Tsitsikamma Bungee Jump at Bloukrans Bridge — 216m Bungy, Zipline & SkyWalk

Feel the rush from Africa’s highest bridge: zip to the arch, leap 216 meters on certified pendulum bungee tech, then ride a winch back to a SkyWalk exit. This one‑hour Tsitsikamma experience pairs engineered safety with raw exposure over a coastal gorge.

The Experience

Before You Go

Bring valid ID

You’ll need passport or official ID for check‑in and safety paperwork — keep it accessible and dry.

Wear secure footwear

Closed, low‑profile shoes are required for the zipline, jump, and SkyWalk; no sandals or loose laces.

Arrive early to avoid wind delays

Morning slots often have calmer winds; later sessions can be delayed or canceled for safety.

Secure cameras

Loose cameras are not allowed on the jump; use operator photo packages or a chest strap approved by staff.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Drive a short distance to viewpoints along the Garden Route coastal cliffs for quieter panoramas away from the bridge.
  • Explore nearby Storms River Mouth for short coastal boardwalks and tidal pools before or after your jump.

Wildlife

  • Cape grysbok and small antelope in adjoining fynbos patches
  • Coastal seabirds such as cormorants and gulls circling the gorge

Conservation Note

Operators work within national park guidelines to minimize footprint; visitors should stick to marked areas, pack out waste, and avoid disturbing coastal vegetation.

The bridge is part of mid‑20th century road engineering across a rugged coastal gorge; in recent decades it became synonymous with commercial bungee and adventure tourism on the Garden Route.
