How Much Does Bungee Jumping Cost in the USA? (2026 Price Guide)

At several U.S. commercial bungee operators reviewed on October 8, 2026, a first jump starts around $140–$160 before applicable taxes and extras. The examples include $141.51 plus tax at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia; $149 in central Oregon; $150 at California’s Bridge to Nowhere; and $160 at Vertigo Bungee in Kentucky. Other formats cost more: Bungee Adventures, for example, advertises $249 tree and dam jumps. This is a selection of currently published operator prices, not a national average or a promise that a spot is available. [S1][S3][S5][S6][S7]

What Does the Basic Bungee Jump Cost Include?

A standard ticket generally buys access to the operator’s booked jump experience, including its required briefing and use of the equipment and staff for that activity. But the exact package varies. A $150 California outing is not equivalent to a $149 Oregon jump in terms of travel time and physical effort. Bungee America describes its Bridge to Nowhere experience as an all-day adventure with a hike through the San Gabriel Mountains, while Central Oregon Bungee says the on-site portion typically takes less than an hour. [S3][S5]

Before comparing prices, ask whether the quoted package includes only one jump, whether photos or video cost extra, whether you pay in advance, and whether spectators pay. Then compare the actual final price for the specific date you want.

What Different U.S. Bungee Packages Really Cost

Harpers Ferry: first jump, video, and groups

The Great Bungee Company lists a first jump at $141.51 plus tax, a same-person same-day additional jump at $70.75 plus tax, and HD video at $37.74 plus tax. Its jump + HD video + T-shirt bundle is $188.68 plus tax; two same-day jumps with HD video cost $250 plus tax. A prebooked group of at least six jumpers qualifies for a published first-jump rate of $117.92 per person plus tax. [S1]

For one visitor who wants a single jump and video, buying those items separately gives $179.25 before tax ($141.51 + $37.74). The $188.68 bundle costs $9.43 more before tax but also includes a T-shirt. It is not automatically cheaper; it is a different package. [S1]

The operator also lists a 10% military discount on the first bungee jumping cost only, subject to its verification rules. Do not stack discounts unless the checkout explicitly permits it. [S1]

A first jump price can rise quickly once you add optional extras like HD video or another same-day jump.

Central Oregon: repeat jumping changes the equation

Central Oregon Bungee Adventures publishes $149 for an individual’s first jump of the season and $49 for subsequent jumps, with a $29 operator-produced video option. That makes a first jump with video $178 before any additional charges; a repeat jump is not automatically $49 for someone who has never jumped with the operator that season. The operator also says group prices are negotiated individually rather than published as a fixed discount. [S3]

The jump is at the Crooked River High Bridge near Terrebonne, about 29 miles north of Bend, and the operator describes a typical season from May through October. Those logistics matter as much as the ticket price when selecting a date. [S4]

Southern California: more jumps, but a very different day

Bungee America lists one jump at $150, two jumps at $180, three at $210, and four at $240. Its homepage separately advertises additional jumps at $50, while other information may use different wording or rates. Because the package price and a separately purchased additional jump are not equivalent, check the active booking choice for your date. The operator also states that weekday or midweek trips not already opened require a minimum $1,000 in jump purchases across participating jumpers. Do not assume that a single $150 weekday reservation is available. [S5]

The company uses the Bridge to Nowhere in the San Gabriel Mountains, reached via a multi-mile hike with river crossings. This is not a quick roadside stop: consider footwear, supplies, daylight, fitness, and the opportunity cost of a long day. [S5]

Some bungee outings involve more than the jump itself. Hiking time, river crossings, and access conditions can affect the real cost of the day.

Kentucky and Northern California: watch the exact event format

Vertigo Bungee lists $160 for a first jump and $110 for an additional jump in the same session. Its posted 2026 information says events occur one weekend per month from May through October, and visitors using the spectator deck pay $20 with a waiver. It also says that it currently has no paid photo/video package. [S6]

Bungee Adventures advertises a $149 100-foot bridge jump and $249 tree or dam jumps in the Sierra Nevada region of Northern California. Dates and formats differ, so $249 does not mean “the normal California bungee price.” Verify the precise event you are purchasing. [S7]

How to Calculate Your Real Bungee Jump Budget

The most useful budgeting formula is: total outing cost = jump package + taxes/mandatory checkout fees + desired media + any spectator charges + transport and parking + food + accommodation (if needed). Only count costs that actually apply to your plan.

The jump ticket is only one part of the total outing cost. Travel, fees, meals, and optional extras can change the final price significantly.

Rather than inventing an average tax rate or hotel budget, use your real route and the operator’s checkout page.

Three Realistic Booking Scenarios (Before Travel)

Scenario 1: a single Harpers Ferry jump. Published price: $141.51 plus tax. If you also want HD video, the jump plus video totals $179.25 before tax. Transport and meals remain separate. [S1]

Scenario 2: a central Oregon first jump with operator video. Published first jump: $149. Published video: $29. Combined listed amount: $178 before any checkout additions or personal trip costs. [S3]

Scenario 3: a prebooked group of six at Harpers Ferry. The published group first-jump rate is $117.92 per jumper plus tax. Six paid jump spots therefore total $707.52 before tax, compared with $849.06 before tax for six standard first jumps. The arithmetic difference is $141.54 before tax, subject to group eligibility and current pricing. [S1]

These are transparent arithmetic examples, not quotes for your travel itinerary. A lower advertised entry price can still be the more expensive weekend after a flight, hotel, and rental car.

Is a Second Bungee Jump Worth the Extra Money?

Look at the marginal price, not just the package total. At Bungee America, the published two-jump package costs $180 versus $150 for one, an additional $30 within that bundle. At Harpers Ferry, a separate additional same-day jump costs $70.75 plus tax. Central Oregon advertises $49 subsequent jumps for qualifying repeat jumpers. These are different rules, so they cannot be ranked as if they describe the same offer. [S1][S3][S5]

If you are unsure whether you will enjoy the first experience, ask whether you can add another jump on site and how the rate is calculated. Do not pay for several jumps just because the effective per-jump price looks attractive.

Can You Save Money With Group Discounts?

Sometimes. Harpers Ferry publishes a price break for groups of six or more jumpers booked in advance. Central Oregon says group rates are arranged case by case. Vertigo’s limited event calendar means an available group date may be more important than a discount. Check the minimum paying jumper count, payment method, group organizer responsibility, and change policy before collecting money from friends. [S1][S2][S3][S6]

A discount is only useful if the group really meets the conditions. If one person withdraws, some operators will not refund or remove that spot. Harpers Ferry’s FAQ says booked participants cannot simply be removed without forfeiting payment. [S2]

Costs That Surprise First-Time Bungee Jumpers

Travel time can outweigh ticket savings

For a local driver, $150 may be close to the activity’s main outlay. For a traveler who needs a flight and two hotel nights, the jump becomes one line in a much larger trip budget. Choose by total itinerary cost, not by a $10 difference between jump tickets.

Video may be charged separately

Harpers Ferry lists HD video for $37.74 plus tax, and Central Oregon lists video at $29. Vertigo says it has no current paid video package. Never assume the promotional footage you see online comes with your booking, and ask whether your own camera can be carried during the jump. [S1][S3][S6]

Weather and cancellation policies may change your total

Harpers Ferry requires full payment for reservations, restricts late changes, and permits one eligible date change no later than 48 hours before the activity. It says severe weather can delay operations. Central Oregon also identifies lightning and strong wind as limiting conditions. This is why nonrefundable airfare or accommodation can increase the financial risk of choosing a distant jump location. [S2][S3]

Some spectators must pay

Vertigo’s posted fee is $20 for spectators accessing the deck, with a signed waiver. Elsewhere, designated spectator areas can be free. Confirm the policy for your particular venue and how close your companion will be allowed to stand. [S2][S6]

How to Choose the Best-Value Bungee Jump

If your priority is a single first jump near Washington, D.C. or Baltimore, Harpers Ferry offers a published first-jump ticket and relatively short on-site process. If you are already visiting Bend or central Oregon, the $149 Oregon option could be more economical than traveling across the country. If you want hiking and bungee in one full-day adventure, Bungee America offers a different kind of value, but it is not the easiest option for someone avoiding strenuous logistics. [S2][S3][S4][S5]

If you are buying for a group, start by asking the nearest viable operator for its real group conditions. If you are interested in a higher or specialized format, expect a different package and check exact event availability instead of relying on a national average.

Eligibility and Safety Before You Pay

A cheaper ticket is useless if you do not meet the operator’s participation requirements. Check age, weight, harness fit, footwear, relevant medical exclusions, access conditions, and whether you need a parent or guardian present. Requirements differ by provider. For example, Harpers Ferry currently lists a minimum age of 16 and an 80-pound minimum. Its current FAQ and jump page list a 320-pound upper limit, while an older-looking FAQ page elsewhere on the same website lists 300 pounds. Anyone near the limit should confirm directly before paying. [S2]

Bungee jumping carries inherent risk. Operator procedures, equipment requirements, weather, and participant health all matter; no price or marketing claim establishes that a particular jump is risk-free. If you have a health condition that may be relevant, ask the operator about its exclusions and seek appropriate medical advice before booking. Never assume another venue will apply the same rules.

Before-You-Book Bungee Jumping Checklist

Before booking, confirm the final price, restrictions, travel logistics, and weather or cancellation rules.

• Confirm the jump type, height, exact location, and actual date.
• Get the all-in checkout total for your chosen package.
• Ask about photos, video, repeat jumps, and spectator charges.
• Check age, weight, health, footwear, and accessibility restrictions.
• Read the deposit, cancellation, rescheduling, and weather rules.
• Estimate the full travel time, transport, parking, and any hotel costs.
• Confirm whether an optional discount applies to your group or date.
• Book only through a current operator channel and keep the confirmation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does one bungee jump cost in the United States?

At several commercial operators checked in October 2026, one standard first jump is listed at about $140–$160 before any applicable extras. Higher-priced formats also exist. This is a range drawn from actual examples, not a market-wide statistical average. [S1][S3][S5][S6][S7]

Is bungee jumping cheaper than skydiving?

In some cases, the published entry fee for a bungee jump is less than a tandem-skydive ticket, but a fair comparison requires live skydiving prices as well as the exact booking package, video options, and travel. This article does not offer a verified nationwide skydiving-price comparison; see our separate bungee jumping vs. skydiving guide for the experience-based decision. [S10]

Does bungee jumping include photos or video?

Not universally. Harpers Ferry and Central Oregon list separate video prices; some other operators have different recording rules. Check your exact checkout package. [S1][S3][S6]

Can a group get a bungee jumping discount?

Yes, some operators offer one. Harpers Ferry posts a group rate for six or more prebooked jumpers, whereas Central Oregon asks groups to negotiate rates. [S1][S3]

What is the cheapest way to try bungee jumping?

Start with a reputable current operator you can reach without a flight or hotel, then compare the single-jump checkout total. Skip optional media or additional jumps unless you actually want them. The nearest available venue can beat a lower ticket price several states away.

Final Recommendation

Plan around an operator’s real published ticket price, but make your booking decision using the full cost of the day. A first jump around $140–$160 is a useful starting point for several currently listed U.S. options; the correct number for you is the final booking total plus your transport and any optional extras. If you can reduce travel while still choosing an appropriate and available operator, you may save more than by hunting for the lowest advertised jump fee.
