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.
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.

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.
The skywalk sits on one of the Garden Route’s most audacious engineering feats — a steel arch first completed to carry the N2 across the Bloukrans gorge. Bungy history here runs deep: commercial leaps from this bridge helped shape modern adventure tourism in South Africa. The gorge itself is carved from ancient sandstone and shale, its cliffs telling a slow geological story while coastal fynbos clings to narrow ledges.
Local culture around the site is practical and outdoors-first: outfitters, small cafés and guides serve visitors who come for views, jumps, and the nearby Tsitsikamma trails. The skywalk tour combines a short museum briefing on bridge engineering and bungy history with a guided, harnessed walk bolted to the underside of the roadway and an optional HangOut Zone “lean out” for a tethered edge experience.
Expect easy walking but exposed heights; the tour is family-friendly (minimum age 8 with supervision) and lasts about an hour. Wear closed shoes, layer for coastal wind, and bring a camera with a secure strap. Morning light is best for photos and calmer air; watch weather closures — high winds or heavy rain will stop operations. The Bloukrans skywalk is a compact, high-adrenaline way to read the landscape at scale and feel the gorge push back as you move across it.
easy.
1 hour.
Minimal fitness required — must be able to walk short distances and stand on an exposed walkway
Yes — children from age 8 can participate with parental supervision; staff fit harnesses and operate safety lines for the HangOut Zone.
The HangOut Zone is optional and secured with a full-body harness and dual safety lines; however, the experience still exposes you to the edge and may not suit everyone.
Tours are weather-dependent; high winds or heavy rain will result in cancellations for safety and refunds if cancelled at least 24 hours before departure.
The guided tour runs about 60 minutes; bookings are instant and advance reservations are recommended during peak season for guaranteed slots.
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.
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.
Bloukrans Bungy operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
