Is skydiving on your bucket list? Seize this opportunity on Texel, because there’s nothing better than to see the island from high above. You’ll jump from the airplane from a minimum height of three kilometres and calmly soar down.
Paracentrum Texel offers various options, but the simplest way of trying out skydiving is a tandem jump. You don’t have to do a thing, as you’re connect to a jump master. When you jump from the plane together, you’ll fall down at a speed of about 200 kilometres per hour. That’s the free fall. After half a minute, the parachute opens and you can admire the island’s beautiful landscape while soaring in the sky.
Nice to know!
The difference between skydiving and parachuting? Skydiving refers to parachuting with a free fall. Your parachute won’t open immediately when you jump from the plane.
