Bungy Jumping
Bloukrans Jump – the world's highest
This is the ultimate thrill! Recognised by the Guinness World Records as the highest commercially operated Bungy Jump in the world. You will be secured in a full body harness and proceed to walk along a specially designed catwalk (216m long), which is suspended beneath the road surface, which will then lead you to the top of the arch - 216 meters above the Bloukrans River. Here you will be given final instructions by highly experienced staff, a countdown and off you go! Bloukrans utilizes pendulum bungy technology ensuring you the smoothest, most comfortable bungy jump possible.
Price: R 580 per person
Flying Fox
This is the NEWEST adventure at Bloukrans! A 200m cable slide ('foofie slide' for South Africans) out onto the archway of the bridge! The quickest way to get to your bungy jump destination. But if the bungy is not for you – this is a great alternative adrenalin rush all on its own. Do it by yourself or a tandem with a friend or partner. This is a great option for groups and families.
Prices:
R 150 Single - per person
R 200 Tandem - per person
