iFLY Indoor Skydiving Experience in Perth

The clever part of iFLY Perth is that you can feel the force of freefall without boarding a plane or jumping from one. A powerful indoor wind tunnel lifts you into the air, while an instructor guides you through the basics. Two flights are included, described as equivalent to three skydives from 12,000 feet.

I like that training and personal instruction are included, so you are not left to puzzle out the technique on your own. I also like the beginner-friendly setup: the venue supplies a flight suit, helmet and goggles, and the minimum age is three.

The trade-off is time in the air. The actual flights are brief, and the experience can feel expensive for just a couple of minutes of flying. Think of it as a compact, memorable activity, not a long session.

• Two flights give you a second try: You can use the first to get used to the wind and the next to improve your position.
• You do not need skydiving experience: A pre-flight lesson and one-on-one instruction are part of the session.
• The full package includes the essentials: Flight gear, admission, training and a personalized certificate are included.
• The standard session is short: The flights themselves last only a few minutes, so plan around the whole visit rather than the time in the tunnel.
• Optional virtual-reality flying is available: Check the package details if you want simulated views of scenic locations.
• Plan your transport to Rivervale: The venue is at 143 Great Eastern Freeway, about a 10-minute drive from Perth CBD.

What Two Indoor Flights Feel Like

iFLY Perth offers a controlled way to experience the sensation of freefall. Instead of jumping from an aircraft, you enter a vertical wind tunnel where moving air supports your body. It is a physical activity, but the instructor is there to help you find a stable position and make small adjustments.

The included package has two indoor flights. The experience is described as equivalent to three skydives from 12,000 feet, which gives you a sense of the freefall comparison, but not the same outing as a real jump. There is no aircraft, parachute descent or outdoor view unless you select the optional virtual-reality package.

The two-flight format is useful for beginners. Your first attempt is likely to be about getting comfortable with the airflow and following directions. Then you can take what you learned into the second flight. It is still a short activity, but a second go gives you more than a one-and-done introduction.

Some people may find the sensation intense at first. The airflow is powerful enough to hold you up, so listening to the instructor matters. You do not need to arrive knowing how to fly, but you should be ready to pay attention, relax your body and follow simple guidance.

From Training Room to Flight Tunnel

Arrive at the Rivervale venue 30 minutes before your scheduled time. That early arrival matters because the session includes pre-flight training and a required Declaration of Risk. The safety information is emailed before the activity and recapped at the venue, so read it in advance rather than trying to rush through it at the door.

After the briefing, you are fitted with the necessary flight gear: a suit, helmet and goggles. You can wear your own glasses, and larger goggles are available to fit over them. Remove loose accessories such as earrings, necklaces, bracelets and watches, and empty your pockets before flying.

The next stage is one-on-one instruction. This is one of the most useful parts of the package, particularly if you are new to the activity. You are not expected to figure out your body position from scratch. Staff guide you through what to do before you enter the tunnel and help you during the flight.

Then comes the main event: your two turns in the wind tunnel. Each flight is brief, so make the most of the time by listening closely and focusing on the instructor’s cues. The session’s pace and exact waiting time are not specified, so avoid scheduling a tight appointment immediately afterward.

A high-flight option has been mentioned by people who have tried the activity, but it is not clear from the standard package details whether it is included or how it is priced. If that extra height interests you, ask iFLY before booking or at the venue rather than assuming it comes with the two-flight package.

At the end, you receive a personalized flight certificate. It is a small but pleasant keepsake, especially for a child or someone marking a first-time experience. Photos and videos may be offered for purchase, so budget extra if you want a record of your flight. They are not listed among the included items.

Is the Virtual-Reality Option Worth Considering?

The standard two-flight package is about the sensation of flying in the tunnel. A virtual-reality flight package adds simulated views of scenic locations, giving you something to look at while you are airborne. It may appeal if the visual side is part of the fun for you, or if you want the session to feel more like an imagined journey.

Do check the package carefully before paying. The described standard inclusions cover two flights, gear, training, personal instruction and a certificate, but do not say that virtual reality is included. Treat it as an optional package unless your booking details clearly state otherwise.

The core experience does not depend on virtual reality. If you are mainly curious about how it feels to be supported by the airflow, the basic package should cover that. If the scenic simulation matters, compare the cost and inclusions rather than expecting it as a free extra.

What the Price Buys, and What It Does Not

The listed price starts at US$80.79, while the Perth summary gives a starting price of $88.85. Prices can vary by currency or package, so check the total shown at checkout. The two-flight package includes the key practical items: admission, rental gear, pre-flight training, one-on-one instruction and a flight certificate.

That makes the price easier to assess than a bare entry ticket. You are paying for supervised instruction and provided equipment, not simply access to a room. For someone who wants to try indoor freefall without arranging a full outdoor skydive, the controlled setting and beginner support are the main value.

Still, the time in the air is short. One person who enjoyed the session felt it was on the expensive side, and noted that the actual experience lasts only a couple of minutes. That is a fair way to judge it: the appeal is a striking, unusual sensation, not a long activity or a bargain hour of entertainment.

Allow for possible extra costs. Photos and videos are available to purchase, and accident or travel insurance is not included. Hotel pickup and drop-off are also not provided, and personal expenses are separate. If you are visiting with a group, decide in advance whether everyone wants to fly or whether some people are happy to watch, since the ticket price applies to participants aged three and up.

Who Will Enjoy iFLY Perth Most?

This suits first-timers, families with children old enough to take part, and anyone curious about the sensation of freefall but not ready to jump from a plane. The minimum age is three, though children aged three to 17 must be accompanied by a paying adult. Children pay the same rate as adults.

It can also work for a short, high-energy activity on a Perth visit. The venue is in Rivervale, roughly a 10-minute drive from the CBD, and operates seven days a week. Weekday hours are 9:00 am to 9:00 pm; weekend hours are 8:30 am to 8:00 pm. Check your chosen session time and leave room for travel and the required early arrival.

It is less suitable if you want a long experience, dislike close instruction, or expect the feel of an actual outdoor skydive. The two flights are brief, and the tunnel offers a controlled simulation rather than a plane jump. People with shoulder, back, neck or heart concerns should consult a doctor first.

The venue is listed as wheelchair- and stroller-accessible, with staff available to assist people with disabilities. If you need specific access support, check the venue’s accessibility information before booking to confirm that the facilities suit your needs.

Getting to Rivervale and Preparing to Fly

The meeting point is 143 Great Eastern Freeway, Rivervale, Perth, WA 6103. From Perth CBD, the drive is about 10 minutes. By train, you can travel to Perth Stadium Station or Claisebrook Station, then take a taxi for about 10 minutes to iFLY. There is no hotel transfer included.

Wear light, comfortable clothing, preferably a shirt without a collar, and lace-up running shoes. Tie back long hair. These simple choices make it easier to wear the provided equipment and follow instructions without loose items getting in the way.

Participants must be able to wear the supplied helmet comfortably. The maximum weight is 136 kg; if you weigh between 116 kg and 136 kg, contact the operator before booking. You must not be pregnant, have a prior shoulder dislocation injury, or be wearing a hard cast. Anyone who appears intoxicated may be refused service without a refund.

You need to complete the Declaration of Risk before taking part. Insurance is not included, so consider accident or travel cover if that matters to you. The voucher is valid only on the date, and time if applicable, shown on your booking. Arrive 30 minutes early: late arrivals and no-shows are not eligible for a refund.

Should You Book This Flight?

Book iFLY Perth if you want a safe, coached introduction to indoor freefall and are happy to pay for a short, unusual activity. The strongest reasons to go are the two attempts, included instruction and approachable format for beginners. Friendly, helpful staff are also a consistent theme in people’s experience, which matters when you are trying something unfamiliar.

Skip it, or compare other activities, if value for you means a long session or if a couple of minutes in the air will feel too brief for the price. Before you commit, check the final price, whether virtual reality or a high-flight option is included, and whether you want to pay extra for photos or video.
