Walk beneath the roadway of Bloukrans Bridge, peer 216 metres down into the gorge and try the tethered HangOut lean — a compact, family-friendly skywalk experience on the Garden Route.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto the walkway and the world narrows to the arch beneath your feet and the Bloukrans River slicing the gorge 216 metres below. Wind threads the span, and the highway above hums like a distant thought; every breath brings the steep geometry of the bridge into sharp focus.

History
The Bloukrans Bridge was engineered during the late 20th century as a key N2 link; its bungy operation later became one of the world’s most famous commercial jumps.
Conservation
The area sits on the edge of coastal fynbos and sensitive riverine habitats; stick to paths and avoid leaving litter to protect endemic plants and bird species.
Reserve your spot on the Bloukrans Skywalk Tour today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Secure your camera
Bring a camera tether or phone leash — gusts and the exposed deck can easily jostle loose gear.
Layer for wind
Coastal winds can be chilly even on warm days; a light windproof layer helps you stay comfortable during the walk.
Arrive early for light
Morning light reduces glare in photos and typically delivers calmer wind conditions for a steadier walk.
Not for those with heart issues
The experience is physically easy but exposed heights and adrenaline can stress cardiovascular systems — avoid if you have heart conditions.
Closed-toe walking shoes
Stable grip and foot protection for the bolted walkway and access areas.
Windproof jacket
Blocks gusts that are common on the bridge and keeps you comfortable during the tour.
