Where to go skydiving in Ontario
Wasaga Beach
These skydiving operators provide tandem skydive opportunities for first-timers, where you make the jump along with an experienced instructor, as well as skydiving courses that will eventually allow you to jump solo, if you so dare.
In addition to the descend of your life, various parachuting locations offer incredible views of Ontario’s natural treasures from a fresh perspective, including the Great Lakes, Niagara Escarpment and Algonquin Provincial Park.
So, shake off those pre-jump jitters and cross skydiving off your bucket list!

iFly is an indoor skydiving simulation facility that is perfect for beginners who are a little uncertain about diving from great heights. This experience is more affordable and less unnerving than a traditional outdoor skydiving experience and helps you get comfortable with the feeling of free-fall.
This is also a great option for kids who are too young to dive from a plane—kids as young as four years old are welcome to experience zero gravity. iFly even offers Bodyflight classes to explore the athleticism of indoor freefall.
iFly also operates a second location in Whitby, east of Toronto.
