Bloukrans Bridge Bungy
Bloukrans Bridge
A 216 m commercial bungee jump, long recognized as the world's highest bridge bungee, leaping from the middle of the arch into the Bloukrans River gorge.
Bloukrans Bridge carries the N2 national road across the border between the Western Cape and Eastern Cape. This concrete arch bridge was completed in 1984, with a span of about 272 m and a deck about 216 m above the gorge floor, making it one of Africa's highest single-span arch bridges. Since 1997, Face Adrenalin has operated bungee jumps beneath the arch, and for years the 216 m jump has been recognized by Guinness World Records as the world's highest commercial bridge bungee. The process goes like this: at the visitor centre you are weighed, sign the waiver and get kitted out. Then you walk along the steel grating path under the bridge to the jump platform at the centre of the arch. Staff play music to fire you up, and on the countdown you leap. You fall freely for about 5–7 seconds before being pulled back up to the platform. The 2026 bungee package costs about R1690 (video and photos are extra; check the official website). Booking far ahead is usually unnecessary, but book early in peak season. If you're not brave enough to jump, you can buy a Skywalk ticket for about R500 and walk the path under the bridge to watch, or watch for free from the visitor centre viewing deck. A zipline is also offered in the gorge. Weight and health restrictions (heart conditions, high blood pressure, pregnancy and so on) follow the rules on site. The bridge is about 40 km from Plettenberg Bay and is often visited on the same day as Storms River Mouth.
