After doing the Nevis bungy, I was buzzing to be thrown off an even higher height, and who better to do it with than my best friend(who was a little bit nervous) The crew made us feel at ease by talking to us about everyday things, playing fun music and acting completely normal.

I was terrified to start with, but after one swing I wanted to do it over and over (especially for $40 for the second swing)! Great views, great staff, will definitely return. More

Really professional and secure....just enjoy screaming for England!! Was a little nervous. Some went in Tandem. Got some amazing photos of the couple ahead of me in honeymoon pose - jumping face to face. Another couple jumped doggie style. Great staff, fantastic atmosphere and music. You can also watch their bungees jump as you are waiting. Only $40 to do... More
