Skydiving for Couples: The Ultimate Romantic Adventure in the Skies
What have skydiving and romance got in common? No, it’s not a trick question. The two both have incredibly strong nervous system responses, causing the body to have very similar emotional feelings.
When leaping from a perfectly good plane (hopefully over a beautiful location, such as Western Australia’s enchanting Rottnest Island), your body responds by increasing the production of the same hormones that make falling in love such a wonderful feeling.
These include:
- Adrenaline: The ‘fight or flight’ hormone that makes your palms go sweaty and your heart to race.
- Dopamine: The ‘feel good’ hormone that puts that silly smile on your face and the skip in your step.
- Serotonin: Responsible for great mood regulation, satisfaction, fulfilment and all-round feeling great!
- Endorphins: These give you a rush and a natural ‘happy high’.
- Oxytocin: The ‘hormone of love’ that brings you closer together and one of the reasons you’re going to throw your arms around each other in delight once you reach terra firma.
This makes tandem skydiving an incredible adventure to do with your loved one. Whether it’s to celebrate a special date, a holiday experience or just because, it’s guaranteed to leave you both with lasting memories.
It’s not just the jump itself. It’s the anticipation in the days, hours and minutes up to the moment you climb into the aircraft and soar into the sky. The pitter-patter of your heart as you marvel at the bird’s eye view and can’t quite believe that you (strapped safely to your instructor) are willingly going to jump into the abyss, as well as the long-lasting effect of all those lovely hormones that are flooding your body.
Or How About a Skydiving Marriage Proposal?
Could there be a more wonderful way to pop the question? Imagine this… You and your loved one have talked and thought about the excitement of a tandem skydive. Both of you are hyped for it – but you have an additional secret. A ring in your pocket…

Not only do you get to go down on one knee, but you’re loved one will see the words ‘Will You Marry Me?” displayed at the landing site. What a way to make an impact – and certainly a romantic gesture that will never be forgotten.
