Dropzone Locations and How to Get There
We operate at three stunning locations across the Philippines, each offering unique experiences and breathtaking views. Here's everything you need to know about reaching each dropzone.
Location: Siquijor Airport, Siquijor, Philippines
Status: Year-Round Operations
How to Get There:
Siquijor is accessible by ferry from Dumaguete City (Negros Oriental) or from Bohol, or by direct flight — Sunlight Air has flown Cebu-Siquijor direct since December 2025. From Manila, fly to Dumaguete Airport (DGT), then take a 1-hour ferry ride to Siquijor, or fly to Cebu and connect on Sunlight Air's direct Cebu-Siquijor flight. The dropzone is located at Siquijor Airport, approximately 15-20 minutes by tricycle or motorcycle from the main port. Taxis and tricycles are readily available at the port.

Skydive Palawan is accessible via flights to Puerto Princesa International Airport (PPS), a private charter flight straight into San Vicente Airport, or direct flights to El Nido Airport. From Manila, you can fly directly to Puerto Princesa (1.5 hours) or take a connecting flight; El Nido Airport is reached via Clark, Cebu, Coron, or Panglao, not Manila. From Puerto Princesa, it's approximately 186 km — about 3-4 hours by van or bus to San Vicente. Commercial service into San Vicente comes and goes, so check current schedules, and direct flights to El Nido Airport remain available from select airlines. The dropzone is located at San Vicente Airport. For more information, visit skydivepalawan.ph.
Remote dropzones are easier when the ground legs are booked ahead: arrange a private charter flight (Avian) into San Vicente, or take a scheduled van transfer from Puerto Princesa or El Nido.
