Bungee jumping
South Africa offers visitors the ultimate thrill in the form of the highest commercial bridge bungee jump in the world at Bloukrans Bridge on the Garden Route in the Western Cape.
The 216m-high Bloukrans Bridge (about 40km east of Plettenberg Bay) spans a gorge over the river of the same name, and bungee jumpers will experience a drop of 170m.
It is one of many adventure activities to be found on this stretch of the Garden Route, where your clients can also go skydiving, abseiling, horse riding and shark cage-diving, among others.
The minimum age restriction at Bloukrans is 14. There’s also a minimum weight limit of 35kg. The Bloukrans operation is open 365 days a year, weather permitting.
Should your clients not wish to jump, they can still share in the thrill by going on a bridge walk. They will follow the jump group on to the top of the bridge arch via a secure walkway and watch the countdown for the next jump. The walk in itself offers spectacular views.
