12,467 FT · 60 SECKorea's primary commercial dropzone.
Skydive Korea operates from Chungju-si in North Chungcheong Province — about two hours south-east of Seoul by road, and the country's primary commercial dropzone. Tandems jump from 3,800 m (12,467 ft) over Chungju Lake with around 60 seconds of freefall at ~200 km/h, followed by a canopy ride with the lake and the surrounding mountains in view. The operator is a listed USPA Group Member (account 340494), placing the operation on the same accreditation standard as Skydive Dubai and Skydive Cebu. Operations run weekends and public holidays only — a practical constraint of Korean airspace allocation and instructor availability. Reservations close by Monday of the jump week, so spontaneous booking isn't realistic; plan three to seven days in advance. The dropzone also runs an Accelerated Free Fall licensing programme for residents and visitors pursuing a USPA A-licence. A typical tandem day runs about three hours including travel from the dropzone facility to the airfield. The right jump for Seoul-based travellers who can dedicate a weekend day to Chungju, for visitors building a Korea itinerary including Chungju (or pairing the jump with nearby attractions in the Chungbuk region), and for licensing-track students seeking the only Korean USPA-pathway AFF programme. Skydive Korea is the only credible commercial tandem operation on the Korean peninsula — travellers wanting urban indoor bodyflight should look outside Korea to AltitudeX Singapore, iFly Shenzhen, or the Dubai indoor cluster. Tandem pricing starts at ₩760,000, and the operation holds a 4.7 Google rating across its review base. Chungju Lake is at its most photogenic in October foliage season — the same weeks domestic demand peaks, so book the moment trip dates firm up.

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.
Cancellations on the same day are non-refundable. Refunds are based on jump date, not payment date. Cancellations due to weather or air traffic are 100% refundable. Cancellations for personal reasons are non-refundable.
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.
Keesan Beverly★★★★★9 months ago10/10 would recommend!! The entire staff was friendly and professional! The instructors are very knowledgeable. I had the best experience in my life! Cant wait to do it again... and again!
Matt Douma★★★★★5 years agoWonderful place! First time that I've been skydiving, and I loved it. I felt safe the entire time. Many of the skydivers are former military, and very well trained! Aside from a few old timers that seemed to bark and scream , everyone else was extremely professional. I want to go back! They also have a 3day course for around 4.5 million won, where you can become certified and jump solo.
Janith Dissanayake★★★★★5 years agoIt was a great experience.. One of the best experiences of my life! A must try! The staff was pretty friendly!
Airfield gate — operator shares the exact pin and driving directions in the inquiry reply. Chungju is the customer-facing hub.
Most jumpers drive or use Kakao T. Parking and transfer arrangements vary by airfield — the operator confirms specifics in the inquiry reply. Plan a 2-hour buffer before your manifest slot for traffic and check-in.
Block 3–4 hours on site for tandem (briefing + climb + jump + canopy). AFF students should plan a full day.
