Skydiving in Gdańsk and the Tricity
A tandem jump from 4,000 m over northern Poland. No experience and no training needed.
On this page
Skyluma runs tandem skydives near Gdańsk. We jump from 4,000 metres — full altitude, which gives around 60 seconds of freefall at up to 200 km/h. The instructor then opens the canopy and you fly quietly over Pomerania for several minutes. On a clear day the view from altitude runs from the Bay of Gdańsk along the Baltic coast.
A tandem jump needs no preparation and no course. You stay attached to an instructor who handles the exit, the freefall, the opening and the landing. Your job is to look around.
Who can jump
- Complete beginners — that is who most tandem jumps are for.
- From 16 years old; under-18s need written consent from a legal guardian.
- Up to 100 kg body weight.
- No medical conditions that rule out physical exertion.
How the day works
- Arrival, paperwork and ID check.
- A short briefing: body position on exit, and lifting your legs for landing.
- Harness on, and into the aircraft.
- The climb to 4,000 m, with a view over the Baltic coast.
- Exit, roughly 60 seconds of freefall, canopy, flight and landing.
Weather
Skydiving depends on wind, cloud base and visibility. If a jump cannot go ahead on the day, we arrange another date — the voucher keeps its validity and no money is lost, only the date moves.
Getting here
The drop zone sits near Gdańsk, within an easy drive from Gdynia, Sopot and the wider Pomeranian region. We send the exact address and directions when the date is confirmed.
What the price includes
- The briefing on the ground — body position, the exit, the landing.
- Equipment: tandem harness, goggles and a jumpsuit if conditions call for one.
- The lift to 4,000 metres and the jump with an instructor.
- Several minutes under canopy over Pomerania.
- In the filmed variants, the footage.
How long the day takes
The jump itself is about fifteen minutes from take-off to landing. You will usually spend several hours at the dropzone, because the order follows the weather and how busy it is. Come without a plan for the rest of the day.

Frequently asked questions
Where do you jump?
Near Gdańsk, within easy reach of the whole Tricity and the Pomeranian region. We share the exact location when confirming your date.
Do I need experience?
No. On a tandem jump you are attached to an instructor, and the short briefing happens on site before the jump.
How safe is tandem skydiving?
Tandem equipment is maintained on a fixed inspection schedule, jumps are flown by qualified instructors, and the rig carries a reserve canopy with an automatic activation device. Jumping is never risk-free, but the tandem system is the most heavily supervised way to do it.
