The butterflies in your stomach. The racing thoughts. The question that keeps circling your mind: "Can I really do this?" If you're considering first time skydiving in Palawan, you're about to embark on one of the most thrilling experiences of your life—and yes, you absolutely can do this.
No Experience? No Problem!
You don't need any prior experience to skydive in Palawan. Our certified tandem instructors handle all the technical aspects while you enjoy the adventure of a lifetime.
Why Palawan for Your First Jump
Choosing where to make your first jump matters. Known as the "Last Frontier" of the Philippines, Palawan consistently ranks among the world's most beautiful islands.
Experienced instructors who specialize in first-time jumpers
Modern equipment meeting international safety standards
A welcoming, supportive atmosphere designed to calm nerves
Breathtaking scenery that distracts from fear and amplifies joy
"I was terrified, but my instructor made me feel so safe. The moment we jumped, fear turned into pure joy. Palawan from above is indescribable."
How to Get Here
San Vicente Airport (SWL) is the closest airport to our drop zone. Cebu Pacific suspended direct Cebu–San Vicente flights on February 26, 2026. Most first-time visitors fly to Puerto Princesa (daily flights from Manila and other hubs, then a 3–4 hour drive) or El Nido Airport (LIO) with flights from Manila—ideal if you're planning to explore El Nido's world-famous lagoons.
Pro Tip for International Travelers
With Cebu Pacific's Cebu–San Vicente service suspended as of February 26, 2026, many travelers connect via Manila or Cebu to Puerto Princesa or El Nido, then take a van or private transfer to San Vicente. Always verify the latest schedules before you book.
What to Expect on Jump Day
Your tandem skydiving experience includes check-in, safety briefing, gearing up, the flight, freefall, canopy ride, and landing. The sensation of freefall is unlike anything else—you're floating on a column of air at 120 mph.
Arrival & Check-In
Complete paperwork, meet your instructor, and receive your safety briefing. Don't hesitate to ask questions!
Gearing Up
Your harness connects securely to your instructor's equipment. Everything is checked multiple times for your safety.
The Flight
Watch Palawan transform below you as you climb to altitude. This is when the excitement truly builds!
Freefall
30-45 seconds of pure exhilaration at 120 mph. You're floating on a column of air, not falling!
Canopy & Landing
Peaceful 5-7 minute glide under the parachute, then a gentle landing. You did it!
Who Can Skydive
There is no strict age limit at Skydive Palawan. The primary requirement is that you must fit properly in the harness. Younger jumpers require parental consent.
