A thriller in Macau⁠—try the highest bungee jump in the world

China’s exciting destination, Macau is known as a paradise for those who like to gamble, thanks to its casino culture. But did you know that Macau is also home to the highest bungee jump in the world? The thrilling ride could give you a Guinness World Record, like New Zealand entrepreneur, Alan John “A.J.” Hackett who made a 233 meter jump, which is the highest commercial bungee jump.
The bungee jump that we are talking about here is from the Macau Tower, which is now called the AJ Hackett Macau Tower Bungee Jump, and is a 233 m high jump. The bungee jump has been designed especially to withstand the height, and to make it safer. It has been designed with the use of specially designed bungee cord, guide cables, and even recovery system. All these were developed with the help of founder AJ Hackett and his team. His innovation and design has led to the formation of what we now call, second generation bungee cord. This cord is designed to be larger at the top than at the bottom, and this permits the weight to be distributed evenly throughout the length of it. According to the founder, such a cord will in fact allow us to jump from any building the world.


The free falling experience is of course the most exciting one that you can possibly ask for. It slows down 30 m away from the ground and shoots back up, so you can well imagine how that would feel.
The highest commercial bungee jump can be experienced even at nights, from 6 pm in the winter months. The jump is available from 7:30 pm during the summer months.

Bungee jumping and free Skywalk costs $3438, which includes a certificate, membership card, a t-shirt, and tower ticket. A second jump will cost you $1795.
