Year-round
Spanning the Bloukrans River gorge on the Garden Route, Bloukrans Bridge is home to what is widely recognised as the world's highest commercial bridge bungy jump — a 216-metre free fall that has been running since 1997.
Those who prefer to keep their feet up can still walk out beneath the arch on the Flying Fox zip line and bridge walk for the same jaw-dropping views without the leap.
