  • "The bloukrans bridge bungee jump is the highest commercial jump in the world at 216 meters. The walk along the suspended catwalk builds anticipation as you see the Bloukrans River far below. Staff were professional and made the safety briefing clear. The freefall lasted about 6 seconds before the cord caught, an experience I will remember for years."
    Sarah K. · United Kingdom · 2026-07-18
  • "We drove four hours from Cape Town along the Garden Route specifically for this jump. The bridge spans the forested gorge beautifully and the views toward the Indian Ocean are expansive. The whole process from check-in to jump took about 90 minutes. My legs were shaking but the crew kept the mood light."
    Marco T. · Italy · 2026-06-22
  • "Face Adrenalin runs a tight operation here. The equipment looked well-maintained and the briefing covered every step. Jumping from 216 meters gives you enough time to actually process the fall. The video package captured everything from multiple angles. I jumped mid-morning when the light was good and the winds were calm."
    Chen W. · Singapore · 2026-08-14
  • "The bloukrans bridge bungee jump tours include a certificate and t-shirt. Walking out on the bridge catwalk is already a test if you are not comfortable with heights. Once you jump the sensation is pure acceleration until the rebound. I appreciated that they let you take your time on the edge without rushing. The river valley below is pristine indigenous forest."
    Lerato M. · South Africa · 2025-11-30
  • "This jump exceeded my expectations. The bloukrans bridge bungee jump tickets include the jump, walk, and certificate. The bridge itself is an engineering landmark along the N2. I jumped in the afternoon and watched several others go first which helped mentally. The crew's energy kept everyone relaxed. You really feel the 216-meter drop."
    Daniel R. · Germany · 2026-05-09
  • "I had this on my list for three years and finally did it last week. The Bloukrans location is remote and beautiful with Tsitsikamma forest all around. The jump was smoother than I imagined—no jerking, just a long smooth rebound. Staff checked and rechecked every harness connection. My hands were cold from nerves but the whole experience lasted only a few seconds."
    Priya N. · India · 2026-08-21
  • "Having done bungee jumps in Queenstown and Macau, the bloukrans bridge bungee jump offers the longest freefall I have experienced. The concrete arch bridge feels solid underfoot. I jumped at sunrise when the valley was misty and the air was cool. The crew had clearly done this thousands of times and made it feel routine, which was oddly comforting."
    Tom H. · Australia · 2026-03-15
  • "The setting is what makes this special—deep green gorge, the river threading below, and the sense of isolation. The bloukrans bridge bungee jump tour starts with a safety video then you walk the catwalk in groups. The jump itself is a controlled plunge with a gentle bounce at the end. I went in summer and the weather was perfect. Highly recommend doing it early in your trip so you can talk about it the rest of the week."
    Claudia S. · Brazil · 2025-12-11
  • "Everything ran on schedule. Check-in was quick, briefing was thorough, and the jump itself was over before I could overthink it. The 216-meter height gives you time to see the forest canopy rushing up. The bloukrans bridge bungee jump is well worth the detour if you are driving the Garden Route. My heart rate was still elevated an hour later."
    James P. · Canada · 2026-07-29
  • "I jumped on a clear autumn morning with no wind. The bridge walkway sways slightly which adds to the anticipation. Face Adrenalin staff were encouraging without being pushy. The Bloukrans River below is a thin ribbon from that height. The freefall is silent except for the wind. I bought the video and have watched it a dozen times. This is a world-class jump site."

Bloukrans Bridge Bungee Jump Experience
About

Bloukrans Bridge Bungee Jump Experience

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.

Read more

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.

Your experience

What a Bloukrans Bridge Bungee Jump tour day looks like

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.

Read more

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.
