Restored suspension bridge thanks to contributions from bungy jumping revenue. The gorge itself looks mighty impressive.

**★★★★★ Sadie S — a month ago

Visited here during the week. We managed to get a parking although there wasn't much available. Its free and conveniently located. We watched a few people bunjy jump off the bridge and do the swing. There's some information about the bridge and the history. You can get drinks and some food inside and buy tickets for the different activities. Highly recommend, even if just to watch.

This is worth visiting to see brave souls doing the bungy jumps and the other adrenaline pumping activities, as well as the bridge.

Nice walking across the bridge... Lots of history with the bridge.

Many cyclists use this area too for their cycling. Great place to visit.

Visited on a Thursday afternoon unfortunately we didn't catch any bungy jumpers but the view is very nice. Have an accessible parking. Very old and historic bridge

**★★★★☆ Rohan Jose — 2 months ago

Beautiful spot and definitely worth stopping by! The bridge is historic and incredibly scenic, with amazing views of the turquoise river running through the gorge. Even if you’re not doing the AJ Hackett bungy, it’s fun watching others take the jump — the energy and atmosphere are great.

The walkway is easy, the area is well maintained, and it's a perfect quick stop for photos. Parking was simple and everything is clearly signposted. You don’t need a ton of time here, but it’s a memorable stop
