Why choose Solo Skydiving Travel Insurance?
Skydiving involves jumping from an aircraft, free-falling at speed and deploying a parachute before landing. Solo skydiving is carried out independently rather than as a tandem jump, with participants responsible for their own body position, canopy control and landing under instructor supervision.
ActivitySure can cover solo skydiving on an amateur, non-professional basis when you are taking part abroad, with a maximum of one jump per trip, provided the activity meets the policy conditions. Because solo skydiving involves greater personal responsibility and takes place at altitude, it is important to ensure your travel insurance is suitable before you jump.

Destination Insight
Where is popular to go for skydiving?
Solo skydiving is popular in New Zealand, where established drop zones combine strict safety standards with dramatic landscapes, including coastlines, mountains and lakes. Many centres are well known for experienced instructors and favourable weather conditions. Dubai is another major destination, offering highly regulated operations and iconic views over desert and city skylines. In Hawaii, skydivers are drawn to reliable flying conditions and coastal drop zones, with professional operators overseeing all aspects of the jump.
Solo skydiving at these locations is typically run through licensed centres with structured briefings and clear operating procedures.
Here's why skydiving travel insurance matters:
Skydiving carries inherent risks due to altitude, speed and reliance on parachute systems. A hard landing, mid-air issue or equipment malfunction can result in serious injury requiring medical treatment, evacuation or repatriation. Having appropriate travel insurance in place helps protect you financially if something goes wrong during your jump abroad.
Helpful travel tips
- Follow all instructions and signals given by instructors and ground crew at all times.
- Wear appropriate safety equipment as required by the operator, including helmet and harness systems.
- Carry out thorough pre-jump checks, ensuring straps, fastenings and deployment systems are secure
- Maintain a stable, controlled body position during freefall and canopy descent.
- Only jump in approved conditions and never exceed the experience or limits set by the operator.
