THIS VALENTINE'S GIFT FOR HER
GUARANTEES THE “O” FACE

If you’re looking for a Valentine’s gift for her that actually stands out, Skydive Santa Cruz has the only Valentine’s gift that starts with a scream and ends with a high. We turn first-time jumps into lifelong memories, making skydiving the perfect way to start the launch sequence for your Valentine’s Day. Skydiving is an unforgettable, adrenaline-pumping experience that can be the perfect foreplay for the rest of your Valentine’s Day plans.

Take Her Breath Away with the Gift of Freefall

Forget the usual ‘I love you’—skydiving says it with its action. Picture this: you and your Valentine, strapped in and holding tight, hearts pounding, as you fly above the stunning Santa Cruz beaches on a private flight. Then, in one insane moment, you jump. Nothing floods the body with dopamine like a freefall—and nothing closes the deal better than a shared rush. It’s not just an adrenaline hit; it’s the kind of experience that’ll make her want to skip dinner and go straight to the after party. 

A skydive is the ultimate Valentine’s gift for her because it’ll leave her on fire, buzzing with energy and craving more of the kind of experiences that get her excited. But it’s not just about the rush of freefall; it’s about what you’ll share in that moment. Skydiving together pushes you both outside your comfort zones, turning up the chemistry and setting the stage for a connection that’s as intense as the freefall itself. It’s the kind of adventure that’ll make everything feel more real and take your relationship to a new level. We’re not saying it’s going to get you lucky, but damn, it’s a solid start. 

Some Advice for First Timers 

Skydiving is like that first date kiss: thrilling, a little nerve-wracking, but the start of something unforgettable. At Skydive Santa Cruz, our expert instructors are your ultimate wingmen. They’ll talk you both through any pre-jump jitters, keep the energy high during an epic aerial tour, and then send you into jaw-dropping freefall from 10,000 feet (or more). Afterward, you can tell everyone you joined the mile-high club. No, not THAT one—but hey, we’re working on it. 

Here are some tips to help you prepare:

• Plan: Call ahead to schedule your exclusive skydiving experience or to discuss any special requirements for your skydiving date. Space is limited!

• Dress Comfortably: Remember that skydiving is a sport, so it’s best to dress in clothes that will move with you. This isn’t the date for dresses or heels.

• Leave Early: Avoid any unnecessary stress and depart early to be on time for your reservation. You’ll need to complete some quick but necessary paperwork.

• Safety First: We only hire professional, nationally certified, experienced instructors with a proven safety record. All safety gear is provided for you. Safety gear is inspected before each skydive, and each step of the process is explained in detail so you can relax and focus on your date. Rest assured; we are as passionate about safety as you are about your date.

• Capture the Memories: Don’t forget to add a Video & Picture package! This is one date you can show your kids someday.

Planning Your Valentine’s Day Skydive (i.e., What to Expect)

Now that you understand how exhilarating a skydiving date will be, here are a few things to keep in mind to help manage your day and what to expect. 

Schedule and Timing

A typical skydiving experience at Skydive Santa Cruz can last anywhere from 2 to 4 hours, including the initial briefing, gearing up, flight, jump, and post-jump celebrations. It’s a good idea to schedule your jump early in the day to avoid afternoon winds and leave ample time for other romantic activities around the area. Ella’s at the Airport is located on the Watsonville Airport if you need to grab something to eat or drink while you are here. 

Is This a Surprise Valentine’s Gift for Her? 

If this tandem skydive is a surprise, make sure your partner is adventure-ready without giving away the secret. You could say she needs to be ready for a day of exploring Santa Cruz and ensure both of you are dressed appropriately and prepared for an active day. Remember, all participants must sign a waiver, so consider how to handle this detail (make sure she brings her valid government-issued I.D.)

Weather Conditions

Check with us the day prior or morning of your planned skydive since skydiving is weather dependent. Clear skies, low-moderate winds and mild temperatures are perfect for jumping. Conditions at the skydiving center might differ from your home base or location, so it’s crucial to check with us. Skydive Santa Cruz will communicate delays as we become aware, and we try to be flexible if weather impacts the scheduled day.

Why Skydiving Will Sweep Her Off Her Feet

Chocolates are basic, flowers wilt, and candlelit dinners are so “just another Tuesday.” Adventures and experiences, especially skydiving, are the new sexy. It’s daring, different, and it lets her know she’s your ride or die. Whether it’s holding hands at 10,000 feet in the air or cozying up on the ground, here are a few more reasons it’ll make her swoon: 

• Private and Intimate: As a smaller skydive center, our experience is naturally more personal. Just you, your girl, and—okay, fine—your instructors. No ten-person circus of strangers. With required reservations, our focus stays on you two. She’ll feel like you went all out to give her the VIP treatment she deserves!
  

• Shared Experience: A mutual adrenaline rush turns up the heat, and she’ll feel even closer to you. After that, well—that’s all on you, my friend.

• Life Trust Fall: Skydiving together is a promise that you’re there for each other during the literal highs and lows.

After Jump-Starting Valentine’s Day Romance

After you’ve both floated back to earth, here are a few activities and Valentine's gifts for her to keep the adventure going all weekend long:

1. Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk: No awkward silences this Valentine’s; just nonstop fun as you take in the sights and sounds. And after skydiving, those roller coasters will feel like a kiddie ride.
   
   
2. Beginner Surf Lessons: It’s the motion in the ocean that counts as you continue making memories this Valentine’s Day. Work on mastering your rhythm as you both learn to surf.
   
   
3. Wilderness and Survival Clinic: Maybe you want to audition with your partner on Naked and Afraid, or you’re lost because you refused to stop and ask for directions. Learning these survival skills will surely come in handy.

Skydive Santa Cruz: The Valentine’s Gift She’ll Never See Coming

Ditch the predictable gifts. Your Valentine craves adventure, not another box of chocolates. A couple’s tandem skydive turns up the excitement and guarantees a day you’ll both be talking about for years. But don’t wait because spaces are always in high demand during Valentine’s weekend and tend to fill up faster than you can say ‘O-M-G’. 

Lock in the best Valentine’s gift for her by booking your jump today and give her a gift that actually takes her breath away (in the best way possible).
