got back to camp, even though we had some questions and were going to leave a tip (we left our wallets in the cars).

This just goes to show you how important a seasoned veteran rafting guide is Juli was amazing. He gave clear instructions, he was very calm, and he managed the raft like a pro. No no flipping over and no one fell out. So exciting! Now I want to go to Costa Rica and look up Whitewater excitement there and request Juli. Hope to do this at least one more time this year. If I lived closer, I would go more often. Ps- I read some people complaining that you have to pitch in to carry the raft from the water up to the trucks and from the trucks down to the water, I've only been with one company that did not ask you to do that. All the rest have always had the rafters help out in pitch-in.
