What Phoenix Says About Skydive Arizona
As a Phoenix local, you might be used to a weekend at the Desert Botanical Garden or a sunset at Papago Park. You know Arizona’s top destinations. But did you know you can elevate the view? Literally and figuratively.
The Sonoran Desert looks completely different when you are jumping from a plane. From altitude, the desert stretches wide beneath you, the rugged mountain ranges seem small, and the sunlit earth unfolds in every direction.
There is nothing quite like seeing Arizona from 13,000 feet. At Skydive Arizona, the desert opens up in every direction, turning a familiar landscape into something bigger and impossible to forget. It is a side of Arizona that even locals rarely get to see: vast, open, and adventurous.
Just an hour south of Phoenix, you will find our drop zone, Skydive Arizona, in Eloy. Wondering if it’s worth the drive? Definitely yes! For many Phoenix locals, it is an easy day trip. Close enough for a spontaneous weekend adventure, but far enough to feel like you have left the usual routine behind.

Tandem Skydiving Phoenix
Ready to feel the rush? Not the kind of rush you feel at Chase Field when you think your favorite player isn’t getting to the base. Tandem skydiving is your entry point to a new type of rush.
After a quick briefing and gear-up, you’ll climb to 13,000 feet in one of our turbine aircraft. As the Phoenix Valley and desert sprawl out below, you’ll feel the anticipation build.
Then—the door opens. You and your instructor step out into a 60-second freefall, hitting speeds of over 120 mph before your parachute opens. The canopy ride is a chance to catch your breath and soak up the Arizona landscape before landing back at the drop zone.
For Phoenix locals looking to break out of the usual routine, Eloy delivers a completely different kind of Arizona day.
