Q. If I jump naked, can I go for free?
A. A very old and established tradition, we only allow naked Bungy Jumps one weekend per year in our off season for a special event. This event held annually in February now raises funds for the BC Schizophrenia Society (BCSS). With 100% of the proceeds benefitting the BCSS, the registration fee for naked bungy jumpers is heavily discounted, but we also allow people to bungy jump fully-clothed at the regular price to support this charity. Spectators are charged an entry fee. You can register online one month prior to the event.

Q. Is it possible for a physically disabled person to Bungy Jump?
A. Anyone can Bungy Jump as long as they meet the age and weight restrictions and complete the waiver form.

Q. Does the jump jerk your body?
A. No, the ride is actually very smooth because the cords are made of rubber which absorbs the shock.

Q. Are there refunds if I don't jump?
A. No, there are no refunds. We do give you a "chicken ticket", which allows you to come back another time and try again. This ticket is not transferrable but does not expire.
