Calling all thrill seekers and adrenaline junkies! We’ve well and truly scoured the web in search of the most beautiful spots for bungee cord jumping, guaranteed to satisfy that craved adrenaline rush. So, if you’re looking for some truly eye-popping experiences to add to your bucket list, read on to discover what makes these top spots so awe-inspiring. Let’s jump right in… (literally)

Verzasca Dam, Switzerland

Unleash the spy within as you experience the dazzling Verzasca Dam bungee cord jump, known for being the very spot where Mr Bond launched himself, rather spectacularly, off the famous dam. Admire the rustic valley that surrounds you as you take the 220 metre plunge, looking down at one of the purest rivers on Earth, the Verzasca river. Being the highest stationary bungee station in the world, it’s definitely worth a visit. 

Ponte Colossus, Italy

Colossus by name, and colossal in size, the Ponto Colossus bungee cord jump isn’t one to be missed. Towering at a knee-quivering 152 metres high and located in the mountain village Veligo-Mosso, adventure goers can take the 4.5 second freefall and gaze (if you can bear it) across at the beautiful Biellese Alps that surround the area. 

Kawarau Bridge, New Zealand 

New Zealand’s Kawarau Bridge is the mother of all bungee jumping destinations, being the very place where it all began. AJ Hackett and Henry Van Asch, aka the pioneers of bungee jumping, took the leap of faith off the bridge back in 1988, braving the 43 metre drop using only a homemade rubber cord – yikes. Thankfully, proper safety precautions are now very much in place, so that thrill seeking tourists can either brave the jump alone, or jump in tandem with another daredevil. 

Macau Tower, China

Located off the coast of Hong Kong, this terrifyingly terrific Macau Tower bungee jumping experience features in the Guiness Book of World Records; standing at a staggering 338 metres tall, it’s not hard to see why. Designed only for the fearless, jumpers should be prepared for one huge adrenaline rush as they fall from 63 stories, nosediving for around five seconds before coming to a halt 100 feet above the ground. But don’t worry, you won’t be stuck here for long! A guided cable car will come to your rescue, lowering bungee jumpers down slowly into a specially designed airbag, providing a soft ending to a daring drop. 

Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

Ever fancied jumping headfirst into a rainbow? Head over to Victoria Falls bungee jump in Zimbabwe, and you can do just this. Seeming like something straight out of a dream, this experience allows bungee jumpers to take the four second freefall, tumbling headfirst over the glistening Zambezi River that sits between two countries. 

Belogradchik, Bulgaria

It sounds like a Jackass stunt, but believe it or not, you can actually bungee jump out of a hot air balloon. This heart-racing experience is located in Bulgaria’s Balkan Mountains, enabling jumpers to get a glimpse of red tainted Belogradchik rocks that have formed over 200 million years. See if you can spot the disguised ancient fortress that lies quietly amongst them. 

Souleuvre Viaduct, Normandy

Escape to the Souleuvre Viaduct bungee jump, situated on what was once an old railway bridge and surrounded by a breathtaking valley. After plucking up the courage to walk across the 140 metre long suspension bridge and making your way to the jumping platform, peer down at your surroundings and prepare to take a dip. This is one of the few bungee jumping experiences that allows you to reach out and feel the water beneath your fingertips to cool off your post-jump nerves, so why not be one of the thousands that flock to this impressive destination? 

Titan Crane, Glasgow

Do you dare bungee jump off an A-listed crane? For those with a wild side, head over to Glasgow and experience a 150 foot bungee jump at 50mph towards the water that lies below. Boasting stunning Scottish views, from the River Clyde to the Erskine Bridge, why not take the Highland Fling?
