Hi,

Seems I'm on the same line as Jo...didn't do it and won't do it...not interested at wasting 100usd just for a 5 second jump....did twice skydiving...that's something....but did also the zero gravity flight...this is out of this world. I've got few entries on South Island, NZ...as well as the zero gravity flight out of Cape Canaveral in 2007. Reply to this

Skydiving is like nothing else - and times that by 10 when you get to jump by yourself :-) :-) :-)

If you do it as a tandem jump you have no 'job' to do except enjoy the ride :-)

Make sure you keep your eyes open!! Reply to this

The highest bungee jump in the world is supposed to be in Macau, and the 2nd highest is the Bloukrans Bridge in South Africa (even though they say they are number 1). You might as well go all out! Reply to this

Hi,

But Macau is on top of at tower....would go to SA or NZ.

From Shanghai Macau is nearer for sure....if you go there make sure you see the latest Cirque du Soleil show named Zaia....but that's out of topic.... Reply to this

Hi,

Only done one bungee (and probably that was enough for me!), but if you don't want to spend a fortune there was a small one in San Gil, Colombia that we did and it only cost us about 7GBP! We blogged about it if you want to check it out.
Good luck and enjoy...it is amazing! Reply to this

@Mark and Chrissie - I don't know if this is an activity I want to take the budget option on 😊

I did the ~200m one in New Zealand with A J Hackett - in 2002 - and - well - I don't feel the need to do it again now - but at the time would have jumped again 5 mins later for sure. Reply to this
