"During our Corporate Castaways event it was wonderful to have everyone actively involved. There was a mix of strength, logic, trivia, and strategy, which created balance in the teams and in everyone’s participation. Since this event brought associates from 11 Milestones locations together, it was a great opportunity to create a social setting for networking. I had feedback that people were afraid of the term "teambuilding" (eg. do I have to close my eyes and fall backwards?) but throughout the day, everyone agreed that it was a great event, a lot of fun, and they trusted each other without feeling pressure. If I may quote Mastercard, I would say the experience was priceless." Milestones
nanaimo bungee jumping
Dive head first from a 150' high bridge on beautiful Vancouver Island!
Be brave... jumping in over your head is an excellent idea on your next visit to Vancouver Island. There are several ways to perform an ankle-fastened bungy jump at our Nanaimo bridge, and your experienced Jump Master will provide advice on how to maximize the bungee thrill. Choose a dry jump or take a real “plunge” into the Nanaimo River, we’ll strap you in and provide tips to achieve the adventure you’re looking for. For those who want some peer support (or just a good excuse for hug), tandem jumps are an option to share your plunge with a pal or loved one.
If jumping head first off a bridge isn't your idea of fun then come try the unique King Swing and fly across a 150' abyss over the beautiful canyon below.
Our staff truly believe that everyone needs to experience bungee jumping in their lifetime. They'll help calm your fears (or boost your enthusiasm) for the leap that will challenge your limits, and your idea of fun!
The "first on the continent" bungy jump over the Nanaimo River was ranked as one of the top 100 things to do in Canada by a 2006 National Post survey. It's not for everyone, but over 210,000 people have felt the rush and earned an amazing story to retell again and again. Now it's your turn!

Nanaimo King Swing
If jumping from a bridge head first isn't your idea of fun then come try the unique King Swing and take a royal ride across the canyon!
Some foolishly believe that this adventure is less incredible than Bungy Jumping, but even the most experienced staff still moan with sympathetic tension as they watch the free-fall action of the King Swing.
While strapped comfortably into a paragliding harness, thrill-seekers drop and fly across a 150’ abyss while pulling up to 2.3 in G-Force! Thrill-seekers who are kids at heart love the incredible speed and g-force experience of the King Swing. It is quite possibly our most breathtaking activity.
Nanaimo King Swing - Beginner
Swinging is back - for big kids! The Nanaimo River Canyon is the ultimate playground for this exciting flight. Guests (as singles or in pairs based on weight requirements) settle into a comfortable paragliding harness for full-body comfort and are clipped and cinched to a cable over the 150 foot abyss ready for a thrilling slingshot ride. Reaching speeds of up to 140 kms/hr, guests catch "feel it to your core" G-Force and amazing scenic views as the King Swing rockets through the canyon. After the first rush of adrenalin, guests can relax into the calm and gentle motion of the swing enjoying the boost of self-confidence that comes from pushing the boundaries!
