Skydiving in Niagara · Since 1979
Skydiving in Niagara.
On the edge of the Niagara Escarpment, Skydive SWOOP is the region's longest-running skydiving club. Tandem jumps over wine country, the lake, and the escarpment.
The region's home dropzone
Jump over the escarpment.
Skydiving in Niagara means jumping over some of the best scenery in Ontario — the Niagara Escarpment, Lake Ontario, and the vineyards of wine country. Skydive SWOOP sits right on the escarpment in Dundas, an easy drive from St. Catharines, Niagara Falls, Grimsby, and the wider Niagara region.
Open since 1979, we're Canada's longest-running skydiving club: non-profit, member-run, and rated 4.9 stars from 310 reviews. Your tandem skydive is flown by a CSPA-certified instructor, some with 30,000+ tandem jumps.
Getting here from Niagara
From St. Catharines and the Niagara region, take the QEW toward Hamilton and up to Dundas at 461 ON-5 West — roughly 40 to 50 minutes depending on where you start. Also serving Hamilton and Toronto.
