Skydive Sacramento

I highly recommend skydive Sacramento in Lincoln. Instructor Brian is so AWESOME. Ppl R friendly, helpful and professional. Brian explains everything b4 u get on plane and again on plane. AMAZING experience

Horrible customer service. They are almost never open when you need to talk to them, like to change appointment times on you last minute, and charge you for every little thing. Bought a Groupon for my fiancé and these people screwed everything up. You have to call at odd hours to schedule an appointment and if one person in your party doesn’t show up, then you get charge. Reschedule? Get charged. Issue with your Groupon? Get charged. These people are money hungry vultures. Stay away and go to somewhere more professional with good customer service. Who wants to skydive over Lincoln anayway?

Best experience ever. My girlfriend did this as a surprise birthday present for me, I loved it! I got Brian as an instructor, he said he had 6000+ jumps in. He knows his stuff. Great guy great personality really efficient. I had a blast I will be back for sure.

I tried contacting them for multiple days and could not get a hold of them. When I did get a hold of them I got put on hold and ended up waiting for 10 minutes and the phone hung up. I decided to go skydiving at SkyDance Skydiving In Davis. I had an amazing experience there. I would definitely recommend SkyDance Skydiving in Davis if you have the same problem I did with getting ahead of skydive Sacramento. If your reading this I hope you end up going skydiving, it is truly a amazing and unforgettable experience.

I wish I could rank them 5 stars but my friend and I had a very difficult time getting in touch with someone to schedule our reservation. So don’t worry if they don’t answer the phone, just keep calling! And try to schedule at least a weak in advance.
The experience was all worth it though. It was my first jump and Brian was my instructor; he couldn’t have been more fun and welcoming! Which definitely added to the experience. After releasing our parachute I knew I just had to jump again, so I’m definitely going back!

I had Brian as my instructor and he was very chill & friendly from the moment I met him. Went over the instructions about three times to make sure I knew what my job was. Very pleased with my experience and def would go back! You’ll def enjoy it!

I was really thinking to do this for long time and the day I reached der was the most exciting day. Although the Diver appointed to me was horrible and very RUDE. The moment he saw me, he started talking some rubbish things like «All people from your country are the worst divers». Initially i took it in a fun and said I will make sure I will be exception to that. But he keep on making fun about it and showed 0 interest in diving with me. He shared pathetic experience of diving accident with us which he should not.
from the take off of the plane till the moment we reached at 13 000 feet, he was sleeping whereas other diver allocated to my friend with whom I went was explaining, showing, sharing many things with him. During the dive, he asked me to hold the camera in my hand. I accidentally pressed button on that camera and he went crazy at 5000 – 6000 feet. Started saying how he was right about his opinion on us.
He even kept talking about it after landing.
He might have experienced bad thing but he cannot make generic opinion about everyone just because we belong to same country or community. If he has problems and disgusting thoughts he should have said no at the first place. At least it would not have ruined my money and day.

I ordered couple tickets on groupon and when I tried to book an appointment, I never received a response. I submitted multiple inquiries via their website, sent multiple emails, and called their number at least 50 times over a period of a month before giving up. Terrible customer service. I would give negative stars if I could.

I’ve always wanted to go skydiving since late high school. And recently my brother got me a groupon deal for 2 tandem jumps so suffice to say I was very excited!
We had an appointment at 11am, but there was an issue with our groupon, but it was taken care of in a relatively timely manner (I understand the front desk employees are very busy). We actually got to the plane at maybe 2:15 — 2:30ish? Me and my brother weren’t bothered by the wait time though. We just played ping pong until our names were called.
My instructor Brian, was AWESOME! This dude rocks! He was very informative and answered any questions I had throughout the entire experience. I always felt safe. He has a really fun personality and if you jump with him you’re going to end up having a great time!
I will definitely go again! It was an amazing experience!
If you’ve ever wanted to go skydiving, check this place out!

My husband and I had a GREAT time! We ordered a Groupon voucher for 9,000 ft. I wish we would’ve bought the 13,000 ft. Our instructors were awesome. Would defiantly do it again. We did have to wait a few hours, but they tell you that when you book the appointment.

Service (²⁄₅ stars):
— so my boyfriend bought us our skydive tickets on groupon. It was around 200 something for 2 people to jump at 13k ft. It was. Super fun experience and I love our instructors. They were funny and very cool.
The bad rating was because they had us make an appointment. Our original appointment was at 1pm but a few days before they had notified my bf that the appointment got pushed to 2pm which was totally fine.
And when we got there the day of we checked in 10 minutes before 2pm.
But somehow everyone had to wait at least 2 – 3 hours… Which is so freaking stupid. What’s the point of having a appointment system that makes us wait THIS LONG !
My friend went here before and they only waited 10 minutes tops. If they were short on staff or something, they shouldn’t over book their schedule rather than wasting our time and end up getting bad reviews and lose people.

If I could give this more than a 5 star, I truly would! Brian was a great instructor, made it very comfortable, enjoyable, and just a great experience! All staff were helpful and genuine. I am without a doubt terrified of heights, but the experience made me forget how terrified I was! Thank you again for the venture, Brian!

So, much like everyone says I echo the sentiment. It’s an amazing experience. I had a ton of fun. The guy who helped me with the jump, Paul, was curt, to the point, and had good energy. If I had a question, he gave me an answer. Awesome sauce. I can definitely appreciate this kind of interaction but it isn’t for everyone.
As far as what I had seen while waiting for things to kick off, there were some issues that had come up which I could see from some of the other reviews. People were waiting for their videos and pictures for a while since one of the computers had crashed and so adjustments were made. I didn’t care that much about it but you have options.
*Side note, you can get this stuff mailed to you directly. If you’re impatient and don’t want to wait you don’t have to. If you do want to wait, these things are processed in the order they came in and it is a click and wait process. A program processes the info automatically. There’s nothing that speeds up the process or makes it faster so don’t ask. Also, you’re in line behind others and possibly on a busy day. If you can deal with it at an amusement park, you can do it here too.
I went there with pants and a hoodie. My clothing selection was poor I’d say. Be comfortable but not too comfortable like I did haha. The harness does dig in so wear something long on the legs. It was cold this time of year so the sweater was good, the type of sweater was not. I think a thin thermal shirt underneath a semi thick sweater that was more form fitting would’ve been way better.
There was also a group of girls waiting to go when I left, all in animal onesies. I wish I had this kind of ingenuity before coming in. Haha. Plan aheaaaaaaad.
*Side note 2, Suzy (I could be spelling it wrong since there are different variations *shrug* haha) at the front is awesome. I saw people complaining and complaining and she’s trying to direct those inside getting ready, answering calls, processing paperwork and payments, answering other questions from those coming in, all the while indulging those complaining as much as possible. Weather happens, computers die or conk out, things happen. Don’t kill the messenger. She does it with a smile which is more than what others would do with someone coming at them angry for things outside of the person’s control.
Bottom line: The people I interacted with were good, but there was also some issues with the weather so plan ahead. Bring snacks. Bring something to do. Adjust and overcome and you’ll love the experience more for it.

Creepo instructors that try to hit on your girlfriend and tell them to break up, making them feel awkward through the jump.
Go somewhere else that doesn’t sexually harass women.

This is an awesome place for your first skydive! When I first entered, I did not like the customer service. I felt like we were thrown into a room to watch a video and sign a waiver, but there were barely any pens or seats.
After the paper work, the crew was super nice and enthusiastic. They did a great job at making this experience breathtaking and memorable for my cousins and I. Ross is extremely funny and he made me feel safe and excited! The free fall was amazing! View was standard, but doesn’t change that you’re jumping out of a plane at 9000 feet! They did a great job with the video and pics!
Overall, I would definitely recommend Skydive Sacramento for your first time.

I’m writing a review for my skydiving tandem experience almost 5 years ago: P
My 3 friends and I bought the groupon deal for $ 119 each. I’m not sure how that compares to other places but not too shabby for an experience of a lifetime. Where they get you, however, is the photos & video package deal. I believe it cost around $ 100. The photographer jumped with us and took my photos. It’s not cheap at all, but I’m all about documenting my adventures so it was well worth it.
Browsing through the reviews, I read about how a lot of people complain about their staff and service being very poor. I remember everything went smoothly for our group, from making reservations, to checking in, to signing our waivers, to getting geared up, to riding the plane, to jumping off the plane, to landing, and to receiving our cd of pictures and videos.
I don’t remember my instructors name because it was so long ago, but he was awesome! He even gave me a hug at the end :)
Overall, we all had a really good time and I would recommend everyone to go skydiving at least once in their lifetime!
TIP: I went on a hot day so I wore shorts. I ended up getting a lot of grass and hay stuck up my butt. So consider bringing long pants!

I really felt like I needed the feeling of being free, so I agreed to go with a friend when he was looking for someone to go with on the same morning that I had randomly thought about skydiving.
My instructor, Brian K., was professional, fun, and friendly. The reservation was for 2pm but my friend and I were thankful for the 2-​hour wait due to the beautiful sunset. We went over the procedures twice — once before we got on the plane and once a few minutes before the jump. From the take-​off to the landing on our feet, everything was perfect! The free-​fall was so freeing, and Brian maneuvered the parachute as we chatted while taking in the view. I had never thought that I wouldn’t be nervous and that I’d feel the NEED to jump out/​off of something after a tumultuous year.
Thank you, Brian! You made my first jump amazing!
Tips for first-​time jumpers: 1) The Groupon 50% off deal is a great offer! 2) The video and camera stills were so worth it. You’ll see the pure emotion on your face that you later won’t recall.

After much debate, I am giving Sky Dive Sac a 3 stars.
I read a lot of reviews while I waited to jump. Here is what I agree with:
— there is a lack of «professionalism»
— customer service is barebones
— it can be near impossible to get someone on the phone
— the wait is extensive
— they guys there do have a crude sense of humor
— the plane is tiny, covered in duck tape, and seemingly unsafe
— the view is pretty plain, brown fields and such
— most importantly: IT WAS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE!
Here is my response to what most would consider negative points from above:
Sky diving is an extreme sport done by thrill seekers and adrenaline junkies. I thoroughly expect the owner and instructors to have the «Bro» vibe and demeanor. I would be shocked if they didn’t make crude jokes and weren’t a little rough around the edges. They risk their lives to give random people a few mins of exhilaration. There are some people who seemed to take this offensively, I think it’s just a culture shock.
My instructor Ross was awesome from start to finish. That being said, I do think that some of the instructors get a little impatient when the customer they are jumping with second guesses them or doesn’t follow instruction well. Again, something that maybe a more sensitive person takes personally, but shouldn’t because the instructors are putting their lives on the line! What a customer does in the air or even ground can cause I injury or death to the employees. I think it’s best to do your research before hand, listen to what your jumping buddy is saying, and have some faith. As a last note on this– you are physically strapped to your jump buddy so yeah, you’re going to be up close and personal. If you have a hard time with personal space then this is going to be uncomfortable. GET OVER IT!
Sky Dive Sac has some logistical issues in terms of customer service procedures. The facilities are a bit lacking in ambiance, it’s basic and I don’t see much reason for it be any fancier or nicer. Their receptionist was nice to me but I can see how someone could have a totally different experience. The owner is great when it comes to jumping but less patient and savvy when dealing with customer service interactions. I recommend being prepared. Show up with your groupon (which I used with no issues), your ID, and some patience.
Overall, I would jump with them again.
Here is what to bring to enjoy your jumping journey:
–Water/​beverage
–snacks
–phone & charger or book! to keep you occupied while you wait
–Chapstick (put on before jump!)
— bottoms that cover the thighs (harness can be irritating) I wore my workout pants and they were perfect
— ID, payment (groupon or whatever), and debit card/​cash for if you want to buy photos/​video (highly recommend)
Do that and you’ll be glad you went.

Really great experience! SO and I came here to skydive after getting the really cheap Groupon deals of $ 129/​tandem jump at 13,000 feet. So let me talk about the experience (which was totally a 5 star experience) and then the reason I’m giving an overall 4 star rating (wait time).
The experience was fantastic. My instruction, Brian, was a super cool dude who made me feel so at ease during the entire process. He introduced himself, walked me through the process, talked me through everything I needed to do, told me when we were going to jump, and did a couple of cool corkscrew spins when we were parachuting down. It was a super quick experience (you’re free falling for 30 seconds maybe) before they pull the parachute and you start drifting down. One of my favorite parts of the experience was actually the 10 – 15 min airplane ride to get up to the drop site — it’s a pretty picturesque flight and you get to see the sprawling suburbs of Sacramento which I thought was lovely. Anyways, I felt really safe during the entire experience and found it to be pretty fun.
The minus one star for me is the wait time. I think the tricky thing is you don’t really know when you’re going to be late, etc, for these things, but we showed up for our 4 pm appointment and didn’t jump until 6pm. Finished jumping probably around 6:30pm. But it’s a 2 hour wait in the Sacramento summertime heat which is pretty rough. I get needing to queue people up a bit early, but I would have felt a bit better about a 1 hour wait. 2 hours is pretty grim to just be sitting around waiting.
All in all, I found it to be a pretty fun experience and definitely worth the money. Not sure I’d go again since it’s like ecstasy for 1 min, but definitely fun. Highly recommend this place if it’s your first time going.
tldr; great place to do tandem skydiving!

It was my best friend and I’s first time skydiving and Skydive Sacramento was an awesome place to do it!
My best friend and I found a groupon, so our jump per person was $ 129. We called ahead to make sure everything was still a go, and they confirmed everything was set. If you have a groupon take a screenshot of it before hand or have it printed because service out there is kind of unreliable.
WHAT TO WEAR:
Wear athletic clothing appropriate to the weather conditions of the day you jump. They don’t provide jumpsuits or anything, so you want to be comfortable jumping in what you go in. I jumped during summer, so it was blazing hot. I wore running shorts, a tank top, and converse. However, I would probably wear cropped leggings next time because the harness was irritating my thighs.
WHAT TO BRING:
If you jump during the summer when it’s hot BRING WATER. They don’t have water fountains and when we went their vending machines were broken. The place is super hot and you can get dehydrated while waiting. Leave valuables in your car. They do not have lockers for you to store your bags. The only thing they will hold for you is your keys at the front desk.
THE PROCESS:
When we first arrived we checked in at the front desk. They weighed us to see if we were under 200 lbs because if you’re over you have to pay extra to jump. After that they gave us our waivers and sent us to a room to fill out the papers and watch a informational video. If you want to get pictures and video there is a separate form you have to fill out. Video only is $ 99, pictures only are $ 99, video and pictures are $ 125. However, when we went the picture are video package was $ 89 debit/​$ 99 credit because the instructor you’re strapped to during your jump is the one recording it with the gopro on his arm. Compared to having a second person jumping and recording you.
After you fill out the papers you go back to the front and give them your forms and pay for your jump and videos/​pics. Then they send you to the hanger to wait for your instructors. We waited about 30 min. for our instructors because they were refueling the plane and prepping the shoots I believe. While we waited we chatted with several jumpers who just returned and they told us how awesome it was, which made us more excited! Paul chatted it up with us and told how he got into sky diving and explained all the different types of sky diving there are. He was super nice and such a cool dude. My instructor was Brian and he was awesome! Explained the instructions to me very concise and clear! He made conversation with me, which helped with my nerves and keep my mind off the jump. Once everything was ready, we loaded up in the car and we drove to the plane.
The plane is tiny. It’s no fancy piece of work, it may look janky on the inside, but it’s safe. The flight to 13,000 ft is long and you will be crammed. Once you reach the altitude, the open the door and you’re ready to jump!
Everything happens so fast, but the feeling is amazing! You feel so free and it feels like you’re flying. Brian was an amazing instructor. I felt absolutely safe with him. He honestly tripled or quadrupled check my harness before we jumped. He was instructing me on the way down, reminding me to smile at the camera, put my arms out and feet back, and overall just have a good time. When he released the parachute you kind of get pulled back pretty hard. He let me take control of the parachute on the way down, which was awesome. Our landing super smooth, we did not fall and eat dirt haha. Honestly, listen to your instructor and ask questions if you have any and you will be fine. Brian was super sweet, informative, and a great instructor to have for my first jump. He really made my experience memorable. =)
I would highly recommend this place to first timers. The staff is amazing and friendly. Please keep in mind, they are constantly getting calls, and right now during summer it is ridiculously hot out there for them. So be patient and do your part to cooperate with them they are really doing their best to make sure you’re safe and you get your moneys worth.
