Your skydiving adventure starts here!

Make your first tandem skydive with the professionals at the one and only, Skydive Oregon in Molalla.

Since 1988, Skydive Oregon has been offering tandem skydiving from our private airport, near Portland, dedicated exclusively to skydiving. We focus on safety, comfort, and high-altitude tandem jumps, pairing first-time skydivers with experienced instructors every step of the way.

Our modern turbine aircraft takes you to jump altitude quickly, giving you more time to enjoy the views and the thrill of freefall.

Friends and family are always welcome, with our spacious spectator area that lets them watch, cheer, and share in the excitement of your jump.

Thank you for 38 years of memories!
We are taking a year off to refresh.

What is Tandem Skydiving?

A Tandem Skydive is an excellent introduction into the sport of skydiving and is ideal for first-time jumpers, annual enthusiasts, or anyone looking to have a memorable experience.

When you make a Tandem jump with Skydive Oregon, you and your fully licensed Tandem Instructor will share a parachute system designed for two people. Harnessed to your instructor, you will exit the aircraft at an altitude of 14,500 feet (that’s higher than the top of Mt. Hood) and freefall at 120 mph for nearly one minute before opening the parachute. 

We also offer jumps from 18,000 feet for even more freefall!

Following your freefall, you will enjoy a 5-7 minute parachute ride, taking in the spectacular sights of the Willamette Valley and surrounding Cascade Mountains, while descending gently to the landing area.
