© FijiPocketGuide.comWhich Height to Skydive From?
As you can see, the skydiving companies in Fiji offer different heights for skydiving, from 10,000 ft to 13,000 ft. Is there really a difference?
As the Fiji Pocket Guide team have done multiple skydives from various heights, we can give an informed opinion that the experience isn’t all too different between one height and the other. It’s still an adrenaline rush with sensational views, no matter what height you choose. We feel that you only start appreciating the freefalling seconds after your first skydive – so if you’re new to skydiving, it might be worth saving your money and freefalling from a lower height. Nevertheless, if you have a “go big or go home” mantra or have done a skydive before, then the higher the better.
