Leap into the Sky: Tandem Skydiving and Training in Parys, Free State

If you've ever dreamed of skydiving, there’s no better place to take the plunge than Parys in the Free State. This charming adventure hub offers both first-time tandem jumps and professional training courses for those who want to become certified skydivers. Whether you’re chasing a bucket-list thrill or starting a new adrenaline-filled hobby, Parys provides the perfect launchpad.

Tandem skydiving is the ideal way to experience the rush of freefall without needing prior experience. You'll be securely harnessed to a professional instructor who guides you through every step — from a short briefing on the ground to the breathtaking jump from thousands of feet in the air. As the aircraft climbs, nerves turn to excitement, and the moment you exit the plane is one you'll never forget. After the heart-pounding freefall, the parachute opens and you're treated to a peaceful glide with sweeping views of the Vaal River, farmlands, and the surrounding natural beauty of the Vredefort Dome area.

For thrill-seekers wanting more, Parys also offers accelerated freefall (AFF) courses to help you learn the skills needed to skydive solo. Taught by certified instructors in a safe, structured environment, it’s the perfect place to begin your skydiving journey.

Just over an hour from Johannesburg, Parys is an accessible and unforgettable destination for skydiving in South Africa. Whether you’re looking for a once-off adrenaline rush or a pathway to becoming a licensed jumper, the sky is literally the limit.
