We all dream of being able to fly, skydiving comes pretty close…
As early as 1483, the famous Leonardo DaVinci developed a parachute, which was actually replicated in 2000 and found to be safer and more comfortable than modern parachutes.
So if you want to discover the world from a new perspective, here are the 9 best places for skydiving!
9. The Palm, Dubai
In Dubai you can see the man-made wonder “The Palm” from above and during your jump you will have an incomparable view of the desert, the sea, and the impressive skyscrapers. Since this is the most popular skydive in the world, you should definitely book a jump in advance and plan your trip around the jump. The jump is worth it in any case because you won’t find such a sight anywhere else.
By the way, skydiving is the most fun in a group! So, grab your TripMates and jump out of a plane together to change the perspective a little. 😉

4. Victoria Falls, Zambia
Imagine falling out of the sky through rainbows and water drops… an incredible experience! And that’s exactly what you can experience at Victoria Falls. You will fly over the largest waterfall in the world and then jump over the Zambezi River to enjoy the panorama.
If you have read our blog ‘The 10 best bungee spots in the world’, you know that here you can not only jump from a plane but also from the bridge that connects Zambia and Zimbabwe. No matter what adrenaline adventure you are looking for, you will find it here.
3. Grand Canyon
At the Grand Canyon in Yellowstone National Park, you will find one of the most incredible views in the world. Since you can even see the Grand Canyon from space, you can imagine the view from a skydive. But imagination is not enough, because as with many places in this world, the Grand Canyon exceeds all expectations and no photo in the world can ever do justice to its beauty. During a skydive over the Grand Canyon, you will jump from the second-highest drop zone in the world and you will even be provided with oxygen tanks here. Enjoy the panorama during a jump and try to memorize it as best you can.
