Sydney Skydiving Deals & Experiences

Skydiving doesn't have to mean waiting until the kids turn 16, iFLY Indoor Skydiving in Penrith gets the whole family floating on a cushion of air from age 3, no plane or parachute required. And when the older members of the crew are ready for the real deal, a tandem skydive over Wollongong's coastline is just an hour from Sydney. Here's how to plan a skydiving day that works for everyone.

iFLY Indoor Skydiving Sydney
