Do We land In Yosemite Valley?
We do not land in Yosemite Valley as it is illegal. We do fly over Yosemite Valley and have spectacular views of Half Dome and El Capitan. When we jump from the plane you’ll still be able to see Half Dome and El Capitan. We land safely at the Mariposa-Yosemite Airport, next to where the check in office is located.
How Safe is it to Skydive?
All jumpmasters are U.S.P.A. rated; all aircraft and pilots are F.A.A. certified. We will not take you in the aircraft unless you and the jumpmaster are completely satisfied. All rigs have automatic activation devices. Any statistics can be obtained from WWW.USPA.ORG or call 1-800-371-USPA (8772).

Good physical health is always a plus in any sport. You cannot jump within 48 hours of Scuba diving or within 24 hours after giving blood. If you are taking prescription drugs for an illness, you are required to have a doctors certificate stating that no adverse effects will result from making a parachute jump.
We have had people over 80 years old. So bring your grandmother along, she might end up jumping too!
