This was my first time skydiving and it was AMAZING! I would recommend to anyone who asks about it! I was super nervous in the beginning but once I was on that plane my nerves left immediately. My Instructor was a 10/10 and helped me feel secure throughout the whole process. You can tell this guy is experienced in this sport and loves it. Definitely coming back in the future!!!

FAQ
Got questions? We’ve answered the ones we hear most.
Where is the NYC drop zone actually located, and how far is it from Manhattan?
iSkydive New York City operates out of Greenwood Lake Airport, 126 Airport Rd, West Milford, NJ 07480, about 41 miles from Manhattan. Plan on roughly an hour by car depending on traffic, longer on a summer weekend.
Can I get to the NYC drop zone without a car?
Yes. iSkydive New York City is one of the few tandem drop zones reachable by public transit from the city, using bus routes 196 or 197. Driving is still the faster option, but it’s a real alternative if you don’t have a car.
What will I see when I skydive over the New York area?
From altitude you’ll see forests and rolling hills, the Hudson River winding below, and the Manhattan skyline in the distance on clear days.
Why is the check-in office at this location inside an airplane?
iSkydive New York City’s office and viewing area are built into a real retired aircraft parked at Greenwood Lake Airport, not a standard building. It doubles as the spot where friends and family watch jumps from the ground.
Is iSkydive New York City the closest tandem skydiving location to Manhattan?
Yes. The dropzone sits across the river in West Milford, NJ, but it’s the closest tandem skydiving center to downtown Manhattan, which is why it’s positioned as the New York City location rather than under a New Jersey brand. iSkydive’s separate New Jersey location, near the Jersey Shore in Lakewood, is a different dropzone entirely.
Is NYC a good spot for a birthday or proposal jump?
Yes. iSkydive New York City runs dedicated birthday jump packages, with discounted rates for groups of 4 or more, plus a marriage proposal package, and the Manhattan skyline view gives both a memorable backdrop.
Does weather affect skydiving at the New York City location?
It can, more than at our year-round locations. iSkydive New York City operates seasonally, May through October, and closes for the winter due to cold and icing conditions. Even in season, delays can happen due to weather, air traffic control, or aircraft maintenance. We do our best to notify you at least two hours before your scheduled time, but sometimes changes happen last minute. We always build some buffer time into the 2 to 4 hour experience window.
Are there weight limits or extra charges?
Yes. There’s an extra fee for guests over 200 pounds, and the maximum weight limit is 240 pounds. All clothing and gear count toward total weight, and everyone is weighed on arrival. Weight and equipment limits are set by manufacturer specifications and FAA guidelines, not by iSkydive.
iSkydive America offers premium skydiving experiences with professional training, breathtaking views, and world-class safety standards.
