We had a great experience at Sky Dive Perris! The instructors were terrific and explained the sky diving methodology accurately and professionally so every one understood how to have the best skydiving experience! It was a crystal blue skies spring day for spectacular views!
Later on we stopped in at the Skydive Perris grill and pub for some great burgers !

My adult son has wanted to skydive for a while now. Then his sister brought up the idea for a skydiving package as a gift for his 25th birthday and we called Skydive Perris. After a conversation with their friendly staff, we booked their Sensory Overload Package.
Guests should plan for the Sensory Overload Package to take about three-quarters of the day. His day began at 10:15am with two indoor skydiving flights in their Skydiving Simulator (wind tunnel)… they say that this is comparable to two skydives from 12,500ft w/120mph winds. The jumper is given a flight training briefing by a Certified Body Flight Instructor. Then they have you gear up with indoor skydiving gear from head to toe, complete with helmet and earplugs… wear comfortable clothes and bring sneakers. Each indoor flight takes about a minute and there are two instructors with you in the simulator, one with you at all times and the other either in the simulator or giving directions from the door. There is another employee who runs the equipment and is watching what is happening in the simulator at all times. AnnMar from South Africa was one of the trainers (both of whom were excellent)! Friends and family are welcome to watch and cheer you on from the observation deck and they can take as many pictures/videos as they wish… in fact, if the instructors see you are taking pictures, they line your loved one up and make sure you get some great video/photos! Perris Skydiving will also set you up with a photo package of their own, if you wish… no pressure!
Let me take this moment to make this point to emphasize… EVERY STAFF MEMBER WE ENCOUNTERED WAS FANTASTIC! This is a big production, it is well thought out, brilliantly organized and they have excellent customer service!
We told the staff that the tandem jump from the plane was going to be a surprise for my son, so ‘mum-was-the-word’ and he had no idea what was going on until he had to sign the paperwork! It was sweeeeeetttt! While he really liked the indoor jumps, he was secretly kinda bummed to be so close to the REAL jumpers and yet so far… so when we lured him over to the airfield to watch some jumpers land he complied, but half-heartedly… it wasn’t until he was in the Flight School Office that he found out the day was not yet over… we really surprised him!
Part two of the Sensory Overload Package was the tandem jump. A Tandem Skydive is where you are physically/securely harnessed to an instructor during your jump, the jumper freefalls from 12,500ft with the expertise of an experienced instructor. The pair free-fall for nearly one minute, to 5,000ft where they deploy the canopy and then float down to a soft, controlled landing. Perris Skydive provides all gear and you are also given a short training for this. We saw ALL types of people doing this tandem jump, everyone loved it! Oh yes, the Sensory Overload Package provides you with a souvenir “I JUMPED” T-Shirt! When all was said, seen and done... we were back on the road - headed for home a little after 3pm.
Note... my husband and I purchased a video package in addition to the Sensory Overload Package… it was about $90 (with the military discount) and it had a pre-flight interview, video while he was in the plane whilst reaching altitude, then his personal videographer jumped with the tandem team for remote footage, additionally his instructor had a Go-Pro in his glove to interview my son as they were floating down. In the meantime the videographer then hurried to land so he could catch the tandem-team’s landing on tape, afterwards he post-jump interviewed my son (to catch the afterglow). Lastly this was neatly edited and given to us in the form of a DVD in less than a half hour! My son is a very reserved kind of guy… so the look on his face during the entire jump was priceless to us! Incredible and worth every penny!
Families and friends were not forgotten by Skydive Perris. Perris, California is HOT in the summer! It was over 100 degrees the July day we were there. But, there is plenty of shade, plenty of seating, a pool guests can use for free, a restaurant with a bar (alcoholic beverages are NOT permitted for skydivers!) and a good variety of fairly decent short-order food served quickly. If you are too hot and need air-conditioning, the restaurant is nice and cool and there are a few offices (Tandem Jump School office and the Video Viewing Room) that you can duck in to for a bit.
Summing it up…
• Excellent staff (from all over the world)
• Smooth Operation
• Friendly atmosphere
• Incredible experience!
Special Thanks to Instructor James Perez, Videographer Simeon Lott and Customer Service Rep Lori... our whole family had a blast!

My husband and I decided to get our skydiving licenses this year and after a lot of research decided Skydive Perris was the place to do it. We spent the first 10 days of March working our way through the AFF course. We managed to pick the weirdest week for weather, so we had several non-jump days, but we hung out at the drop zone and talked to instructors about gear and theory and watched more experienced jumpers doing their thing. We had nothing but great interactions with staff members and owners. There is an amazing depth of knowledge and experience to be found at this drop zone! Instructors are friendly and take time to explain things and share personal experiences with you. Everyone we worked with is passionate about the sport and want you to succeed. They also have an indoor wind tunnel at the drop zone - which is fantastic if the weather isn't allowing for actual jumps! We will be back in a few weeks to continue working towards our A licenses and look forward to

This drop zone has the best planes, instructors, and bar in the area. Very safe conditions and staff from skydive Perris. The indoor tunnel is also a great place to train for the free fall. This drop zone has rooms to sleep there as well as showers, bunks, and a full kitchen to eat . Make sure you ask to jump out of sky van!@!@!@

I was deathly scared jus too the idea of doing a skydive jump. I'm not afraid of the heights but have always been mortified of the idea of jumping out of an airplane and just letting go. What if was always the question in my mind. So, exactly because I've been deathly scared of doing it I decided to do it. Because in the end, we are only afraid of the fear itself, because once you jump there's nothing more you can do. And believe me, once I jumped out with my instructor Irish, it was amazing! The feeling of flying is absolute and amazing, something that you can't compare with anything else. And once the chute is opened, the peace under the canopy so high up ni the air is blissful. So, I highly recommend to do it.
The Perris center is very well organised, everything seems very easy and intuitive. The staff is nice and friendly, however, the only thing I felt was that I was just a number for them. Just another customer whom they would be done with in several minutes. My only recommendation would be to improve that. I was deathly scared and I really needed some encouragement and engagement passed the legal stuff and putting on the jump suit. My tandem buddy, Irish, was very good. It was all natural to him and his calmness also calmed me. Which is something I really appreciated it. After all, he was someone whom I entrusted my life. The fall was 7 minutes long. The whole experience took a bit under an hour. I would do it again for sure, however, I just wished it felt a bit friendlier.

Oh, Iván, I'm so sorry you felt like a number when you came to our dropzone, as it is REALLY (seriously) something we don't want to happen. We always try to make everybody welcome and part of our family, because, honestly, it is how we feel. Something must have gone really wrong that day for you to feel like a number, and on behalf of our whole team, I want to apologize. Skydiving is an extraordinary and scary experience (especially the first time), and the courage it takes to jump our of an airplane should never be overlooked.
Thank you for your feedback, I will make sure our staff knows about your experience. We do hope you'll give us another chance if you decide to face your fears again! (It is less scary the second time around ;-) )
That said, it looks like your skydive was awesome, thank you for your review!

We were flight crew on a lay over in LA, our captain dragged us to Perris with a promise of a great day.... that is was! From start to finish we were made to feel very welcome! We didn’t have to wait long at all and got to share the aircraft with the Canadian Sky Hawks!!! That in itself was pretty awesome! I felt very safe at all times my instructor Che was great... there was a point when I couldn’t even talk in the aircraft full with nerves, but I had confidence in Che to get me down safely. The jump was insane the free fall was by far the best experience EVER! Even got to control the parachute. It was immense! The facilities are great we loved chilling by the pool watching all the jumpers for the afternoon!
We really had a fabulous day and created life long memories!
Thank you!

WOW right back at you! Thank you so much for such a detailed and awesome review! Come back ANYTIME! Even if it's just for a day around the pool, or if you feel like you want to take advantage of your lay overs to start your AFF course, Skydive Perris is happy to be your home away from home! :-D

Stayed for a week in their bunkhouse. For 10$ a night it's great value. Sure the kitchen was messy, sure the bunkhouse shower was messy, but that's all our fault..the ones living there. Linen to the bed and towels was provided for which is awesome. The on site restaurant "The bombshelter" has nice food for good prices...staff excellent! Generous portions...
The main operations of the skydiving is handled by two Twin Otters. Everything from basic skydiving to wing suiting can be done or taught here. Talk to Lawrence..he'll sort you out.
People in the manifest are a bunch of peaches...26€/solo jump or cheaper if you buy more off the bat....all in all a great place either to learn how to skydive OR improve on what you already know...

I never leave Yelp reviews but Jocelyn was so amazing that I couldn't not! I was terrified to Skydive but she was so reassuring and supportive and totally calmed me down because I knew I was in such capable hands! She was also so nice and if I ever skydive again it's going to be with Jocelyn! Seriously she was the best and it was the best experience and I’m so happy I did it!!!
