Incredible, unique and beautiful landscape - it was so impressive and emotional! Wow, wow, wow ... . Predestinated for the first Jump Experience and of course for everyone who does appreciate an amazing place on earth. It's hard to find the right words ... . The idea of the jump began with a voucher for the 30st birthday of Adrian.... More

If you are planning in staying in this region then I would highly recommend taking part is this fabulous sport. It isn't as expensive as... More

Had a great tandem jump and felt very looked after by Norbert, Bruno and Daniel. They had a good level of humour but made me feel safe through their confidence and clear knowledge of what they were doing. They could not do enough to help and the on site café / bar was a good place for non jumpers to... More

My husband is a sky diver and we came to Alvor just to go to Skydive Algarve. Everyone was super friendly. I'm not a sky diver, but I enjoyed getting to know the owners of the dropzone!

We came here for a quiet afternoon. Watch or take part if you dare ! Great cafe with views of the landing strip. Spectating free. Watch the coloured chutes gliding noselessly through the air.

We both got our jump filmed and photos taken, can't stop watching the film and wishing i was back there! The views were incredible, and the great staff... More

I got convinced to do a skydive after hearing my friends experiences. Myself and three friends booked in to do it the next day. We were all terrified heading to the aerodrome but once you get there you are completely at ease. We lay around on bean bags watching others come in from their jump and saw their reactions and...

I didn't have the courage to try it myself but several of my visitors have been up and some went more than once. They all came back enthralled by the experience and listed the day as the highlight of their holiday
