LOOKING FOR A LIFECHANGING THRILL?
Would 10/10 recommend to any thrill seekers who love an adrenaline rush! This was my first time and everything was perfect from start to finish! The whole experience was run so smoothly with very nice people. Very efficient process, took all in all about 1.5 hrs. Small group size, only jumped with 4 other people. My instructor was very knowledgeable and comforting and gave very clear simple instructions. We paid for the external photo package and my videographer was amazing as well, he really set the vibes and brought the energy! Love this place, Skydive Algarve is THE place to choose! The feeling of pure weightlessness is indescribable! Everyone made the experience so enjoyable…I will definitely be skydiving again in my future!!
Response from the operator: Wow, thank you so much for this incredible review! 🪂🧡 We’re thrilled that your first skydive was such an unforgettable experience and that you felt comfortable and well looked after by both your instructor and cameraflyer. It means a lot to hear that you’d recommend Skydive Algarve! 🤩 Thank you for choosing us for your first jump — we’ll be ready to welcome you back for the next one! 🪂🔥

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Algarve Tandem Skydive 15k ft (4600m): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Portimao.
How much does Algarve Tandem Skydive 15k ft (4600m) cost?
+
Prices start at $250 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Portimao usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Algarve Tandem Skydive 15k ft (4600m) take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Portimao is not rushed.
Is Algarve Tandem Skydive 15k ft (4600m) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 315 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Portimao, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Algarve Tandem Skydive 15k ft (4600m)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Algarve Tandem Skydive 15k ft (4600m) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Algarve Tandem Skydive 15k ft (4600m)?
+
Around 110 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Portimao can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Portimao and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Algarve Tandem Skydive 15k ft (4600m) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Portimao within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Portimao?
+
On Outty we rank every Portimao experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Benagil Cave Tour From Armação de Pêra, Exclusive Small Group Kayak Tour to Benagil Caves with 4K Photos, Kayak tour to Benagil Cave and guided by local native. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Portimao?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Portimao?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Algarve Tandem Skydive 15k ft (4600m)?
+
Included: Taxes and handling fees; Tandem Jump Certificate; Use of all required skydiving equipment (jumpsuit, goggles,...); and Branded sunglasses (if video package is added). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
What languages is Algarve Tandem Skydive 15k ft (4600m) offered in?
+
It is offered in Portuguese, English, French, Hebrew, Dutch and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Algarve Tandem Skydive 15k ft (4600m)?
+
