Activity description

Come and discover the sensations of freefall near Bordeaux during a tandem skydiving jump above Soulac-sur-Mer which offers an exceptional setting between land and sea!

With its breathtaking scenery and thrilling sensations, this skydiving jump in Soulac-sur-Mer, on the banks of the Gironde estuary, will leave you with exceptional memories in the air. In tandem with a state-qualified instructor, you will dive for almost 45 seconds at 200 kph, free-falling over the Atlantic, the Médoc Regional Nature Park and the Gironde estuary in an unforgettable experience!

This skydiving experience in Soulac-sur-Mer, less than 2 hours' drive from Bordeaux, will begin with a detailed briefing on the safety equipment used and the positions to adopt during the freefall, then on landing. You will then board the plane for a 20-minute flight to your take-off point at about 4,000 metres in altitude, from where you will make your big jump. The sensations you will feel at this moment will be intense, especially when you feel yourself falling into the void, facing an extraordinary panorama!

At an altitude of 1,500 metres, the instructor attached behind you in tandem will open the parachute so that you can complete this jump over Soulac-sur-Mer with a gentle flight of 5 to 8 minutes before landing at the aerodrome. You will have plenty of time to recover from your emotions and make the most of the view of the Atlantic coast and Gironde estuary that awaits you!

If you are looking for a skydiving experience near Bordeaux, don't hesitate to choose Soulac-sur-Mer! And if you like, you can even opt for a skydive jump landing on the beach at Soulac-sur-Mer.
