Jupiter doesn't really have a surface... so that would be tricky. You wouldn't be able to see anything, the atmosphere is too thick. Also there are raging storm systems bigger than our planet. We really don't know much about the interior of the planet. The Galileo probe is the best source of information.....

Trick question. Jupiter isn't believed to have a solid surface no matter how deep into the atmosphere you could go. Even the planet's core is believed to consist of liquid hydrogen. But if you were to try this, you would be crushed by the immense gravity very early on if you weren't destroyed by the powerful winds and massive storms.
Not the type of place you want to take a vacation at. Now that new planet they found that's about 20 light years away... The one with the earth-like enviornment. The gravity is a little high there 1.6x normal, but that place might be nice this time of year.

Since there is no surface, the best way to imagine it is if your falling through the atmosphere.
First it would be pretty, with red and white clouds, with storms the size of Earth raging nearby.
You would notice that the atmosphere is hydrogen, and a bunch of other gases that you cannot breath.
Soon you would notice that the temperature is slowly rising and the pressure along with it.
After about 15 minutes, and still relatively near the top of the atmosphere - the temperature would be several hundred degrees and the pressure would start to crumple your ship.
After that its not pretty.

If you travel to Jupiter attempting to get into its atmosphere, you would died without even touch that atmosphere. As you get closer to the planet you would be cooked by the powerful radiation coming from it, the Jupiter magnetic field is so strong that it extends as far as 11 million kilometers from the planet and it is 7000 times more powerful than the Earth one.

There is no solid surface to Jupiter, just gas of ever increasing density. If there were a surface, you'd be squashed on it like a bug because of Jupiter's much higher gravity, thanks to its large size.

Jupiter is a gas planet, it has no solid surface and if it did you would be crushed by by its intense gravity.

The inability to lift your foot or hand or stand erect.
You'd be layed flat on the surface exerpiencing the eqiavent downward pressure on your body as you experience taking off in a rocket from Earth, except it never ends.
