Top Five Skydiving Spots for an Adventure Vacation
If you are looking to turn your next trip into an adventure, consider visiting one of the skydiving spots listed below. Skydiving is something many people find exciting and enjoyable, and certain places can make for an excellent dive.
Skydivers see the world as few other people do. Falling with nothing between you and the sky can be an amazing experience and quite the adrenaline rush. Doing so in an area with beautiful scenery can heighten the experience immensely and can provide you with cherished memories for the rest of your life.
Several companies offer to video your free-fall, and this is an excellent way to commemorate your experience and to show to all of your friends and relatives. If you are a beginner skydiver or have never done a dive before, many companies also offer lessons. Although skydiving is an exciting adventure, safety is a primary concern of the companies that offer dives.

New Zealand
A common skydiving adventure vacation location, New Zealand is popular with skydivers because of the incredibly diverse terrain. The beauty of New Zealand’s seas, mountains and hills is a breathtaking experience, and one that should not be passed up.
In the city of Taupo, there are plenty of companies to choose from to help with your flight, and some of them offer the option to go to out of the way places where there are few other people. If you are the type of skydiver that enjoys diving in areas where there aren’t a lot of other skydivers, one of these out-of-the-way trips may be just the thing you’ve been looking for.
Eastern Australia
Just a hop, skip and a jump from New Zealand lies another popular skydiving region, Eastern Australia. Jumpers can experience a great view of land, sea and air. Some companies even offer jump zones located near the Great Barrier Reef and many more offer jumps during which you can get a wonderful view of the Australian coastline.
Words cannot do justice especially to the jumps near the Great Barrier Reef. This area is so beautiful that it is mind-boggling. Jumps near the Reef are definitely not a treat that you should pass up and are totally worth the additional expense.
There are several amazing jump zones in Australia and you will find a company to help with your jump easily. Companies can be found in Sydney, Queensland and everywhere in between.

Guam
Guam is a small island located in the Western Pacific Ocean. Though the country is self-governed, it is a territory of the United States. It is the largest and most southernmost of the group of islands known as the Mariana Islands.
The premiere skydiving company in Guam, Skydive Guam, is widely considered to be one of the best of such companies worldwide. The company has worked with skydivers from around the world and is well loved.
Skydiving in Guam can be quite a peaceful experience, falling through the clouds towards the hilly lands below. From 14,000 feet, the island is small enough that a skydiver will be able to take in the entire piece of land, from one coast to the other. Small, picturesque towns and villages dot the landscape and Guam is truly one of the more unique dives you can make.
The Kamchatka Peninsula
Few skydivers even know of this location, and even fewer actually visit it. The Kamchatka Peninsula is located on the far eastern tip of Russia and is a relatively remote area.
For the best experience skydiving in this region, make sure to seek out a company that will allow you to skydive over the active volcano known as Mutnosfky. Don’t worry too much about falling into a lava floe as you are far more likely to see ice floes in this frozen and desolate land.
If you want a skydiving experience that cannot be replicated elsewhere, then the Kamchatka Peninsula should be your chosen destination. Few people can say that they’ve made a dive over an active volcano, so why not join that elite and prestigious club?
The Swiss Alps
Even on the ground, the Swiss Alps offers up some of the most beautiful scenery in the entire world, and it’s even more gorgeous seen from a few thousand feet up. Many people come to this area for skiing, mountain climbing, chocolate or to just take in the amazing mountain views.
Gear up in winter clothing and take an exhilarating dive into the Swiss Alps with its snow and glacier covered mountains, and an exquisite view of the city of Interlaken that will leave you breathless as you approach it at speeds of around 120mph. By the time you reach the ground, your heart will be pumping and you will feel invigorated.
While these five regions are definitely top sky diving spots, the world has many other interesting places to choose from. However, if you select one of these five, you are guaranteed to create a life long memory of the experience, something that you will never forget.
