Bungee jumping - Sunway Lagoon


Have you ever tried bungee jumping? Would you like to try it? Let’s do it at the Sunway Lagoon’s Extreme Park’s suspension bridge – the first permanent bungee jumping site in Malaysia!!! 

Definitely, bungee jumping is not for the faint of heart. If you are looking for adrenaline pumping fun, let’s take this ultimate leap of faith from 22m above the water, a height equivalent to a nine-storey building. 


Jumpers will have the option of doing either individual bungee jump or the water-touch which allows the jumper’s head to touch the water before the bungee cord pulls the jumper upwards.

You would have to be at least 10 years of age in order to participate and have to be of a minimum weight of 35kg or maximum of up to 285kg.
