Face Adrenalin constructed the Bloukrans Bridge bungy platform in 1997, suspending a steel cage beneath a span that carries the N2 Highway 216 metres above the Bloukrans River gorge. At the time, no other commercial operator had mounted a jump from that height. The bridge itself opened in 1984 as the final link in the Garden Route coastal corridor, an arch-supported concrete ribbon designed by Riccardo Morandi's protégés to vault the narrow river valley without intermediate piers. Engineers anchored the jump platform to the underside of the deck using tensioned steel cables rated for repeated dynamic loading, a system that allows the bungy cord to hang free of the gorge walls during the seven-second freefall. Today the site processes more than fifteen thousand jumpers each year, drawing climbers, skydivers and first-timers who queue on the narrow catwalk that extends forty metres from the southern abutment to the jump box. The operation runs a continuous cycle: harness fitting on the bridge deck, a slow walk along the suspended platform while the Tsitsikamma mountains fill the periphery, then the backward lean into open air. Bloukrans bridge bungee jump tickets include a second catwalk experience called the SkyWalk, a guided traverse of the arch span with no jump required, designed for companions and photographers. The facility also offers a zipline that crosses the gorge parallel to the bridge, though the bungy remains the signature draw. The jump's reputation rests on two variables: the unobstructed drop and the view corridor. Unlike canyon or dam jumps, where rock walls compress the visual field, Bloukrans opens onto a coastal panorama that extends from the Tsitsikamma forest canopy to the Indian Ocean surf line. The cord system uses a four-point harness rather than ankle-only attachment, distributing deceleration forces and reducing rebound oscillation. Jumpers descend to within thirty metres of the river before the cord arrests the fall and initiates three to four rebounds. The entire sequence from platform exit to winch recovery takes eight minutes. Face Adrenalin publishes daily wind and weather thresholds; operations pause when gusts exceed twenty-five knots or when cloud cover obscures the landing zone. Bloemfontein engineer Nic Bornman calculated the bridge's load margins in 2003, confirming that the jump apparatus and SkyWalk additions impose less than two percent of the span's rated capacity. That assessment cleared the way for the zipline installation in 2009 and the expansion of the viewing deck in 2015. The site now accommodates tour groups, though reservations remain essential during South African school holidays when daily jump counts approach capacity.
"At 216 metres, no other commercial operator had mounted a jump from that height when Face Adrenalin opened the platform in 1997."
A step-by-step walkthrough of the visit — what you'll see, how long each stage takes, and the details that matter.
You arrive at the bridge toll plaza on the N2 and follow directional signs to the Face Adrenalin check-in kiosk, a low building on the southern approach. Inside, you watch a three-minute safety briefing, sign the indemnity form, and step onto a scale for weight verification—the harness sizing depends on precise figures. An instructor fits your chest and leg straps on the bridge deck, cinching each buckle twice while explaining hand signals for the jump master. You walk onto the suspended catwalk, a steel-mesh path that sways slightly as other jumpers move ahead of you. The Bloukrans River appears as a thin silver line far below, framed by indigenous forest on both banks. At the jump box—a square platform with railings on three sides—the jump master clips your harness to the bungy cord and checks the ankle cuff. You shuffle to the edge, toes over open air. The countdown begins. You lean back. Seven seconds of freefall compress into a single breath. The cord engages, your body pivots upright, and you rebound three times before the winch lowers a retrieval line. A crew member guides you back to the catwalk, where you collect your GoPro footage and walk back to the deck. The entire sequence from harness-on to deck return spans fifty minutes, though the jump itself lasts under ten.
