Location lies approximately 30km East of Plettenberg Bay on South Africa's south coast (on N2). Price includes an 8-10 minute video of your preparation, jump, winching, and post jump comments and a Hunters Gold cider.... you'll need it!
It IS the highest (commercial) operation in the world at 216 metres. Terminal speed before the bungee kicks in is 180 kilometres per hour (approx 110 miles per hour). The freefall component is 5 seconds and the bungee elongation component is 2 seconds. The first rebound is higher than the Victoria Falls Bridge jump in Zimbabwe (110 metres - previously the worlds highest jump) and the second rebound is higher than the Gouritz River Bridge jump (65 metres). I jumped Bloukrans in March (my first jump) and I cannot stop raving about it. Subsequently I have jumped again twice at Gouritz but nothing which I have done in my life can match the rush I got from Bloukrans!!!

Just thought it was worth mentioning that Bungy Vic at pipeworks market near Melbourne is pretty hopeless. Uncharismatic staff, crap views from the platform, and the video was useless with no sound, terrible dark pictures with no reference point so that you could see where the hell I was dangling or falling from. I asked not to be dunked in the water as I was due to catch a flight within the hour and had no change of clothes - consequently I got dunked up to my knees and had to buy a shitty sweatshirt. Major big rip off!

As the his 1st jumps took place in the Pont de l'Artuby, France and the Clifton Suspension Bridge, U.K. on the late of '80. Their heights were over 500 ft. (150 mts.) and he have improved the technique and safety with his own design processed gears and elasticated latex cordage. And also he have jumped a 2,970 ft. (890 mts.) long bridge at la Autopista Del Sol� in Mexico on 1993. That heights was 810+ ft. (243 mts.) A.G.L., that the highest bridge in Latin America. Probably, that was the highest land-based bungie jump in the world. Also he have jumped from several sorts of architectures, such as buildings, bridges, cliffs, valleys, towers, cranes, gondolas and even dams, in addition helicopters and hot airballoons around the world. On the 50-year-anniversary of the Independence of the Korea, 'macho adrenalin unlimited' was there to introduce and celebrate the liberation of the Koreans with free jumps and made several especial sports films for TVs in 1995, and again, he jumped from 750 ft. high a hot-airballoon. That was a 1st highest balloon jump in Asia and Oceania. Also planned, managed, promoted and organized especial bungie and other extreme air sport demonstration shows and events around the world since 1991.

The Civil Aviation Licence allowing Hackett's company at Queenstown to offer a 400 metre jump from a helicopter has expired. Until such time as the licence is renewed (end of 1996, I'm told), the Big Jump no longer operates.

THIS ROCKS! 143m up, and they get you to within 10-15m of the ground = 4-5s freefall. Its done out of a cable car contraption, which you have to reach via another cable car. This is quite scary enough on its own! Good value, not sure how much individually as I did it as part of a package. But each subsequent jump = $65NZ, which is why I did it three times...D'oh!
Did you know that after doing a Hackett jump anywhere in the world, any other Hackett jump anywhere else is 20% off?
