Do you want to experience the thrill of skydiving for yourself? Make a tandem jump on Texel! At a height of three kilometers, the door of the plane slides open and you make the jump together with the jumpmaster. During this impressive experience you will enjoy a unique view of Texel and a fantastic adrenaline rush! Even as a beginner you can make a jump immediately after an instruction. About every 25 minutes a plane full of brave jumpers takes off for their first Tandemskydive to 9000' (+/- 3km.) or even to 13,000' (+/- 4 km.). Those who prefer to keep both feet on the ground are welcome to come and have a look at the landing area in front of the Paracentrum or from the terrace of the adjacent restaurant. Opening hours: Open daily from the end of March to October. From November to April it is only possible to make a tandem jump on Saturdays and only if the weather permits. You can book a Tandem Skydive via the website of the Paracentrum Texel: www.paracentrumtexel.nl
