Q: How far/ short can I book in advance?

A: We've taken people who have called that same hour— we also take online bookings up to a year in advance. Below you can read about booking priority.

Q: You or your group are in Moab for a few days or even a week and want to schedule a jump— how does booking work? Do you book a single day? Which day do you book?

A: Weather and conditions effect the probability of jumping the most so booking your first available day to jump on your trip is a good strategy because it leaves you with the most time to wait for a weather window to jump on your trip. Pre-booking your trip ONLINE gives you priority advantage to confirm and hold your slot if limited slots are available due to conditions. I.E. if you pre-booked and someone else booked 48 hours ahead, the ONLINE pre-booking, gets prioritization in line for jumping.

Are we a legal, insured, registered business?

Yes, we are.

Q: How long have we “been a thing?”

A: BASE Jump Moab has been hucking people off cliffs in Moab since August 2, 2019.

Q: How Long are the Trips? Should I bring anything on the trip? What should I wear?

A: Depending on the size of your group, missions are between 3-5 hours and Moab is HOT! Hats, glasses, and sunscreen— are a good idea! There is a 40 minute drive to the permitted jumping cliffs 1 jumper takes about 2.5-3 hours moab to moab. Each additional jumper in the group adds 30-45min. These trips are outdoor adventures that are so much more fun with some food, a good amount of water, close toed shoes, long pants, a smile, and a stoked attitude (and if you want, cash to tip you guide! The Pandemic Package is actually a shuttled jump so the hike is flat and less than 10 minuets AND you land at the car. Because of the Pandemic we are trying to have people organize their own shuttles for the BASE jumps to promote minimum social distancing practices. Having a car with high clearance is #1 and 4 wheel drive is always nice in Moab (if you are renting.) 2 wheel drive cars do work fine. Wet / snowy conditions do sometimes complicate the roads. The roads we access are off road trails and it requires some slow driving even in good conditions.

Q: What is the best time to make a Tandem BASE jump?

The best times to make Tandem BASE jumps are early in the morning (from first light to a little past sunrise) and later in the evening close to sunset (end of the day to last light.) We do jump at all hours during the day some days but, the weather conditions and especially the wind patterns tend to be more predictable (on average) early morning and evening. Also, while living in the desert, the HOT temperatures during the summer can be brutal!

Q: Does BASE jump Moab support Passengers with Special Needs?

A: 120% yes. BJM is all inclusive and wants to support ALL people. Please don’t hesitate to contact us!

Q: How long do the jumps last, and how long to do you fall?

A: ALL of the parachute jumps take 2-3 seconds of free fall and at least 30 seconds of flight to the landing area. There are a handful of areas that BJM is permitted to do commercial tandem base and each of them is special for a specific reason— the Pandemic Package cliff is called Sweet spot and the overall height is 900’+ so we fly under parachute for almost 90 seconds in certain conditions. The type of jumping we do simulates military static line jumps and we cover the specifics of how it works on each and every jump.
