Gyro Flight vs. Tandem Skydiving: Which Adventure is Right for You?

At Big Island Gravity Skydiving, we offer two of the most thrilling aerial adventures you can experience: Gyro Flight and Tandem Skydiving. Each offers a unique set of thrills and perspectives on the beautiful landscapes of the Big Island. If you're trying to decide which adventure is right for you, here's a detailed comparison to help guide your choice.

What is Gyro Flight? A gyro flight involves flying in a gyrocopter, a smaller type of rotorcraft that offers incredible agility and visibility. Unlike helicopters, gyrocopters are known for their simplicity and safety, making them perfect for scenic flights. You'll sit alongside an experienced pilot who will guide the craft over breathtaking views and even let you try your hand at the controls.

Benefits of Gyro Flight:

• Stability and Safety: Gyrocopters are extremely stable and safe due to their aerodynamic properties.

• Panoramic Views: The open design allows for unobstructed views of the surrounding scenery.

• Hands-On Experience: Learn the basics of piloting during your flight for a truly interactive experience.

  
  

What is Tandem Skydiving? Tandem skydiving involves jumping out of an airplane from around 13,000 feet, securely attached to a certified instructor. It’s a fast-paced, adrenaline-pumping experience that offers a few minutes of freefall followed by a peaceful parachute descent.

Benefits of Tandem Skydiving:

• Adrenaline Rush: Experience the ultimate thrill of freefalling at speeds up to 120 mph.

• Spectacular Views: From freefall to canopy, enjoy incredible views of the island.

• No Experience Necessary: You’ll be guided by an expert, making it accessible even for first-timers.

  
  

Which Adventure Should You Choose?

• Seeking Serenity and Control? Choose Gyro Flight: If you prefer a more controlled and serene experience where you can enjoy views and learn a bit about flying, gyro flight is your best bet.

• Looking for an Adrenaline Boost? Go for Tandem Skydiving: If your main goal is to experience an adrenaline rush and challenge your limits, tandem skydiving will deliver that in spades.
