Feel the free fall when bungee jumping at Bloukrans Bridge

If you are travelling along the Garden Route and looking for the ultimate adrenaline rush, then you simply cannot miss bungee jumping at Bloukrans Bridge in Tsitsikamma National Park. At 216 metres high, it is the highest commercial bungee jump bridge in the world – an experience I would happily repeat every time.

Even the way to the jump platform is an adventure in itself: you start with a zipline ride across the gorge, accompanied by high-energy music and a crew who get you in the mood with good vibes and dancing. Once at the top, you are met with a breathtaking view over the Bloukrans River and the surrounding forests – a moment that will surely stay with you.

The jump itself is a free fall into nothingness that makes you feel as if you are flying. Thanks to state-of-the-art pendulum bungee technology, the jump is especially smooth and safe. After the jump you are winched back up to the bridge and can walk back along a suspended walkway beneath the roadway – a final thrill with spectacular views. The crew take photos of you and your jump, so the experience is captured for you to keep.

For me, bungee jumping at Bloukrans Bridge is an action-packed highlight, an unforgettable experience full of adrenaline, music and nature.
