  • We finally did it. We jumped off Bloukrans which is the world's highest bungee jump bridge. We laughed, we danced, and then we felt utter terror and fear until it was finally time to take the big leap. We hope you enjoy this short, fast-paced vlog of what the Bloukrans experience is like.
    At Like a Tourist, we believe South Africa is the most beautiful country on earth. Bloukrans Bridge is just one reason why. 🇿🇦❤️
    For those that don't know, Bloukrans Bridge is famously the world’s highest bridge bungee jump, located close to Nature’s Valley, along South Africa’s Garden Route. In this video, you get to experience the ultimate adrenaline rush as you bungee jump from the top of the bridge, at a height of 709 feet (216 meters), over the stunning Bloukrans River Gorge.

    Heights have been a big fear since childhood. I am from Sydney, Australia. Step 1: Make fear your friend. Step 2: I climbed Harbour Bridge, Sydney. Step 3: I did an 18, 000 ft skydive in Auckand. Step 4: Bungee Jumping from Bloukrans Bridge my next attempt to face my fear.😊

    Great story for me was whilst touring in SA we knew this was coming up and our guide jokingly says on the bus we will need a couple of volunteers! Despite knowing he was kidding I went straight up the aisle of the bus and told him if the rest of the group doesn't mind a delay to our next hotel I would have no hesitation doing this! And the rest is history! To this day still the highest bungee I have done!

      Maybe the trick is to look out instead of down??? hahahah I don't think it really makes a difference where you look - those screws in the tummy are gonna turn regarless :-)
