Skydive Golden Gate, Novato

About Skydive Golden Gate

Skydive Golden Gate in Novato offers tandem skydiving experiences over the San Francisco Bay Area. Visitors board an aircraft and ascend to two miles altitude before exiting to freefall above the region's landmarks, including Angel Island, Alcatraz, and the Golden Gate Bridge, with views extending across the Northern California coastline, the Pacific Ocean, and Sonoma and Napa Valley vineyards. Experienced and professional instructors guide each jumper through the freefall and subsequent parachute descent, landing safely back at Marin County Airport. The operation maintains state-of-the-art parachute systems and a fleet of aircraft that receives extensive maintenance. Skydive Golden Gate is the only skydiving facility within 25 miles of San Francisco, positioned 24 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge and halfway between San Francisco and Napa Valley. The family-owned business operates as a local Bay Area enterprise.
