Bungee Jump Experience Days: Bungee Jumps - thrilling, electrifying and utterly unforgettable! If you haven't done one, you definitely should ... you can't beat the massive adrenaline rush you'll get from throwing yourself off a platform 160ft high with just an elastic band around your ankles for safety! You might feel as though you're going against your better instincts, but you won't regret it ... you will recoil skywards with massive G force and it will certainly be a moment you remember for the rest of your life! After springing around for a while (which is great fun!) you will be slowly lowered to the ground, and you are sure to be buzzing for the rest of the day. This experience will leave you utterly exhilarated!

You will arrive at the location and make yourself known at the main desk; you will then be required to complete a membership form. You will then be weighed twice to ensure that the correct bungee rope is used for your jump. Next it is time for you to get into the harness and have the ankle straps attached. The professional staff perform a number of checks and double checks on all of the equipment. You will then enter the cage where you will be lifted to a height of circa 160ft. Now all you have to do is jump off! There will be a personalised DVD and merchandise available for you to buy on the day to remember your experience with.

Get someone the adventure of a lifetime and make it a festive season to remember!

I have always told myself I would never be able to do a bungee jump. However, when the opportunity came about I felt I couldn't say no. This was one of the most daring things I have ever done, but looking back now I am soo glad I did it. It was such an amazing feeling and I will definitely be doing one again- maybe with my eyes open next time.

Having always wanted to Bungee jump, (pretty much my whole life) but never had the chance - I really couldn't have been more excited. Upon arriving, the bungee staff were great fun and made everyone feel completely at ease...even those who were nervous. Standing with my toes over the edge of the cage, preparing to jump, the nerves set in, but the second they said "3,2,1 Bungee" all fear dissolved & the rush of adrenaline set in - it's just a shame that the free-fall was over so quickly - bigger & better for me, next time! Awesome views though.

Loved it! I've bungee jumped with you when it was set up on Hove Lawns - and now for two years running since the crane rocked up in the Marina. It's a great setting with seaside views - and as it was in the summer, a fantastic way to spend the afternoon! I recommend anyone try a bungee jump at least once - and if you get chance - as many times as possible! Falling backwards is much scarier - so the FAB (front and back) jump available here is ideal. 4.5 stars... reserving some improvement for the 400ft jump, which is next!!

The only downside is once you have your harness on there's no organisation on queuing, as found out when waiting people decided to jump in who clearly had there harness put on after myself.instead of waiting for around 30-45 minutes we waited an hour and a half. When explained to one of your colleagues he just shrugged his shoulders.overall I had a great day and would definatly recommend this day out but a queing system should really be put in place to stop people arguing.

A little expensive. the guy who stands there just before you jump and explains what's about to happen is well suited to his role, his name was ' TOMMY ' because he's quite matter of factly and tells you what you're about to do and how it's about to happen in a blunt way, which is good - it's quite reassuring - if he was too soft i don't think people would jump. give him a bonus or something

Awesome experience - completely scared the daylights out of our friend who's getting married... quality of the video from the guys was ok (lots of scrambling - might want to watch your DVD before you buy it), photos were great. AMAZING view at the top over all of Brighton (you can see for miles on a clear day). The jump was exhilerating - doesn't look that high when you're on the ground watching other people, but when you're up there, all of a sudden the fear creeps in. Special thanks to the guy in the cage helping everyone to jump - who convinced our friend to jump despite him saying otherwise!!

The bungee jump experience itself was great but I do have a complaint. I paid £15 for the DVD which was a complete rip off. The DVD was very poor quality, badly filmed and lasted just over 2 mins. It was atrocious and wouldn't have been worth having even if it had been free. If you are going to offer this type of merchandise then you should at least make sure it is of a satisfactory standard. Perhaps some training for the camera person would be in order.

Staff Review: Brighton Tandem Bungee Jumping Experience

Caly’s Review:

Every year, Experience Days hires two new interns to complete their placement and this year it was Connor and I. There is an annual tradition for the new interns to do a Tandem Bungee Jump to begin their journey in the company or else they get fired…. obviously I am joking, we don’t have to do it if we don’t want to! But it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that is on everyone’s bucket list, so why wait?

From my perspective, this Tandem Bungee Jump experience was rather thrilling. It seemed fun and exciting to be up in the sky, on top of the world for a little while, but to be honest I was petrified at the idea of free falling. 

When Connor picked me up from home to go on our experience, we both perceived a tall crane from the marina. At first, we thought it was for construction work because it seemed so high up, but the closer we were getting to the marina the more we could notice that it was not a construction crane, but a bungee jump crane. I instantly felt an adrenaline rush and quickly the feeling of confidence vanished out of the window.  

After parking the car, signing the papers, obtaining a brief, getting harnessed, and seated for the experience it was time to take off. Following all those procedures, Connor and I got called out to the cage and it was at this moment that the panic started filling up my body as I knew it was time. 


I felt goosebumps and sweat crawling down my neck as the cage was going up. I told myself not to look down because I knew it would make me panic even more. Obviously, I couldn't help myself; I had to look down, and I panicked even more. But there was no turning back now… we had to jump. 

At the top of the platform, we could admire the beautiful scenery of the marina and the city of Brighton, which was so unique. We were then directed by the guide in front of the gate for our jump. 

I was positioned to go backwards facing the cage, and Connor was facing me. The guide opened the gate, and 3, 2, 1 we were pushed off into the void. I instantly opened my eyes to see the world upside down; I felt like a bird, the air was fresh, and the feeling of free falling was indescribable. 

However, I do regret not opening my hands sooner because I was too afraid to let go whilst we were bouncing. Therefore, I would recommend not overthinking and just fly free with your arms wide open. Trust me, you won’t regret it.


When the experience finished, Connor and I laughed for a good 30 minutes reminiscing about our screams through the photos of us that were taken, and how it was so funny to see our faces up in the air. I am so grateful we got to do this experience together, and without a doubt I recommend it to anyone who is thinking of doing it. Memories like this are unique.

Connor’s Review:

For me, the Tandem Bungee Jumping experience was honestly something I never thought I’d be able to tackle! I cannot put into words how certain I was that I would pull out of taking part. The building of anticipation that mounted prior to the actual day was released as a major adrenaline rush as soon as I was about to be pushed off the platform. Driving up to the bungee jump, Caly and I could see the crane that we were going to be dropping from, for what seemed like miles upon miles away!

After standing below the crane, it became surreal as we watched other participants thrown around in the air, being suspended upside down by only a rope to keep them from plunging to the ground. Now I know that does sound scary, but it was safely carried out with the necessary procedures put in place, and the staff were incredibly skilled at putting us at ease – some staff were still up for a joke too if you’re that kind of person, like myself!

The ascension was possibly the scariest part of the bungee jump because it felt like a one-way tunnel, and I knew what was coming next. Reaching the top of the platform was amazing because we could see the entire landscape of the Brighton Marina as well as beyond! Then, this all changed as we were informed that it was time to plunge off the platform and experience what it feels like to fall 160ft!


My legs were trembling as we were standing on the edge, but I just took a breath, realised it would only last a split second and the initial falling was definitely the scariest part as my mind tried to grasp the reality of it all! However, before I knew it, I’d let my hands free to enjoy the rest of the freefalling as it genuinely felt like the closest anybody could get to flying. For the rest of the bungee jump, it was an enjoyable experience to participate in.

I cannot recommend enough how much anybody should give this a go. If you’re like me, I have always thought about wishing I had the confidence to complete it but never followed through with it. This did change as I can now proudly state that I have conquered this fear and successfully completed it! So, if you’re a little scared, don’t be anymore because if we can do it, then so can you; make sure to drop a comment to let us know if you would ever do a bungee jump! 

From both of us, a massive thanks to the team at UK Bungee for a fantastic experience we will not be forgetting in a hurry.

Q: Please could you tell us a bit about the history of UK Bungee and what inspired you to join the bungee jumping industry?

A: Bungee first started on 1/4/79 in Bristol when 4 members of the dangerous sports club jumped from the Clifton suspension bridge in Bristol. What most people don’t know is that Bungee jumping is a British invention. I jumped in Australia in 1991 and was hooked. Coming back to the UK The UK Bungee Club had just started operations. I became a Roadie and worked for the club more or less every weekend during the summer of 1992 completing all my exams to become a site controller. By 1993 the bubble had burst with only a handful of operations left in the UK. We decided to put a 300ft Crane next to the Thames in Battersea and we have never looked back. Today we offer 10 locations nationwide including Belfast at heights of 150ft, 300ft and 400ft plus the only Bridge in the UK plus the world’s only indoor Bungee. Overseas operations have included Moscow, Abu Dhabi, Thailand, Brazil, Australia and South Africa to name but a few. The UK Bungee Club continues to be market leader in the UK for Bungee jumping and safety consultation with the health and safety executive.

Q:  How has the bungee industry or customers’ understanding of bungee changed over the years?

A: In the early days people were naturally scared of the product which was kind of the point. People were sceptical of the safety approach and the public needed educating. We were regularly inspected by local councils which we welcomed to spread the word regarding safety and that our operations were professional and run with integrity. Bungee is now recognised as a highly safe activity run by professionals. British health and safety is the best in the world and so by its very nature the attention to safety has been very high from inception back in 1992 when the company started. The general public know that with 25 years’ experience we are the company to jump with.

Q: What’s the most frequently asked question by customers?

A: Believe it not have you killed anybody and will I die. Thankfully the answer is no to both of these.

Q: What’s next for the Bungee Industry in the UK? Any exciting news to share with us?

A: We are looking at our 25 year anniversary next year on the 16th July so potentially we are looking at a 400ft Crane jump at Wembley Stadium. Look out for information on the Experience Days website!
