Be cautious - changing dates AFTER confirmation and refusing refund.
I booked the skydiving for dec 30th and then after collecting my passport and weight, getting a confirmation and then waiting for a while, they inform me that I need to move my reservation to the 29th. I won’t even be in Dubai on the 29th. I paid a premium for the 30th as it’s closest to new years and the prices were higher but now they won’t refund me and are only offering me to pay the same rate and go in the new year on dates that I’m not even available. It’s a complete scam. Be careful!
Response from the operator: Dear Adventure46248017579, We apologize for the inconvenience you have faced and trust us we never had the intention of making you go through this . However, you can send us a mail at guestservices@orienttours.ae. Best Regards, Ms. Noor Ghei Guest Relations Executive Oreint Tours LLC

Tandem Skydive experience in Dubai: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Tandem Skydive experience in Dubai cost?
+
Prices start at $929 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dubai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Tandem Skydive experience in Dubai take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 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 Dubai is not rushed.
Is Tandem Skydive experience in Dubai worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 38 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Dubai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tandem Skydive experience in Dubai?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Tandem Skydive experience in Dubai suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tandem Skydive experience in Dubai?
+
Around 2 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 Dubai 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 Dubai and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tandem Skydive experience in Dubai 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 Dubai 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 Dubai?
+
On Outty we rank every Dubai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dubai Premium Red Dunes Safari, Camels & 5* BBQ at Al Khayma Camp, Dubai: Red Dunes Safari, Quad, Camel, Dune Bash, BBQ & Shows, Dubai Evening Desert Safari Dune Bashing, BBQ Dinner & Live Shows. 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 Dubai?
+
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 Dubai?
+
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 Tandem Skydive experience in Dubai?
+
Included: Private Pick up from your Hotel ( only if option selected); 20 minutes ( approximate ) ride up in the aircraft 13,000 feet ( 4,000m); Photos and a professionally edited video of the skydive; Safety briefing; and 4 – 5 minutes parachute ride.

What languages is Tandem Skydive experience in Dubai offered in?
+
