Sunset Scenic Flight + High-Altitude Parachute Return
One unforgettable evening over Amelia Island: a 20-minute sightseeing flight that becomes a high-altitude parachute glide back to a beachside cheese & Champagne picnic at sunset.
Why this experience
If you want the best of Amelia Island from above and a cinematic finish, this one-way scenic flight with a
high-altitude parachute return is it. We launch from KFHB, trace the island’s most photogenic
landmarks, climb to jump altitude, and you and your instructor float back under canopy toward the shoreline as the sky turns gold.
After touchdown, a chilled cheese & Champagne basket (sparkling cider available) waits on the sand.
What’s included
- 20-minute scenic flight: Fort Clinch jetties, Amelia Island Lighthouse, NaNa Dune/American Beach, and the downtown waterfront—kept within ~10 miles for maximum views.
- High-altitude tandem skydive: extended, scenic canopy time (often up to ~20 minutes when winds/altitude allow) with a gentle, photo-worthy descent.
- Sunset timing: we target golden hour for the jump and landing.
- Beachside picnic: artisanal cheeses, fruit & crackers, and Champagne (21+) or sparkling cider—served after landing.
- Photos welcome: bring your phone/camera; pro media packages available on request.
