Gypsyfeet Posted February 19, 2011 #1 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Hi all This is our first Princess cruise and they offer an activity on their private island that I have never seen before. It's described as a "skydiving experience", without the jumping out of a plane! Evidently it's a verticle wind tunnel that gives you the sensation of flying/free-falling. This sounds like great fun and we were wondering if any of you have tried it? Is it a real "rush" or a total waste of $$?? Any advice? Thanks a lot!

amykrazy Posted February 23, 2011 #2 Share Posted February 23, 2011 i just read about this option as well. this indoor skydiving is getting a bit more popular these days at least in CA. if the cost is between $75 and $100 for an experience, then it's worth it. anything more than that and it's over priced... i haven't done it yet, but it's on my 'list'... it's supposed to be a lot of fun, without the jumping out of a real plane part :).

doyleb Posted February 23, 2011 #3 Share Posted February 23, 2011 We haven't done the indoor skydiving on Princess Key, but we have done it here in Arizona. It was a blast and we'd do it again in a heartbeat. If the Princess key set up is anything close to the one here in AZ, it's as close as you can get to skydiving without jumping out of a plane!

Thanks for the confirmation! I'm signing up immediately! Can't wait!!! Haven't told my kids yet though......they'll think I've gone mad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5kitty Posted April 17, 2011 #5 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Please let us know how the "sky diving in the wind tunnel" was. My husband is extremely interested in trying this. What was the cost of this? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5kitty Posted June 11, 2011 #6 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Wondering if anyone has had the opportunity to do the "indoor skydiving" on Princess Cays yet? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
don24 Posted June 15, 2011 #7 Share Posted June 15, 2011 you will love it .but when done you will grow to hate the constant whining of the motor as you try to enjoy the tranquilaty of a private island.it is heard over everything you try to do on island.

patseacruiser Posted June 15, 2011 #8 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Having skydived before I can't imagine getting an adrenaline rush out of the vertical wind tunnel but I guess if you have never experienced the adrenaline rush skydiving then it might do. I'm assuming they sell pictures of you since everything is a money making adventure so here's a tip. Keep your mouth shut because when the air gets in your mouth it makes you look like a mutant chipmunk. Of course it's hard to smile with your mouth shut but you'll see what I mean.
