Tandem Skydive in Sapareva Banya — 4,000 m

A tandem skydive in Sapareva Banya from 4,000 metres combines two distinct experiences: a scenic aircraft flight and a tandem jump over Rila. The offer presents 4,000 metres as the new maximum jump altitude at this location. In suitable weather, the flight route passes over the Seven Rila Lakes; that particular view is not guaranteed.

The climb above the mountains

The experience begins in the aircraft. As you climb, Rila's slopes and peaks gradually come into view and anticipation builds with every change in perspective. Take-off and landing are at Sapareva Banya Airfield, making the aircraft flight and the jump parts of one adventure.

No previous experience is needed. You receive a short theoretical briefing before the jump and fly in tandem with a licensed professional instructor. A jumpsuit, harness, goggles and protective equipment are provided. Certified equipment is used and the applicable safety standards are followed.

From freefall to parachute flight

Once you reach 4,000 metres, the most dynamic stage begins: around 60 seconds of freefall, reaching approximately 240 km/h. The greater altitude gives you time to experience the speed and changing perspective before the instructor opens the parachute.

The pace then changes. A gentler descent under the open canopy lets you take in the mountain slopes and peaks, adding a quieter dimension to the adrenaline of the jump. The scenic flight, freefall and parachute descent follow one another, each with a different feel. A branded gift is also included.

Choose optional premium filming

Premium filming can be added to your jump. It is an optional extra, not an automatically included service. It combines video and photographs taken by an operator with footage from the instructor's hand-mounted camera, capturing your reaction as well as the mountain backdrop.

With the premium option, you receive:

• Between 7 and 10 video clips.
• Up to 40 photographs.
• The material as raw, unedited files.

You can edit the footage to suit your preferences; a finished edited film is not listed as part of the option. Choose an Adventico voucher for a tandem skydive in Sapareva Banya and give an experience that combines mountain views, movement and a different perspective on Rila.
