If you are ready to taste the thrill of bungee jumping,
here are 5 of the best jump sites in the world that you should visit.
1. Macau Tower, Macau, China
It is one of the highest bungee jumps in the world. Macau Tower, also called the AJ Hackett Tower, allows you to jump from a height of 764 feet and the cord jerks you only when you are merely 98 feet from the ground. The jump lasts a thrilling 17 seconds, but it is worth the adrenalin rush and thrill you will experience.
2. The Nevis, Queenstown, New Zealand
The Nevis can easily earn the title of being the most frightening bungee jump in the world. To reach the Nevis, you need to drive on a bumpy mountainous road to reach the gorge and only a 4X4 can traverse the road. At a height of 134 meters is a precariously perched cabin that can be accessed by an open-air cable car. Once you reach the cabin, you can enjoy a free fall for about eight seconds.
