The Bloukrans Bridge carries the N2 Highway 216 metres above the Bloukrans River, a concrete arch completed in 1984 that holds the record as the world's highest commercial bridge bungee jump.
Designed by Riccardo Morandi and built over three years, the bridge spans 272 metres between cliffs in the Tsitsikamma region, where the Garden Route meets the eastern edge of the Western Cape. The structure itself was an engineering response to the deep coastal gorges that fracture the southern Cape littoral, and for a decade it remained a ribbon of asphalt admired only by passing motorists.
In 1997, Face Adrenalin secured the rights to operate a bungee platform beneath the arch, installing a catwalk suspended 40 metres below the road deck. The jump became operational that year, and within months it attracted thrill-seekers who had previously travelled to New Zealand or Nepal for comparable freefall heights. The seven-second descent terminates 30 metres above the river, where the elastic cord reaches maximum extension and the jumper begins the rebound sequence. The operation has logged more than half a million jumps since inception, with a safety record audited annually by the South African Bureau of Standards.
The catwalk extends beneath the arch in a steel lattice secured by tension cables, accessed via a separate pedestrian walkway from the bridge's southern abutment. Spectators walk the full span without charge, pausing at viewing platforms to watch jumpers step from the platform and drop toward the river below. The gorge funnels wind from the Indian Ocean, and on winter mornings the updraft can delay jump windows by an hour. The surrounding fynbos ecosystem is part of the Tsitsikamma protected corridor, and hikers often combine the jump with trails to Storms River Mouth, 30 kilometres east.
The bloukrans bridge bungee jump operates year-round, with the busiest months running from October through March when daylight extends past 19:00. The activity attracts a near-even split between domestic South African visitors and international tourists working their way along the Garden Route between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth. Tandem jumps and bridge tours were added in 2003, and the site now processes an average of 180 jumps per week during peak season, each logged with harness certification and jumper weight verification before the leap.

A step-by-step walkthrough of Bloukrans Bridge Bungee Jump tickets — what you'll see, how long each stage takes, and the details that matter.
You arrive at the bridge's southern side, where the registration kiosk sits in a low building with views across the gorge. After signing the indemnity form and confirming your weight, a staff member fits you with a full-body harness, tightening the leg loops and chest strap before clipping a numbered tag to the front.
You join a small group and walk onto the catwalk, a suspended steel grid that trembles slightly under foot as you follow the guide beneath the arch.
The platform juts from the catwalk's midpoint, a metal grating large enough for three people to stand shoulder to shoulder. You shuffle forward as the jump master attaches the bungee cord to your harness, then wraps a secondary safety line around your ankles. He counts down from five. You step to the edge, glance once at the river far below, and lean forward into open air. The freefall lasts seven seconds, wind roaring past your ears as the gorge walls blur into streaks of green and grey. The cord catches with a firm tug, and you swing upward in a wide arc before the oscillations settle into a gentle bounce. A retrieval line lowers from the catwalk, and you clip yourself in for the winch ride back to the platform.
