  Bridge Jumping

WILDTHING ADVENTURES, established in 1989, initiated BRIDGE JUMPING in South Africa. Wildthing Adv. approach is one of safety first and the crew is professionally trained. The only place in RSA where you can experience this ultimate high of BRIDGE TO BRIDGE JUMP / SWING is at the Gouritz River Bridge (between Mossel Bay and Albertinia, about 350 km's along the N2 from Cape Town). 

There are two ways of doing this crazy activity you can just stop at the bridge to stretch your legs and bend your mind or come along for a weekend package. We also offer professional specialised corporate team building adventures.

What is Bridge Jumping

You are strapped into a very secure BODY HARNESS with ropes attached to the opposite bridge. The jumpmaster will assist you to take that giant step off the bridge platform,- FEET FIRST, literally into thin air. After the spine chilling +/- 45m free fall reaching speeds of up to 120km/h you break into a glorious PENDULUM SWING - at this point you feel like you can conquer the world - and you realise that no challenge will ever again be too great. Once your blood has stopped rushing and your feet firmly back on solid ground you know that you've just experienced something that WILL BE DIFFICULT TO TOP!
