Fancy attaching yourself to a giant bungee and jumping off of an extremely tall tower? Bungee jumping is an ultimate must for the adrenaline junkie. Ask anyone who has completed this heart stopping Golden Moment and their reply will be: Just Do It!

Following an expert pre-jump briefing and kit-issue, you will experience the breathtaking thrill of leaping from your jump tower. Whilst securely attached into your safety harness and bungee, you will fly towards the ground until the bungee kicks in and you're sprung straight back up again!

Fascinating Facts

Bungee jumping comes from an ancient tradition practised by the Pentecost Islanders celebrating their transition into manhood. Young men jumped from heights of up to 70 feet from specially constructed bamboo towers, or even cliffs, with springy vines attached to their ankles to break their fall. The real pioneer of modern bungee jumping was A.J. Hackett, from New Zealand. In 1987, his illegal jump from the Eiffel Tower gave international prominence to the sport. Hackett went home to set up the first commercial bungee jumps in the world, and his base on New Zealand's South Island can be called the real home of bungee. Today, bungee jumping utilises special purpose harnesses and very strong elastic cords designed to provide maximum tensile strength while still having an elongation of 300% under load. It can be used for 500 jumps and the integrity of the cord is easily checked with a specially designed Over Elongation Indicator. So why do people do it? Recent studies show that a combination of fear, sheer thrill and exhilaration are a tonic for human beings.
