Skydiving in Romania: Where and How Much Does It Cost? (2026 Guide)
There are a few moments in life that reset everything. A parachute jump from 4,000 meters is one of them. Not because it's dangerous — in tandem, safety statistics are solid and equipment is certified — but because it's physically impossible to think of anything else during the 60 seconds of freefall at 200 km/h. Nothing before, nothing after. Just the sky.
If you've reached this article, you're either ready to book or almost convinced. This guide gives you everything you need to know: locations, real 2026 prices, what each package includes, participation requirements, and what to do if the weather spoils your plans.

The first tandem jump was made in 1981. Since then, the technique has continuously improved — current equipment includes automatic reserve parachute opening systems (AAD), which activate independently if the manual control has not been used up to the critical altitude.
How a complete skydiving experience unfolds in Romania
The total experience lasts a maximum of 2–3 hours, including all stages. Here's what awaits you step by step:
- Arrival and check-in: You arrive at the airfield, complete the consent form, and receive your equipment — harness, protective suit, goggles.
- Briefing (15–20 min): The instructor explains the correct freefall position, hand signals, and what happens when the parachute opens. Essential, not formal.
- Plane ascent: The flight to 4,000 m takes approximately 20 minutes. Emotions gradually increase.
- The jump: The plane door opens. You take the step. Freefall of ~60 seconds at 200 km/h.
- Parachute opening: At approximately 1,500 m, the instructor pulls the handle. Speed drops sharply, silence sets in.
- Parachute flight (6–10 min): You glide smoothly, with a 360° panorama. In Tuzla — above the Black Sea.
- Landing: The instructor guides everything — you land on your feet or gently on your bottom, without shocks.
- Photo/video materials: If you chose the video package, you will receive the materials later by email.

Which package is worth it: basic, handcam or full video?
This is the question almost everyone booking for the first time asks. Here's a clear comparison:
Handcam — POV video
1,700 RON Camera on instructor's hand.Captures your expression at the moment of the jump. Book
If it's your first time, the handcam is worth the price difference compared to basic. POV footage captures your expression at the moment of the jump — something you can't replicate in any other circumstance. The full video with a cameraman is worth it if you want cinematic quality materials or if you're gifting the experience and want to deliver the visual memory as well. Materials are sent via email afterwards.
Participation requirements: age, weight, health
- Minimum age: 16 years with notarized consent of both parents, legalized by a notary. From 18 years — no formalities.
- Maximum age: There is no strict limit, but people over 60 need a medical certificate or Class 2 certificate.
- Maximum weight: 100–110 kg depending on the operator (the harness must fit correctly).
- Health condition: Generally good — no serious heart problems, ankle/leg problems, or conditions that could be aggravated by exertion and altitude.
- Previous experience: Not necessary. The on-site briefing covers everything you need to know.
- Eyeglasses: Allowed. Operators provide protective goggles that can be worn over eyeglasses.
How safe is tandem skydiving in Romania?
Tandem skydiving is considered one of the safest forms of initiation into parachuting. The equipment used includes a main parachute doubled by a reserve parachute, plus the AAD (Automatic Activation Device) system — an electronic device that automatically opens the reserve parachute if it has not been manually deployed by the critical altitude.
- Main parachute supplemented by a reserve parachute
- AAD system for automatic deployment of the reserve parachute in case of emergency
- New canopies regularly purchased by operators
- Certified instructors with extensive experience
- Regular equipment checks
- Jumps are automatically cancelled when weather conditions do not allow safe flight
Weather conditions and what happens if the jump is postponed
Skydiving is entirely dependent on the weather. Here are the scenarios that lead to postponement and what happens to your booking:
| Weather condition | What happens |
|---|---|
| Strong wind / gusts | Jump postponed for a better window on the same day or rescheduled |
| Low clouds / low ceiling | Postponement until the ceiling lifts; if not — reschedule |
| Rain / fog / poor visibility | Reschedule for another day |
| Storm / lightning | Complete shutdown, mandatory rescheduling for another day |
Checklist for your first jump
- Confirm date, time, and location with the operator at least 7 days in advance
- Check the weather forecast for the respective airfield
- Prepare comfortable clothes: long pants, long-sleeved shirt, athletic shoes with solid soles
- Eat lightly 2–3 hours before — not on an empty stomach, not after a heavy meal
- Stay well-hydrated on the day of the jump; avoid alcohol
- Leave bulky jewelry and accessories that could be lost in freefall at home
- Bring identification
- If you wear eyeglasses, mention it at check-in for compatible protective goggles
Frequently Asked Questions about Skydiving in Romania
How safe is a tandem parachute jump?
A tandem jump is one of the safest forms of initiation into parachuting. Equipment includes a main parachute doubled by a reserve one and an AAD system that automatically opens the reserve parachute in case of emergency. Instructors are certified and regularly checked, and jumps are automatically cancelled if weather conditions are not safe.
Is prior experience required for parachuting?
No prior training is necessary. You will receive a full 15–20 minute briefing immediately before the jump, where the instructor explains your freefall position, hand signals, and what happens when the parachute opens. The instructor handles all technical aspects — you just enjoy the experience.
What is the difference between handcam and a freefall cameraman?
A handcam is a camera mounted on the instructor's hand — it films from the front, giving you POV perspectives and showing your expression at the moment of the jump. A freefall cameraman is a third dedicated skydiver who jumps with you and captures external footage, with multiple angles and superior cinematic quality. The full package also includes photos.
Can I skydive if I wear eyeglasses?
Yes, without problems. Operators provide special protective goggles that can be worn over eyeglasses. Mention at check-in that you wear glasses to receive the appropriate equipment. There is no need to use contact lenses instead.
How far in advance do I need to book?
Regulations require booking a minimum of 7 days before the desired date. During peak season (May–August, weekends), we recommend booking 2–3 weeks in advance. Last-minute bookings are possible if there are available spots, but do not rely on them during busy periods.
What happens if the voucher recipient loses their nerve?
Vouchers from CadouriPerfecte.ro offer complete flexibility: if the recipient changes their mind, they can exchange the voucher for another experience from the portfolio, without financial loss. Validity is 12 months from the issue date — enough time to mentally prepare.
