Are you looking for a thrilling, once-in-a-lifetime experience on your next vacation to the New Jersey shore? What better way to make a unique getaway memory than to skydive at the New Jersey shore? This activity is definitely a good option for people who enjoy intense rides, action, and don’t mind the feeling of falling.
Depending on whether you jump alone (for experienced jumpers) or tandem with an instructor (which allows you to avoid a lot of training and get to the jump faster), you may fall toward the NJ shoreline at speeds up to 90 to 110 miles per hour after jumping out of a plane that is about two miles above the ground. Obviously, once your parachute opens, your fall rate slows down significantly allowing you to enjoy the view high above the New Jersey shore and have a safe landing.
Before we go much further in this post, you will want to note that this NJ activity is not for kids. You must be at least 18 years old to skydive with most companies in New Jersey. So if you have kids in tow, you may want to seek out other NJ attractions for your group or allow the kids to watch from down below, with one of the adults from your party. Or if you are staying nearby in an RV rental in NJ, then perhaps it would be a good day for them to remain at the campsite with an adult.
Skydiving at the New Jersey shore typically costs between $200 and $215 for a tandem ride (where you are hooked on to an instructor). Rates vary based on whether you are jumping on the weekend or weekday; plus, some skydiving companies lower their rates if you pay in cash. Be sure to ask about this and any other discounts they might provide.
You may also want to take your skydiving experience home with you by purchasing a DVD of your jump. Most companies offer this feature, for a price of course. Also, be sure to call or go online to book your skydiving experience in advance, and when you do, be sure to ask any questions you might have about this New Jersey activity, including their bad weather policies.
You may not travel to NJ only to skydive, but also plan to stay at a state park in your camper rental in NJ or stay at the beach. No matter where you plan to spend most of your New Jersey vacation, you should look into skydiving at the New Jersey shore for a one-day adventure you will remember for a lifetime. Not many experiences can match the heart-pounding thrill of falling thousands of feet in the air above the New Jersey shore.
