Since 1972, Skydive Toronto has logged more than 400,000 jumps under the same original management. They offer the unforgettable experience of stepping from an aircraft at altitude and watching the ground transform from a distant idea into a breathtaking reality.
The flight to altitude is part of the experience at Skydive Toronto. Over about 20 minutes, the aircraft climbs to between 9,250 and 15,250 feet, depending on the package, with sweeping views of Lake Ontario. On clear days, the CN Tower is visible in the distance.
The Experience
Then the door opens. For some, that’s when the nerves peak; for others, they disappear entirely. From 15,250 feet, free fall can last up to a minute before the parachute deploys. This is followed by several minutes under canopy to take in the scenery and process what just happened.
All first-time jumps at Skydive Toronto are completed in tandem with a certified instructor who handles every technical aspect of the skydive. No prior experience is required. Reviews frequently praise the instructors’ professionalism and encouragement, though visitors should keep in mind that weather can lead to delays or rescheduled jumps, making flexibility important.
Friends and family are welcome to watch, and many jumpers say the optional photo and video packages are worth it for preserving the experience. Within a few hours of arriving, you’ll be suited up, boarding a plane, and taking part in an adventure that turns an ordinary day into something unforgettable.
