We have chosen to stop offering skydiving from 6 km / 20,000 feet at Dropzone Denmark.
This is a decision we have made after a long period of consideration, and the reason is quite simple: We only want to offer products where we can be 100% confident in both the experience, the equipment, and the flow surrounding the jump.
Skydiving from 6 km requires oxygen equipment, because you reach an altitude where regular tandem jumps can no longer be conducted in the same way as jumps from 2 km or 4.5 km.
The oxygen equipment we had for 6 km jumps unfortunately did not work as optimally as we would have liked it to. We have spent time investigating whether we could find a better solution for this type of jump, but we have concluded that 6 km is no longer the right product for us to offer.
Instead, we will focus on what we know works very well: our HALO skydive from 7.6 km / 25,000 feet.
When we jump from 7.6 km / 25,000 feet, we use specially developed oxygen equipment for high altitude skydiving from the HALO2SKYDIVE team.
This is equipment that has been specifically developed for this type of jump, and in our assessment, it is the best solution on the market for high altitude skydiving.
Therefore, it makes much more sense for us to base our high altitude product around the HALO skydive, where the whole setup is built around precisely that type of jump.
HALO is not just “a bit higher than a normal tandem jump.” It is a very special experience that requires extra preparation, specialized equipment, oxygen, a different setup, and a team that specifically works with high altitude jumps.
Another important reason for the decision is that 6 km jumps require more preparation than jumps from 2 km and 4.5 km.
When we have had 6 km tandem jumps mixed into a regular jump day, it has affected the flow quite a bit. It takes longer, requires more coordination, and disrupts the way we can normally carry out tandem jumps effectively.
That doesn’t mean we won’t be doing high altitude jumps – quite the opposite.
But instead of having 6 km jumps spread out over regular days, we now choose to concentrate our high altitude activity into specific periods where we have full focus on HALO jumps.
In this way, we can plan better, assemble the right team, use the right equipment, and give guests the experience that high altitude skydiving deserves.
Although we stop at 6 km, we will of course continue with our regular tandem skydives from:
These jumps are still the core of our tandem activity, and they provide amazing experiences for both first-time jumpers and guests returning for another round.
A jump from 4.5 km still offers plenty of free fall, stunning views, and the full tandem experience that most of our guests know us for.
In the future, our tandem products will be more clearly divided:
We believe that this provides a better and more honest product structure. Instead of offering a mid-product that requires a lot of extra setup without being the full HALO experience, we now focus on the jumps where we can deliver the best experience from start to finish.
We stop at 6 km because we do not believe that it is the right product for us any longer.
We would rather offer fewer products that we can fully stand by, than to offer something that does not work optimally in practice.
So going forward, it will be:
And we look forward to continuing to provide our guests with fantastic experiences in the sky – whether it is their first jump from 2 km, the classic jump from 4.5 km, or the big HALO experience from 25,000 feet.
A tandem jump is the easiest way to try skydiving. You jump together with a professional tandem instructor, who is responsible for the equipment, free fall, parachute, and landing.
You need no experience to make a tandem jump. Before the jump, you receive a thorough briefing so you know what to expect and how to behave in the plane, during free fall, and at landing.
At Dropzone Denmark, we offer tandem jumps from:
We no longer offer tandem jumps from 6 km / 20,000 feet.
It depends on the experience you want.
2 km / 6,000 feet is a good choice if you want to try a tandem jump but prefer a shorter and simpler experience. You still get the flight, the jump from the plane, and the feeling of gliding under the parachute.
4.5 km / 15,000 feet is our most popular tandem jump and the classic choice for most people. Here you get more free fall, more time in the air, and the full tandem experience.
7.6 km / 25,000 feet HALO skydive - Europe's highest civilian parachute jump, is for you if you want the biggest and most extreme experience we offer. It is a high altitude skydive with extra preparation, oxygen equipment, and significantly longer free fall.
The prices at Dropzone Denmark are:
HALO skydive from 7.6 km includes Deluxe video package and t-shirt.
The biggest difference is the height and the time in free fall.
A jump from 2 km is a shorter experience, where you still get the feeling of jumping out of the plane and flying under the parachute.
A jump from 4.5 km provides a longer and more complete experience with more free fall. That is why this height is the most chosen when they want to try a classic tandem jump.
HALO stands for High Altitude Low Opening and refers to skydiving from very high altitudes.
At Dropzone Denmark, HALO skydive is our tandem jump from 7.6 km / 25,000 feet. It is our highest tandem experience and requires a special high altitude setup, oxygen equipment, and extra preparation.
During a HALO skydive, we use specially developed oxygen equipment from the HALO2SKYDIVE team, which is specifically designed for high altitude skydiving.
HALO skydive requires much more than a regular tandem jump.
There is extra preparation, particularly oxygen equipment, specialised personnel, more planning, and a different setup around the entire jump. The aircraft also needs to go higher, and the jump requires more time and coordination.
Therefore, HALO skydive is a unique experience that is only held during selected periods.
We have chosen to stop tandem skydives from 6 km / 20,000 feet, because we no longer believe it is the right product for us.
Jumping from 6 km requires oxygen equipment and more preparation than regular tandem skydives. The equipment we previously had for this type of jump did not function as optimally as we wanted.
Instead, we are now focusing on HALO skydiving from 7.6 km, where we use specially developed high altitude equipment and have a setup that is built specifically for this type of jump.
Yes, absolutely.
A tandem skydive from 4.5 km / 15,000 feet is still a huge experience and our most popular choice. You get plenty of freefall, a fantastic view, and the classic feeling of skydiving from a great height.
For the vast majority of guests, 4.5 km is the best choice.
Choose 4.5 km if you want the classic tandem experience with plenty of freefall time and a price that suits most.
Choose HALO skydive from 7.6 km if you want the wildest, highest and most extreme tandem skydive we offer.
If it's your first skydive, 4.5 km is often more than enough. If you've tried tandem jumps before – or if you just want to go all in – HALO is something truly special.
Yes, you can do a HALO tandem skydive as a first-time jumper.
You will still jump with a professional tandem instructor, and you will receive a thorough briefing before the jump. HALO does require more preparation than a regular tandem jump, and there are special procedures regarding oxygen and high altitude setup.
To do a tandem skydive with Dropzone Denmark, you must generally:
If you have any doubts about your health, previous injuries, or physical limitations, we always recommend that you contact us before booking.
Tandem skydives require no previous experience.
You will receive the necessary instruction on the day, and your tandem instructor will handle the jump. You just need to be able to follow the instructions and be physically able to participate.
