A first-timer tunnel package is usually two roughly 60-second flights, with a 15-30 minute safety and technique briefing beforehand — budget 1-2 hours total for about 2 minutes of actual flying. Your instructor holds onto you at first and gradually lets go as you find a stable "box" position: arch from the hips (not the lower back), chin up, elbows bent with hands at eye level, knees bent with heels up. It's a great way to build body-position skills, but it teaches zero canopy or parachute skills — it complements AFF, it doesn't replace any part of it. Full guide with realistic cost ranges is in the Guides section.
