What You'll Get
America has always been the most extreme country, from the Boston Tea Punchings to having the first man swear on the moon. We hold this shredding guitar solo to be self-evident with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $169 for a scenic flight and tandem skydive for one person, with an included handheld camera (a $300 value)
- $299 for a scenic flight and tandem skydive for two people, with two included handheld cameras (a $600 value)
During scenic flights, passengers hop into a Cessna 206 aircraft that takes them 10,000 feet into the air to see picturesque aerial views of the Sacramento Mountains. For the tandem jump, instructors securely fasten themselves to students before leaping out of the aircraft at 10,000 feet. Students take video of their experience with a provided handheld camera while instructors run the parachute.
Pictures and videos of flights can be purchased for an additional charge.

About Skydive White Sands
Although the views of the Sacramento Mountains are imposing and majestic at ground level, nothing can compete with approaching them from 10,000 feet above. That’s why the staff at Skydive White Sands offers a range of jumps and classes that let guests get a bird’s-eye view of the mountain peaks, smooth white sands, and roller-skating clouds while feeling the rush of an adrenaline-pumping free fall. Staff members send jumpers into the air in a Cessna 206, then strap themselves to students for a tandem jump or teach them how to man their own parachute during the seven-level skydiving-licensing program. While in flight, clients can choose to record their experience with a handheld camera that documents their free fall and peaceful descent to the ground.
