ADRENALINE · BUNGEE JUMPING
One decision, taken once, at the end of a gantry. These 15 jumps are compared on height, what is underneath, whether you get dipped, and the weight floor and ceiling every operator enforces on the scales.
At Bloukrans Bridge near Plettenberg Bay, you reach the jump platform by zipline, suit up with an experienced Face Adrenalin team, and leap into the valley on a bungee cord using pendulum technology. A winch brings you back up, followed by a 216-meter SkyWalk. Photos and videos cost extra.
“Amazing experience. Fun atmosphere on the bridge before the jump and reassuring instructors”
Meet the Bloukrans Bungy team on South Africa’s Garden Route for a safety briefing, full-body harness fitting, zipline ride, and bungee jump above the Bloukrans River Gorge. You return by winch and 216-meter SkyWalk. John and Heavy were praised for helping nervous jumpers take the leap, though names and staff may vary.
“I enjoyed every moment and I would do it again. The guides were super friendly and experienced. The preparation for the jump is done properly so that one js comfortable and easy.”
You’ll jump 40 meters from a purpose-built platform beneath Garry Bridge, with the River Garry and Perthshire countryside below. Highland Fling Bungee runs the roughly two-hour session, talks you through safety steps, and winches you back to the platform after your jump. Meet at the National Trust visitor centre in Killiecrankie.
“Ooh the adrenaline rush !! Totally worth it! The team was awesome and walked every group member through the steps and safety measures patiently.

They seem to have forgotten that i paid for the service”

The $90 experience includes transfers, mountain and river views, a mobile ticket, and return to the meeting point.
“Fantastic experience. I did both zipline and bungee and both are worth to do. If you are in Pokhara just do it”
Leave Interlaken for Erlenbach, ride two gondolas up Stockhorn Mountain, and jump 440 feet toward Stockensee. English and German-speaking instructors handle the safety gear and checks.
