Our instructors will prepare you for the jump with the highest quality equipment on the market (helmet, carabiners, integral harness, ropes...). They will inform you about how you can and should make the jump and will help you by securing the equipment to guarantee your peace of mind and safety at all times.

This type of jumping differs from conventional bungee jumping in the fall, since here you do not fall vertically, but when the jumper reaches the bottom and bounces he will swing from one side to the other of the bridge like a pendulum. But calm down and enjoy every second because, although it may seem incredible, bungee jumping is one of the safest sports that exist.
