Everyone was super pleasant and even though I was terrified and screamed in Brad’s ear he didn’t drop me! We had an amazing experience for my birthday, thank you!

Amazing! My son was soooooo happy. Only suggestion that I have about high fly, you should explain how low you will fly without that option 😂. This suggestion didn’t lower my review because it was really amazing! Thanks!

iFLY is a Great experience!! Everyone should consider trying it at least twice (The first time you'll learn how to control your movements but from there it just continues to get BETTER!!!)

We just went for the second time and had an amazing experience! Our instructor, Anthony Harting, was great! He made the experience very fun and he was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend asking for Anthony!

It's not cheap $... It will be over $100 for 2 adults..(which is what I paid), Im sure you can find better details on the website or if you call. The prices will differ depending on how many people and how long you want to fly and if you want pictures/video...BUT... It is soooo worth it! So much fun! You will not regret it! And you have options to do the basic flight and to add extra time! Instructors are friendly and professional! Great for kids and adults!

How is the class?

James Vasquez | Sep 12, 2017
Jim Jamieson | Sep 12, 2017

The class group is small, only 10 participants. It is a very straight forward video, about 4 minutes in length. It is more than sufficient as you are always literally in good hands with the instructor 1:1 in the fly tunnel.

What is indoor skydiving?

Competitive indoor skydiving, also known as Bodyflight, shares many of the disciplines of competitive skydiving, such as formation skydiving and freestyle skydiving. Generally, athletes compete to successfully complete a certain number of maneuvers in an allotted amount of time. Athletes can compete as teams, working to complete maneuvers and grips, or as individuals. Each performance is recorded and judged by a panel of experts. If you’re interested, our instructors can help you improve your flying skills and take you to the next level of indoor skydiving.

What is a wind tunnel?

iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Tampa | Sep 11, 2021
iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Tampa | Sep 11, 2021

iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Tampa | Sep 11, 2021
iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Tampa | Sep 11, 2021

Our primary concern is for your safety in the flight chamber so the tricks or flips are done by experienced flyers only. Some flyers are able to do turns, move up and down, and forward and backward during their first flight. Be sure to ask your instructor how to advance your flight skills.

Why do I need to wear a flight suit?

Please wear well-fitting, lace-up sneakers, or running shoes. Other shoes are not suitable. Wear casual clothes, preferably pants and a shirt without a collar. You won’t have to change out of these clothes—you'll put your flight suit on over your street clothes. Individuals with long hair should wear it braided and in a low bun.

To streamline your check in, complete your Flight Waiver online prior to arrival.

Do I have to do the training session?

iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Tampa | Sep 11, 2021
iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Tampa | Sep 11, 2021

All first-time flyers are required to take the training class. You’ll get a lot of important and helpful information as well as some pre-flight practice of your flying position.

iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Tampa | Sep 11, 2021
iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Tampa | Sep 11, 2021

How old do you have to be for iFLY indoor skydiving?

iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Tampa | Sep 11, 2021

How long is a flight?

iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Tampa | Sep 11, 2021
iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Tampa | Sep 11, 2021

Each flight within the wind tunnel lasts 60 seconds and each package includes a minimum of two 60-second flights (turns in the tunnel). However, total flight length depends on the package that you choose. When jumping out of an airplane, the free fall portion lasts approx. 45 seconds. If you reserve a package that contains 4 flights, you will have 4 turns in the wind tunnel with an instructor lasting 60 seconds each. Some of our packages include double-length flights which lasts double the time at a reduced cost. The entire iFLY first-time flyer experience takes approx. 1 hour and 45 minutes from start to finish.

Is it hard to breathe in the wind tunnel?

iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Tampa | Sep 11, 2021
iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Tampa | Sep 11, 2021

Not at all! It is the same as if you stick your head out a car window while driving. All you feel is the wind in your face. Just breathe normally, either through your mouth or your nose.

How long should I plan to be at iFLY?

iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Tampa | Sep 11, 2021
iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Tampa | Sep 11, 2021

Who can fly with iFLY indoor skydiving?

iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Tampa | Sep 11, 2021
iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Tampa | Sep 11, 2021

We welcome flyers from 3 to 103. If you have reasonable health and fitness you can fly. But do check the criteria below before you book.

Participants must weigh less than 300lbs. Women who are pregnant should not fly. Anyone with a hard cast is not permitted to fly. Individuals with recent back, neck, and heart problems should check with a doctor before flying. iFLY recommends people with prior shoulder dislocations DO NOT FLY! If you have any concerns or questions about whether or not you can fly, contact your local iFLY. Everyone who flys must complete a Flight Waiver, which contains further details.

How does it work?

iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Tampa | Sep 11, 2021
iFLY Indoor Skydiving - Tampa | Sep 11, 2021

A vertical wind tunnel has fans at the top of the building to draw air through the flight chamber and then push it back down the sides through Return Air Towers. That leads to an inlet contractor that compresses & speeds up the air before it reenters the flight chamber. The result: a smooth column of air that enables you to fly.
