Bloukrans Bridge Zipline, Hangout & SkyWalk Adventure — Thrill Without the Bungy
Fly out on a 200‑meter zip to the midpoint of Bloukrans Bridge, step into the Hang Out Zone and return along a suspended SkyWalk. It’s the best way to taste the bridge’s vertigo—without committing to the bungy.
The Experience
Before You Go
Secure loose items
Use a wrist strap or leave loose items in a locker—strong winds can take phones and hats quickly off the bridge.
Arrive early for calmer winds
Morning sessions often have lighter winds and clearer views; cancellations are more likely in the afternoon as the coast picks up wind.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy trainers with good grip are required for the launch and SkyWalk and will keep you steady on metal and wood surfaces.
Check health restrictions
This activity is not suitable for pregnant travelers or those with recent spinal/heart problems—declare any conditions when booking.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Walk the short coastal trails near Nature's Valley for quieter viewpoints of the gorge
- •Stop at the bridge’s roadside viewpoint at dawn for empty light and long shadows across the arch
Wildlife
- •African black oystercatcher
- •Rock hyrax (dassie) on the cliffs
Conservation Note
Operators encourage sticking to marked paths and minimizing noise on the bridge; the fragile coastal fynbos and cliff habitats are sensitive to trampling and litter.
The bridge spans a deeply incised coastal gorge carved through Cape Fold sandstones; the structure and nearby settlements reflect the region’s long history of coastal travel and timber use.
Photographer's Notes
- • Mid-span Hang Out Zone for full-arch composition
- • Along the SkyWalk looking back toward the bridge
- • Roadside viewpoint east of the bridge for wide-angle coastal context

What happens if the weather is bad?
Wind and heavy rain can trigger cancellations; you’ll usually be offered an alternative date or a refund if the operator cancels within their stated policy.
Can I watch the bungy jumpers from the Hang Out Zone?
Yes—the Hang Out Zone offers one of the best perspectives to watch bungy jumpers on the arch below without taking the leap yourself.
Is the experience wheelchair accessible?

Do I need prior zipline or climbing experience?
No technical experience is required—guides handle harnessing and safety lines, and the SkyWalk is fully secured for participants.
