From Krakow: Indoor Skydiving Lesson with Private Transfer
Imagine defying gravity without ever leaving the ground. That’s exactly what you get with this indoor skydiving experience in Katowice, which includes private transport from Krakow. For $329 per person, you’ll spend roughly three hours immersed in this adrenaline-pumping activity, guided by experienced instructors.
What we love about this adventure is how safely it’s set up — with professional supervision, safety nets, and hygienic gear. Plus, the chance to fly in a glass-walled wind tunnel makes it visually stunning for both participants and spectators. On the flip side, it’s a relatively short session, with only about 3 minutes of actual flying, which might leave some craving more.
This experience is ideal for thrill-seekers, curious travelers eager to try something new, or anyone looking for a memorable story to tell. If you’re comfortable with heights, enjoy physical activity, and want a taste of free-fall without jumping from a plane, this is a fantastic option.

Diving into the Experience: What You Can Expect
This adventure starts with a prompt notification the day before your scheduled flight, giving you the pick-up time from your Krakow address. The drive to Katowice takes about an hour — a comfortable journey that often passes quickly as you pore over the excitement ahead. The scenery along the way is typical Polish countryside, nothing extraordinary but pleasant enough for a short trip.
Once you arrive at Flyspot, the indoor skydiving facility, you’re welcomed into a clean, professional environment. You’ll be provided with a special jumpsuit (which is washed daily) and undergo a brief safety briefing. Here, you’ll meet your instructor, who will explain how to position your body for optimal flight and ensure you’re comfortable with the process.
The core of the experience is two flight sessions of 1.5 minutes each, separated by a quick rest. Despite the short duration, don’t underestimate the physical effort involved — maintaining the correct posture in the wind tunnel requires muscle engagement and focus. You’ll be told that this is a workout in disguise, and many participants find their arms and core muscles surprisingly sore afterward.
Throughout your flight, the instructor is right there, guiding you and making sure you’re in the correct position. The wind speeds can reach up to 330 km/h, simulating the sensation of a real freefall. For those nervous about heights, the glass tunnel offers reassurance — you can see outside and share the experience with friends or family watching from the gallery.
Once you finish your flights, the fun continues with a short debrief. Your instructor might give you some tips for future skydiving endeavors and encourage you to download or receive a video of your flight — a fun keepsake of your airborne adventure.
The Logistics and Practicalities
The booking process is straightforward but requires advance planning, as this activity is must-book to secure your spot. The private transfer included helps eliminate the hassle of navigating public transport or renting a car. You’ll be picked up in Krakow roughly 1.5 hours before your scheduled flight, arriving 30 minutes early to suit up and prepare.
The duration of the entire experience is about three hours, including travel, briefing, flying, and post-flight review. The cost of $329 might seem high, but considering the safety, professional instruction, private transport, and memorable souvenir, it offers good value for an adrenaline-filled morning or afternoon.
This activity is not suitable for pregnant women, people with mobility issues, heart problems, or those afraid of heights. The weight limit of 130 kg (287 lbs) is also worth noting, as the equipment and safety protocols require such restrictions.
What’s Included and What’s Not
Included in the price are the transfer, the special jumpsuit, the short training, two flights in the wind tunnel, a brief review session, and the option to download your flight video. Food and drinks are not included, so plan to grab a meal before or after your adventure.
Since the experience takes place in an indoor facility, there’s no need to worry about weather — it’s all controlled inside the wind tunnel. The activity is available in English, making it accessible for international travelers.
