On arrival, our team will help prepare you for the bungy jump of your life!

We will weigh you, get you to sign a waiver form and issue a ticket. You will then walk up the 45 metre tower which usually takes 3-4 minutes. At the top, our jump master awaits. They will collect your ticket before putting on a body harness, tie your feet and attach the proper bungy cord for your weight.

From the top of the tower views of the ocean can be

seen and below just a man made pond for the ultimate water touch or splash down. Once at the top of the tower, you will be given the option to decide whether you would like to touch the water below. Then there is a quick countdown - 5,4,3,2,1 ... woohoo!
