Quick Answer: AltitudeX (formerly iFly Singapore) is a legitimate indoor skydiving facility on Sentosa Island offering wind tunnel flights from SGD 79 (~$58 USD) per person. Each session includes safety training, gear, and one to two flights of roughly 45–60 seconds each. It suits first-timers, families with kids aged 7 and above, and anyone who wants a controlled taste of freefall without jumping from a plane. Budget at least SGD 109 (~$81 USD) for the two-flight Challenge Package — the single-flight Teaser package is too brief for most visitors to feel properly airborne.

AltitudeX indoor skydiving wind tunnel at Siloso Beach, Sentosa Singapore

What Is AltitudeX (Formerly iFly Singapore)?

AltitudeX is Singapore's only indoor skydiving facility, located at 43 Siloso Beach Walk on Sentosa Island. The venue officially rebranded from iFly Singapore on 12 December 2025, with the new name reflecting the company's expansion across Asia and its focus on community-led skydiving development. The tunnel itself, the instructors, and the experience haven't changed — just the branding.

The wind tunnel is one of the largest in the world by height: five storeys tall (56.5 ft / 17.2 m) and 16.5 feet wide, with an 18-foot acrylic glass viewing wall that gives you an unobstructed view of the South China Sea and Siloso Beach while you're in the air. Wind speeds inside the chamber reach 180–290 km/h, replicating the sensation of freefall from roughly 12,000 feet altitude.

The facility has been operating since 2011 and holds TripAdvisor's Certificate of Excellence annually since 2015. Its instructors are certified by the International Bodyflight Association (IBA), the global governing body for indoor skydiving safety and training standards.

Is Indoor Skydiving at AltitudeX Worth It?

For most first-time visitors, yes — with the right package. The experience delivers a genuine freefall sensation in a fully controlled, safe environment. You float on a column of air, hands free, with a certified instructor in the tunnel with you throughout. For many people, it's the closest they'll get to actual skydiving, at roughly a fifth of the cost of a tandem jump.

Worth it if:

  • You're curious about skydiving but not ready to jump from a plane — this gives you the physical sensation without the altitude or aircraft
  • You're travelling with kids aged 7–14 — the facility is genuinely family-friendly, and the instructors work well with younger flyers
  • It's your first time and you book the two-flight Challenge Package — the second flight takes you two storeys up, which is where the real airtime begins
  • You want a structured activity that takes about 1.5–2 hours and delivers a memorable experience, not just another Sentosa attraction

Not ideal if:

  • You're an experienced indoor skydiver — the tourist pricing for extended flight time is significantly higher than most facilities in Europe or the US
  • Your schedule is tight — you must arrive one full hour before your flight, and the total visit runs 1.5–2 hours for just 1–2 minutes of actual airtime
  • You have a back, neck, or shoulder injury, or are pregnant — the wind forces involved make this medically inadvisable
  • You expect a leisurely activity — the first-flight experience is brief and can feel rushed if you're not expecting it

Packages and Pricing (2026)

AltitudeX offers three tiers for first-time flyers, plus dedicated training packages for those who want to develop skills. All prices below are as of 2026 and reflect online booking rates. Walk-in rates and peak-hour pricing may differ.

Package Flights Tourist Price Local Rate (online) Best For
The Teaser 1 skydive (~45–60 sec) SGD 79 (~$58) SGD 69 (~$51) Ultra budget; not recommended as your only flight
The Challenge 2 skydives (~90–120 sec total) SGD 109 (~$81) SGD 89 (~$66) Most first-time visitors; the second flight goes significantly higher
Training Package 6 skydives (same session) SGD 228–250 (~$169–185) SGD 228–250 (~$169–185) Those who want to progress skills; includes coaching

What's included across all packages: Safety training and briefing, full flight gear (jumpsuit, helmet, goggles, earplugs), certified instructor in the tunnel throughout, and a flight certificate on completion.

What costs extra: High flights (an add-on where the instructor takes you to the top of the tunnel — roughly SGD 50 per flight), souvenir photo/video packages, and shoe rental (SGD 4 with a pair of socks) if you don't have closed-toe laced footwear.

Insider Reality Check #1: The first flight stays low

Your first skydive in The Challenge Package only takes you up to approximately the instructor's height — roughly 1–2 metres above the ground. It's on the second flight that the instructor takes you two storeys up. If you book the single-flight Teaser, you won't experience any meaningful altitude at all. This is not prominently communicated in marketing materials, but it's consistently flagged in visitor reviews.

What to Expect on the Day

The check-in process at AltitudeX is intentionally structured — more like boarding a flight than entering an attraction. Understanding the timeline helps you avoid the frustration that some visitors experience.

Timeline from arrival to exit

  • T-60 minutes: Arrive and check in. Present your booking confirmation and a photo ID or passport. Complete your waiver form (available online in advance to save time on-site). Under-18s must have a parent or guardian-signed waiver.
  • T-45 minutes: Watch a short introductory safety video and receive instructor briefing on body position, hand signals, and what to expect inside the tunnel. This takes roughly 10–15 minutes.
  • T-30 minutes: Gear up. You'll be fitted with a jumpsuit over your clothes, plus a helmet, goggles, and industry-grade earplugs. Valuables go in a locker.
  • T-15 to 0 minutes: Wait in the outer chamber and watch other flyers go. This is where most of the waiting happens — use it to observe body position and settle your nerves.
  • Flight time: Each skydive runs approximately 45–60 seconds. For a two-flight package, total tunnel time is roughly 90–120 seconds. With your instructor in the tunnel throughout, the experience is hands-on from the first second.
  • Post-flight: Return gear, collect your flight certificate, and optionally purchase photo or video packages at the sales counter.

Insider Reality Check #2: Arrive early or lose your ticket

AltitudeX's late check-in policy is strict and non-negotiable. If you arrive after the 1-hour pre-flight check-in window has closed — even by 10 minutes — your tickets are forfeited with no refund and no flexibility. There is no grace period. The same applies to rescheduling on the day of your flight (100% cancellation fee). Plan for traffic on the Sentosa causeway and build in time for the Sentosa Express monorail from VivoCity if you're coming by MRT.

Age, Weight, and Health Requirements

AltitudeX is one of the most accessible thrill activities on Sentosa Island — the age and physical requirements are broader than most comparable experiences.

  • Minimum age: 7 years old. Children aged 7–17 must have a parent or guardian-signed waiver, and the adult should accompany them on-site.
  • Maximum weight: 120 kg if you are under 180 cm tall. 140 kg if you are 180 cm or taller.
  • Medical exclusions: Pregnant women, people with plaster casts, those currently under the influence of alcohol or drugs, anyone with a history of shoulder dislocation, back or neck injury, or heart conditions. If in doubt, consult a doctor before booking.
  • People with disabilities: AltitudeX accepts participants with physical and cognitive disabilities — contact the team directly before booking to discuss suitability and special arrangements.

The youngest person recorded to have flown at the facility was 7 years old; the oldest was 106. For most families with children in the 8–14 bracket, this is a comfortable and well-managed experience.

Which Package Should You Choose?

The right package depends on what you're trying to get out of the experience. Here's how different traveller types typically land.

  • First-time visitors and tourists → Book the Challenge Package (2 flights). The second flight is where you feel genuine altitude and the freefall sensation becomes real. The Teaser is a cost-cutting option that most visitors find too short to feel worthwhile. At SGD 109 (~$81 USD), the Challenge gives you approximately double the airtime for about 35% more cost.
  • Families with kids → The Challenge Package works well here too. Children aged 8–12 respond particularly well to the structured approach — the briefing, gearing up, and the two flights give the experience enough weight to feel like an event, not just an attraction. Instructors at AltitudeX are experienced with younger flyers.
  • Couples → Book separately and time your flights so you can watch each other from outside the tunnel — the 18-foot glass wall makes for a genuinely good spectator experience. Consider the High Flight add-on for the second visit (roughly SGD 50 extra), which takes you to the very top of the five-storey tunnel.
  • Thrill-seekers wanting more airtime → The Training Package (6 skydives, all used in one session) is the right call. It includes instructor coaching and gives you enough tunnel time to actually progress — you'll learn to move forward and backward and control altitude by the end. At SGD 250 (~$185), the per-flight cost drops significantly.
  • Experienced indoor skydivers → Be aware that AltitudeX's pricing for extended tunnel time is considerably higher than equivalent facilities in Europe or North America. If you're already a proficient flyer, this is worth factoring in before booking a long block.

If you'd rather skip the research and go straight to a confirmed slot, AltitudeX is available to book on Travjoy — the listing is vetted by Singapore destination experts so you're booking a confirmed experience, not a standby slot.

Insider Reality Check #3: The High Flight add-on is where most people want to be

The top-of-tunnel "High Flight" — where your instructor takes you soaring to the ceiling of the five-storey chamber — is listed as an optional extra, but it's the moment that generates almost all the GoPro footage and Instagram content you've seen from this venue. If you're booking to experience the full potential of the tunnel, factor in the add-on cost from the start rather than deciding on the day.

Booking Tips: How to Get the Best Price

A few practical moves can make a material difference to what you pay and how smooth the day runs.

  • Book online at least 2 days in advance. Direct online booking unlocks the discounted rate. Walk-in pricing is higher across all packages.
  • Singapore residents get a lower rate. The local resident pricing (SP, EP, or WP holders) requires proof of ID at check-in and is only valid for selected flight timings — usually off-peak windows on weekdays.
  • Weekday mid-morning slots are quieter. Wednesday is a later start (opening at 11am), but Tuesday and Thursday morning sessions from 9am–12pm are typically the least crowded. Weekend slots — particularly Saturday afternoon — fill up fastest.
  • Complete the online waiver form before arrival. It saves significant time on-site and reduces the administration queue, especially if you're visiting with a group.
  • Confirm your flight slot at least 3 working days in advance if booking via third-party vouchers. Email info@sg.altitudex.com with your eVoucher, preferred date and time, participant names, and dates of birth. Unconfirmed vouchers cannot be used on arrival.
  • Rescheduling costs SGD 30 per flyer if you change before the day of your flight. Any rescheduling or no-show on the day incurs a 100% cancellation fee — no exceptions.

Insider Reality Check #4: The pre-flight "training" is shorter than advertised

The 1-hour pre-flight check-in window includes registration, waiver signing, a short safety video, a 10–15 minute instructor briefing, and gear fitting. The actual skill instruction is minimal — enough to keep you safe and upright, but not enough to give you control over your position in the tunnel. This is normal for a first-timer experience and doesn't diminish the flight, but it's useful to know you won't emerge a skilled skydiver from a single visit.

How to Get to AltitudeX (Sentosa)

AltitudeX is at 43 Siloso Beach Walk, #01-01, Sentosa Island. The easiest route from central Singapore takes around 30–40 minutes door-to-door.

  • By MRT + Sentosa Express: Take the Circle Line to HarbourFront Station, then connect to the Sentosa Express monorail from VivoCity Level 3. Alight at Beach Station. AltitudeX is a short walk from the station.
  • By taxi or ride-hailing: Tell the driver "43 Siloso Beach Walk, Sentosa." Taxis and Grab vehicles can enter Sentosa via the Sentosa Gateway road. Sentosa entry charges may apply depending on vehicle type.
  • By cable car: The Singapore Cable Car (Mount Faber Line or Sentosa Line) drops you near Beach Station on Sentosa. This adds a scenic leg to the journey if you're building a full Sentosa day.

AltitudeX sits in the same stretch of Sentosa as Skyline Luge Sentosa, Mega Adventure Park MegaZip, and SkyHelix Sentosa — if you're building a half-day of adventure activities, this cluster works well together. The Skypark Sentosa by AJ Hackett is also nearby for bungee jumping and giant swing options.

Is AltitudeX on Sentosa the Right Activity for Your Trip?

For most travellers visiting Singapore with one or two free hours on Sentosa, AltitudeX delivers a genuinely memorable experience — one that's physically unlike anything else the island offers. It's not a passive attraction. You're in the tunnel, working with gravity, with an instructor holding your attention the entire time.

The pricing isn't cheap by Singapore standards, but the experience-to-cost ratio compares favourably with tandem skydiving (which costs five to ten times more) and holds its own against other Sentosa activity pricing. The two-flight Challenge Package at SGD 109 (~$81 USD) is the right baseline for a first visit.

If you're combining it with other Sentosa activities like the Slingshot and Extreme Swing or an afternoon at Adventure Cove Waterpark, consider booking a morning AltitudeX slot — the tunnel is less crowded in the first half of the day and you'll have full energy for the flights before any other physical activity.
