Looking for a unique and exhilarating adventure in Brisbane? iFLY Indoor Skydiving offers the ultimate free-fall sensation – without having to jump from an aeroplane. Located in the heart of Brisbane at Westfield Chermside, iFLY lets you experience the rush of flight in a safe, controlled environment that’s perfect for all ages.
🌬 The iFLY Brisbane Experience: What to Expect
Your entire iFLY experience lasts for over an hour, and the time will fly by! Here’s a detailed breakdown of what a first-time flyer can expect:
- Check-in and Briefing: Arrive at your scheduled time and check in at a kiosk. Your weight will be discreetly taken to help the instructor calibrate the wind speed. You’ll then be taken to a briefing room for a video and one-on-one instructions on safety and the hand signals you’ll use to communicate in the tunnel.
- Gearing Up: You will be provided with all the necessary gear, including a flight suit, helmet, and goggles, all of which are sanitised between flights. All you need to bring are comfortable clothes and lace-up shoes.
- The Flight: This is the moment you’ve been waiting for! Your instructor will be with you one-on-one in the vertical wind tunnel to guide you and ensure you maintain the correct body position. Each flight is around one minute long, but feels much longer, and is equivalent to the freefall of a skydive from 14,000 feet.
- High Fly and Progression: For a small additional fee (around $20), your instructor can take you on a “High Fly,” where they guide you to the top of the wind tunnel for an exhilarating spin. As you get more experienced, you’ll be able to learn new skills and progress to more advanced manoeuvres.
🎟 Flight Packages and Pricing
While specific offers change, all packages include training, gear hire, one-on-one instruction, and a flight certificate.
