Tandem jump with Skydive Tønsberg

Ready to see Tønsberg from above? At Skydive Tønsberg, based at Jarlsberg Airport, you can experience a tandem skydive or take a course to learn skydiving yourself. Enjoy the thrill of freefall with an experienced instructor and sweeping views across the Oslofjord and Tønsberg archipelago.

Experience freefall from 4,000 metres

During a tandem skydive, you're securely attached to an instructor who manages the parachute and guides you through the experience.

After a flight of approximately 10–12 minutes, you'll jump from around 4,000 metres. Experience about 40 seconds of freefall at speeds of up to 200 km/h before your instructor opens the parachute at approximately 1,500 metres. The parachute descent takes around five minutes, giving you time to enjoy the views across Tønsberg, the fjord and the surrounding countryside.

What to expect on the day

When you arrive, check in at reception, receive information about your jump and complete a short briefing with your instructor. You'll be provided with a jumpsuit and the necessary safety equipment. Wear comfortable clothing suitable for the weather and trainers with laces. Allow at least 1–3 hours for your visit. Skydiving depends on suitable weather conditions, so delays or postponements may occur.
