Skydive Cebu is the Philippines' only USPA International Affiliate dropzone, operating year-round from Bantayan Island off Cebu's north-west coast. Tandems jump from 10,000 ft over the island's white-sand coastline and turquoise shallows; the canopy descent overlooks Santa Fe and the surrounding fringing reef before final approach onto a coastal landing zone. Instructors are USPA-certified and operate FAA-approved tandem parachute systems — the same standards applied at US dropzones. Three package tiers cover the offering. Tandem (₱24,000) is the entry-level jump; Premium (₱27,000) adds an outside-camera flyer for third-person video; and the Premium Package with private transfer from Cebu City (₱39,500) wraps the experience in a Friday–Sunday all-inclusive bundle. A ₱3,000 weight surcharge applies above 90 kg up to a 100 kg ceiling. Hand-cam media is included with most tiers; the outside-camera upgrade gives the cinematic third-person angle most first-timers want. The right jump for travellers anchoring to Cebu City or Bohol on a Visayas circuit, for couples and small groups wanting a beach-landing tandem rather than a desert or mountain backdrop, and for anyone specifically seeking the FAA/USPA standard within the Philippines. Skydive Siquijor — run by the same operator from neighbouring Siquijor Island — is the sister jump if you're moving south through the Visayas; both operations share equipment, certification, and pricing structure. On Google the operation holds 4.9 across its review base, consistent with the operator pair's standing across the Visayas. Bantayan's ferry link runs via Hagnaya in northern Cebu — about four hours door-to-door from the city — which is exactly the gap the private-transfer bundle is built to close.
Check in, weigh in, sign the USPA-standard waiver. Twenty minutes of harness fitting and emergency-procedure briefing with your tandem master.
Bench-seated, headphones on, door closed. The aircraft climbs to 10,000 ft — the coastline or landscape shrinks under you.
Door open. Roll out. Terminal velocity. Tandem master triggers the canopy at 5,000 ft.
Calm five-minute ride down. You take the toggles for a minute. Grass landing at the airfield.
Make the day longer than the jump.

“If the dropzone can’t fly for safety or weather, you’re rebooked at no charge — or refunded in full to your original card. No customer-side surcharge.”
Operator-confirmed aircraft.
Liability waiver signed on the day. We send a copy ahead so you can read it before you commit — no mid-day surprises.
Cancellation & policies.
Cancellations and date changes are arranged directly with the dropzone — message them anytime, and SiA steps in if needed.
Skydiving is weather-dependent. If the dropzone can't fly safely they'll reschedule you at no charge — or arrange a full refund if a new date doesn't suit.
Approved refunds are returned to your original payment method, typically within 5–10 business days. The dropzone confirms the timing.
After booking you’ll be in direct contact with the dropzone — any change or refund is arranged with them. SiA’s team is here if you need us.
Eight real anxieties, addressed.
Tandem operators set their own weight limit (commonly around 90–115 kg) and confirm borderline cases on the day — check the exact limit with this dropzone when you enquire. AFF students have no upper limit but must fit the rig comfortably.
Mae Tormala★★★★★a year agoThe experience was absolutely amazing! I got to visit the Philippines and I happened to go to bantayan island and I went out on a whim and decided “let me go sky dive” It was my first time. I was super nervous but excited! The instructor was helpful in everything. I believe I had Felipe. Everyone on the team was super nice and it was the best time ever. The free fall was insane. It’s such an unreal feeling I can’t describe. But definitely do it!!! Seeing the island and the waters surrounding it was absolutely wonderful.
Alyzhia Braine Agbayani★★★★★2 years agoTotally at a loss for words when jumping out of the plane for the first time. The experience was full of rollercoaster emotions and definitely one for the books. Big thanks to Skydive Cebu team for helping me tick off my #1 bucket list item and making my first jump so unforgettable. Will definitely try this again! PS: Thanks for the free coconut. Feeling super dehydrated from all the screaming up there 😂
Camille Puget★★★★★a year agoWow, what an incredible experience! My skydive with Skydive Santa Fe was absolutely unforgettable, and I have Karl to thank for making it all so perfect. From start to finish, I felt completely at ease under his expert instruction. He was calm, clear, and thorough, making sure I understood everything before we jumped. His professionalism and attention to detail gave me so much confidence. The actual skydive was a rush like no other — the view over Santa Fe was stunning, and the freefall was exhilarating! I truly felt safe and well taken care of the entire time. If you’re looking to skydive in Cebu, Karl is definitely the instructor you want and the entire team is lovely. It was the best experience I’ve had, and I can’t wait to do it again! Highly recommend Skydive Santa Fe - Cebu!
Airfield gate — operator shares the exact pin and driving directions in the inquiry reply. Bantayan Island is the customer-facing hub.
Most jumpers drive or use Grab/Bolt. Free on-site parking. Plan a 2-hour buffer before your manifest slot for traffic + check-in.
Block 3–4 hours on site for tandem (briefing + climb + jump + canopy). AFF students should plan a full day.
