Experience bungee jumping in the beautiful wilderness of the Whistler Resort Valley nestled between old growth forests and rugged basalt column cliffs. This is a truly impressive location and set-up! The jump bridge is widely regarded within the industry as one of the most spectacular in the world. You’ll drop 160 feet to the crisp Cheakamus River below. It is operated by North America’s first commercial bungee jumping operators with a combined 27 years experience.

There are many different ways to jump. How adventurous are you?

Ankle/Waist: The traditional way to jump, gives the ultimate adrenaline rush as you fall head first towards the river. We always use a softer cord for this type of jump so there is less of a jolt on your body when the cord engages. The waist harness provides a secondary safety harness and allows you to be upright while you are being retrieved.

Chest/Waist: Jumping with a chest and waist harness provides both superior comfort and safety at the same time. The chest and waist harness keeps you in an upright position through out the rebounds and allows you to see more of the canyon while you are waiting to be retrieved. Different cords can be used for this type of jump to either give a faster, higher rebound or a softer slower rebound.

Tandem: To scared to jump by yourself, or a romantic way for a couple to feel the rush together. Yes you can jump tandem at Whistler Bungee. The way it works is that both jumpers are put in individual harness and are first hooked separately to the cord then hooked together as well. We recommend that the couple do not weigh more than 350 lbs unless you don't mind getting a little wet.

Disabilities: The great thing about Bungee Jumping is that almost anybody can do it including people with disabilities. The only thing that you need to be able to do is have pretty good finger and hand dexterity so you can attach the retrieval line to the harness system. The way it works is if you want to go off in your wheel chair we first put you in a waist and chest harness then we rig a separate harness system for the wheelchair. This way we put all the force on the chair and non on the person, this will not damage the wheelchair in any way. The easiest way to do this is we get 3 strong people to pick you up and throw you over the railing. Ton's of Fun.

At Whistler Bungee we winch you back up to the bridge after your jump. This provides :

  • another ride as you are getting hoisted back up
  • the ultimate in safety because the cord is never detached from the bridge in order to let you down to the river like other bungee sites.
  • the ability to high-five you buddies back on the bridge after you jump.

Whistler Bungee uses the latest technology in Bungee Cord design & safety. Cords are designed to stretch 4 times there original length for and extremely soft ride.

Each cord is rated for a certain weight range:

  • 50lbs - 130lbs
  • 100lbs - 150lbs
  • 150lbs - 200lbs
  • 200lbs +

Every cord is designed with a secondary high tensile strength dynamic webbing line that stops the cord from over elongation. If the jumper exceeds the weight range of the bungee cord, the back up webbing line will stop the jumper from over stretching the cord

Chest Harness: A fully adjustable figure eight design constructed with durable 2" webbing. Used in conjunction with the waist harness to provide a redundant harness system.

Waist Harness: An adjustable Waist Harness. Waist and legs are fully padded. Large "D-ring" attachment point at front. Safest and most durable harness on the market, designed for comfort.

Ankle Harness: One for each ankle, double padded with two buckles on each ankle, constructed with heavy-duty 2" mil spec webbing. Includes backup safety strap which is attached to a body harness system.
