Whistler Bungee

I always said,
If I find a bridge to jump off of .I will. Well, I did a little looking and saw we would be within 60 miles of Whistler Bungee AND a few hours to kill. I had to go!
Easy to find plus an awesome scenic winding road to get there from Vancouver.
Once we got there we found a solidly constructed bridge over a beautiful valley, with a river running through it. Knowledgeable upbeat staff, and well maintained looking equipment put my safety concerns at ease.
I did «jump» off and dove out… but after… I wish I had jumped a little more aggressively and swan dove it off… Definitely intimidating standing at the edge, but what a thrill.
I would recommend this to anyone!

The staff were all very friendly and helpful. It was a fun experience jumping «mandem» with my boyfriend. The scenery was very beautiful and there was a nice little trail that you can walk around and see the other jumpers and the fall. The photos were pricy so I suggest bringing your own phone or asking people behind you waiting to help you take pictures. Or if you’re going to buy the pictures bring your own USB so you don’t have to pay for theirs. The free Tshirt was a nice bonus at the end.

OMG it was amazing!!! The staff there are really nice people, and the valley is beautiful (and scary when you look down from the bridge). And they take GREAT PHOTOS!!! I loved my first bungee jump!

Talk about an awesome experience! I had never gone bungee jumping before I went here, but I would do it over and over! It’s 160 feet if I remember correctly and the view is breathtaking. I personally found that it was easier jumping above the river than it would be in an indoor or urban setting — I was in nature discovering a new thrill. I wish I could remember the name of the guy that helped me up on the bridge. He had dreads and he was so cool. He made it easier for me to jump because he was so friendly and easy-​going, it felt like I had known him for longer than the 5 minutes I actually did. The girl that tried to jump before I went certainly tested this guy. He was so patient with her. I’m not kidding when I say she tried for like 25 minutes (they let some people go in between her two attempts). He didn’t try to pressure or guilt her and let her go at her own pace. He always had her safety in mind, even when she didn’t (she tried to leap at one point but quickly reached back to hold on to the railing, which could have gone a lot worse than it did). Honestly, if you want to try bungee jumping, the best way to do it is without any hesitation. The longer you wait up there, the harder it gets. As soon as you get to 1, don’t think, just jump! I guarantee you’ve never felt a rush quite like it. You get a couple of seconds of free fall, which I think is perfect for a first time. A shorter height wouldn’t be as worth it and a longer height would be harder to execute. They’ve never had an accident since they opened in 2002 and even the dog that stays there has gone (apparently he loves it haha). The photographer also takes wonderful shots! Have a friend or someone videotape your jump, but you probably won’t take better photos yourself. If you’re in Whistler and you love this sort of thing, I highly suggest going! It’s hard to explain, but I felt so alive for the rest of the day and couldn’t stop smiling after I went.

A once in a lifetime opportunity. Can’t say enough positive things about the experience. The staff is outstanding, and know how to gently push you to jump. The views are breathtaking and the jump itself is unforgettable. I plan to do this every year on my Whistler vacation. If you’re even thinking about it, take the plunge!!!

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME. I want to go again. I was absolutely terrified so I went tandem with my husband on his birthday. The experience was outstanding. Staff was very quick and professional. I will definitely be back to jump again sometime. I was SHAKING with adrenaline for quite a while afterwards. What a great feeling!

Best bungee jumping experience I think anyone could ever have. I love how it’s a special bridge made only for bungee jumping and not some random spot the company just picked. Staff is amazing and friendly. I would recommend this place to everyone!

Going in to my first jump I was terrified and convinced I would chicken out so you know its an amazing experience if I came back to do it a second time a couple months later! Between my two jumps I’ve had two completely different jumps and would have to say the only constant was the adrenaline rush that lasted in a huge grin I couldn’t get rid of the rest of the day. And the scenery. wow! Two jumps in two different seasons and the view was breath-​taking both times.
Jump 1: A group of us drove our own car to the site as we had a couple spectators joining us. There were 3 of us jumpers in total, all first timers, and although we had our own order made up before arriving they changed it up a bit for us by making the most scared person go first. It wasn’t me by the way! Smart move on their part as the first jumper admitted later that if she had to watch us she wouldn’t have jumped. The staff was great as they encouraged nervous first timers to go without being pushy, which was great. The ride up was bumpy but nothing a car couldn’t handle. This jump was mid-​August, the weather was beautiful, the bridge was busy but the staff was awesome so they kept us entertained while others were jumping. Oh and I jumped backwards. the rush of not being able to see where you’re falling is oddly exhilarating.
Jump 2: This time I took the shuttle up because it was the middle of winter and thought they would have an easier time navigating the roads. It was a completely different experience as there was snow everywhere and so it was much less crowded than the first time. And I decided to do it a little different and go face-​forward and I gotta say. backwards is wayyy better!

Well it’s bungie jumping so of course it was amazing…
However the guys and gals there were all very helpful and had a great sense of humour… Joked with my boyfriend to get him to go (but at no point pressured him). You do have to pay for photos, but they take them for every jump… And the photographer was amazing. Beautiful site, and a great way to end a trip to Whistler…
If you’ve never jumped before and are thinking of it… Stop thinking and book yourself in ;) it’s an amazing experience!

A friend of mine was interested in bungee jumping, so we accompanied her to the jumping site for the jump. The road to the bridge is a forest service dirt road, lots of potholes and puddles. We elected to drive straight to the site ended up with a muddy car. Although it’s a dirt road, the condition is such that a 2WD sedan would be able to easily reach it.
The staff were very friendly and supportive, and were very supportive of our nervous friend while on the bungee platform. The British photographer was excellent and took some splendid shots of the jump.
If anybody has a gopro or any camera capable of being strapped tightly to your body, I’d definitely recommend bringing one to get some first person views of the jump. For those who need to wear glasses, it’d be recommended to either wear contacts, or string up your glasses to prevent them falling off and apply antifog coating. My friend’s glasses fogged up in the jump and she was unable to see anything.
Happy jumping!

I was going over some travel photos I had taken, and I came across some videos and pictures from my Canada trip back in 2011. I can definitely say that Canada has some of the most beautiful scenery, most adventurous people, and adrenaline pumping excursions I have ever come across. Every day was an adventure.
Whistler Bungee is one of those places that I remember most vividly. It is located at an incredibly gorgeous site, right above the Cheakamus River just outside of Whistler Village.
I have always wanted to bungee jump, and found this place as I was searching for some killer adventures to go on as I went through Canada. I bought a camera especially for this (it could easily strap on my wrist, and get the whole footage from a first person viewpoint), and got killer footage. The staff was super accommodating and fun; they really made the experience and day memorable. Everybody there was ready for adventure and cheered others on as they jumped.
Before I knew it, it was my turn, and I was hooked up to the bungee cord (the chest harness, since I had back surgery as a kid). I went to the platform and just dove off, no time to second guess.
I felt the words «Sh******t!!!» fly out of my mouth as I plummeted towards the turquoise river. The trees became a blur as I was pulled back up into the air. I could hear the rapids more clearly, roaring over my screams.
Eventually the whipping around became more calm, and I hung there above the river, taking in the scenery. It was calm; I was calm. It was breathtakingly beautiful, and as I was being pulled up I took photographs of the lush landscape around me.
Such a wonderful experience; a must-​do for anybody visiting BC!!!

I had a great time at Whistler Bungee, the emplyees were super friendly and understanding of newbies. The location is just beautiful, and as a photographer I definitely appreciated the quality of the images that they gave to me. All around A+

Awesome! Very friendly employees, always kept you entertained and safe.
Location and Views were incredible. Will do it again.
Photographer got some awesome photos with perfect face expressions. Recommend to anyone who wants to bungee, choose Whistler Bungee.

Beautiful location… amazing experience. My fiancé and I both jumped last January on a vacation to Whistler. It was exhilarating. Staff was all wonderful and we got some great photos.

I had the pleasure of jumping at Whistler Bungee during the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. I took advantage of a special offer for Security Officials — $ 70 total. If I recall correctly, it was 50% off.
My bungee jump with Whistler Bungee was my first jump. Despite the heavy discount, it was an astounding and exhilarating experience. The staff at Whistler Bungee provided superlative client service. They were friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. They play a big part in each person’s jump being a memorable experience. Their enthusiasm and encouragement was definitely contagious with all the jumpers.
Consider jumping with Whistler Bungee. You will be very hard pressed to find a more beautiful location, with superior customer service.

TITLE: Johnson Excellent Bungee Adventure: How I Received a Jane Austen Novel.
I did a couple of jumps a few years ago with Whistler Bungee — I enjoyed it and recommended to my buddy who wanted to tick off a few items from his bucket list. So happened, I also accompanied to film his jump.
The booking office is in Whistler village, but the jump site is 3 km off the Sea to Sky. As Dave G. noted, the dirt road is quite treacherous with monstrous potholes — unless you have a worthy truck, I would recommend driving the extra distance from Vancouver into Whistler so they can shuttle you to the site. If you decide to lump in some offroading with your bungee jump, there’s a small parking lot on-​site once you’ve managed to pilot down the one lane road servicing both incoming and outgoing traffic.
Once on site, it’s a quick hike to the bridge and you’ll be signing your life away with various waivers in no time. They also set up some viewing areas off the bridge — so it’s great for spectators. They used to have the ‘traditional’ bungee harnesses (bound by your feet) — but looks like it’s now all the center harnesses which free up your arms and legs, so you can flail your limbs like a ragdoll as you scream like a little bitch.
Here’s a few pointers for first time jumpers:
— bring someone to video your jump — if not, they will sell you some pretty well-​done still photos for about $ 40. Or grab a spectator you can trust with your camera — there’s usually plenty of people around
— think about whether you want to jump forward (i.e. forward dive) or backwards (I recommend doing a ‘Jesus’ fall). I’ve done both, and counter-​intuitively, it’s much scarier and exhilarating to jump backwards (the staff agrees with me) — you feel like your stomach will burst through your chest. Even though I’m pretty sure I’m the only person that heard it when I Jesus-​jumped, I’m pretty sure my sphincter slammed shut with a mechanical clanging sound. And the best part, the photos as you fall backwards will clearly show your face in base abject terror.
— it’s about ~$ 120 for your first jump and you become a ‘lifetime’ member and a souvenir t-​shirt is included– all following jumps are about ~$ 80 — so it’s cheaper if you jump both ways.
— I would strongly recommend yelling out a line before or as you jump. My buddy had a line in mind, but with the anxiety and the staff doing a hard countdown (I suppose to prevent people from freezing), he completely forgot and just went silently when they yelled, «GO!».
I took my cue from Geronimo and Leroy Jenkins. If the harness failed on my jump, my famous last words would have been, «Alright chums, let’s do this: JOOOOOHHNSOOOON CHAAAAAN!» That would have been a pretty boss death. I ultimately chose that line since I figured it would have been much easier to explain to my mom at my closed-​casket funeral rather than «Hey girls — look at me!»
Anyways — highly recommended and it’s cheaper and more fun and visceral than skydiving. The staff is hilarious and very professional. My buddy noted how confidence-​inspiring it was they were using duct tape to repair some non-​mission-​critical equipment and the staffer decided to add duct tape to his harness, «just in case».
As my buddy was settling up the bill and picking up the photo CD, we had to ask why they had Jane Austen and a book on the study of the female anatomy on the office desk. They explained someone left the books here a few months ago and forgot to pick it up — and they asked if we would like to take it.
So, in addition to the souvenir shirt and photos/​videos of his jump — my buddy got «Jane Austen — The Complete Novels». Nothing commemorates a bungee experience better than 18^th century English gentry romance novels.

The first bungee jumping experience should be one to last in the memories of a lifetime, and Whistler Bungee definitely made that come true. I’m from Southern California visiting Canada over summer break with my family and this was something that was top of my to-​do-​list.
The staff was very very friendly and made me feel comfortable with doing something way out of the ordinary. They joked around when it was time to joke around and at the same time, were very serious and specific when it gave to giving instructions and rules. Whistler Bungee has a all time safety record, so going into it, I wasn’t very nervous. However, it was still nice that I was comfortable standing at the edge of the platform waiting to jump off knowing that there was a group of experienced staff who knew exactly what to do.
The only downside was the price ($ 180/​person), but in the end, it was well worth it!

My friend and I were determined to bungee jump. We had had a lot of friends jump, and we wanted to be part of the cool kids club. We never found time in the winter (although they are open 7 days a week year round) so we went on the last day of my visit in July. I had sprained my ankle two days before while snowboarding, but I was bound a determined to go.
The jump site is about 10k away from Whistler Village. They have a contract with a local taxi service to bring people from the village at no fee to the participants (although tipping the driver is appreciated). My friend, a couple random other jumpers and I jumped into a yellow taxi and away we went.
The bridge wasn’t as big as I thought it was going to be. Still bigger than any bridge I had ever jumped off of, but still, relatively small. I was a tower diver for a lot of my life so heights don’t really get to me. That was, until I was standing at the ledge looking down into the rushing water and realized I was about to die.
«1…2…3…Jump.» I stood there frozen. The guy helping me looked at me again. «You can do this. Ready? 1…2…3…JUMP.» Still no go. Finally I scream «LET ME DO IT WHEN I’M READY.» «1…you can do this…2…you used to do running jumps off of 10 meters and you were fine…3…GO!» I jumped off, but instead of just jumping I did a double back flip. I had asked if it was OK to do that before hand and they said it was as long as I was in the chest harness. As I couldn’t do the ankle harness because of the sprain, I was game. I think the back flips actually made it less scary. I’m used to jumping off heights flipping so this was just another day in the office. That was, until all of a sudden I felt the pull of the rope and was pulled out of my tuck. For the next minute I just hung there as I was slowly lifted to the platform.
My friend went next and we were both high on adrenaline. So much so, we forked over more money we didn’t have and did it again.
If you’ve never bungeed before, I would definitely recommend this place. It was fun, safe and… did I mention fun?
