Skydive Vacation Royan –
everything you need to know before arrival
Dear Airboss Skydiver,
If you’re travelling to Royan this summer, we recommend arriving on Saturday. It’s a long trip for most, so give yourself some time to relax and enjoy the beach. This Royan guide helps you prepare for your skydive holiday and gives practical tips for a smooth start. Of course, you’re also welcome to arrive earlier and settle in!
Once you arrive in Royan, we’ll run through a few formalities: a warm welcome, some paperwork, and checking your documents. That way, you can start your adventure well prepared!
