About Us
What makes Skydive the Falls Stand out?
As a consumer you have options on where you choose to skydive.
The team at Skydive the Falls believes it’s important for you to know the facts about these options.
Once you have decided to go skydiving a couple of things will remain constant, mainly the freefall and the parachute ride. The feeling of freefall will be basically the same anywhere you go and the parachute flight won’t vary that much either. Most drop zones will give you a safe and fun skydive.
The difference comes down to what sets us apart…
The view, the people, the process and the product.
The View
We can say with confidence that we have the superior view!
Skydive the Falls is the ONLY skydiving center that circles over the top of Niagara Falls by joining the scenic pattern. This guarantees our guests the best possible views of the Falls. We take off from Windsor Airport (63NY) then fly down the Niagara River seeing sights like the Toronto Skyline, Fort Niagara, local landmarks such as ArtPark Amphitheater and Whirlpool State Park just to name a few. Once we reach Niagara Falls we join the scenic traffic pattern where you get even more breathtaking views. We then head back to our drop zone to make our skydive!
Our Product
We believe we offer one of the most incredible skydives in the industry. Of course we have one of the seven natural wonders of the world on your ride to altitude. In addition we have Incredible views of lake Ontario, the lower Niagara River and the Canadian shoreline including the Toronto skyline! Our people are truly devoted to your experience. We provide a Cessna Grand Caravan and a Cessna 206 with a rear door as our regular jump ships for the most comfortable ride to altitude and better exiting position. We also take you to the highest altitude on a regular basis. We also bring in even larger aircraft throughout the season please check our events page or call us directly for those dates.
Skydive the Falls is the closest drop zone to Buffalo NY and Niagara Falls. In fact Skydive the Falls is the only skydiving center in the 716 area code. If you’re only going to do it once… Skydive the Falls!
