Let's start with a few cons and then all the great!Cons: Be prepared to hike five miles in and out. Bring snacks and water because it gets hot and there are many parts that are not shaded. I was not prepared for such a large group to be hiking out. I love being around people, but this being the case the hike took much longer than if i were to do it at my own pace. Maybe i am just a little impatient, but for anyone who is pretty active this could be a bother to move so slow. Only other con was the jump was not as high as i expected or hoped for. Still an amazing jump and experience, but for those who love a thrill keep that in mind.Pros: First of all the team and instructors are the ABSOLUTE BEST!! They love what they do are just hilarious! It was so nice to hike out and be around such fun people! I went by myself so they became my friends for the day! The equipment and set up at the bridge was amazing. They have a huge shaded cover which is nice at the bridge and the actual equipment is very nice (looks new). It was a great trip- they give you the option of waiting for everyone to jump (which would take a while) and hiking down as a group or they allow you to hike down on your own if you would like which i did- easy to find your way back if you follow the river!

This adventure is not for the faint of heart!!!! To begin with, there is a 5 mile hike into the desert canyon that is challenging for the average person. There are narrow trails on the edge of steep rocky cliffs and you have to cross the river over logs or scattered rocks about 10 times. We hiked the second week of September and it was 102 degrees or more in the afternoon. You hike into the canyon at 7:30 in the morning, but back out in the afternoon. Also, you hike out on your own and we got lost several times. The sun and heat were brutal on the return hike! The staff on Bungee America were wonderful! They were very personable and had great sense of humor, so they made it fun for everyone! Chris and Bryce were awesome!!! It was an incredible experience and I would absolutely recommend this to those adventure seeking people!!!!!!

Bungee jumping was amazing, I even enjoyed the 5 mile hike to get to the bridge and all of its beautiful scenery. I only paid for 1 jump but I recommend getting all 3, it's completely worth it.

A friend and I were vacationing in Los Angeles and decided we needed some adrenaline infused into our vacation, and bungee jumping seemed to be the answer.We easily made our reservations online and while the directions were a bit intimidating (directions by mile markers) we had no problem finding the parking lot.It was a pretty good sized group, and it's an awesome hike out to the bridge. My friend and I both had 4 jumps each - I'd highly recommend getting more than one, because after your first jump you're just going to want to go again and again! The more jumps you buy, you'll also have a chance to do an ankle dive.The staff was great and helpful and the experience was one to remember! If you want a great (and safe!) bungee experience, this is definitely the place to go.

i actually thought bungee jumping gave me more of an adrenaline rush than skydiving did. i'd recommend this to everyone! they bungee america team was great and all of them were pretty cute ;P do more than one jump! if you do one, i'd suggest the backwards dive. if you get up to three, i'd suggest the third one be the elevator drop. i loooooooooved bungee jumping. and make sure you get good pictures. if you post a good one on bungee america's facebook and they choose yours as the photo of the week, you get a free jump! guess who got that? MEEE! :D the hike isn't that bad either. expect the worse and once you do it, you'll realize it wasn't as bad as you thought. go jump!

I felt like I was above air and flying and was the captivator of my own kingdom. I was flying throught thin air. Great for adventures.

Bungee America is a GREAT company to go bungee jumping with! I HIGHLY recommend them! You meet extrememly early at Angeles National Forest, sign a waiver, get weighed, wait for everyone to check in, then you start the 5 mile hike to the Bridge of Nowhere. Once you are at the bridge, the guides (who are so much fun but also serious) go over the equipment, the dives and what is about to go down! They are extremely informative and are very cautious with everything. When one person puts the equipment on people and lock them in, they double check it and then they have someone else double check it. The jump was so thrilling! I paid for two jumps ahead of time and could've upgraded to more when I was there but didn't have the funds to do so or I would have. Many people upgraded to more jumps after they did one! There's 6 different types of dives that you could do. The ankle dive is only for those who have done I believe 4 dives and mastered the forward dive. I don't think anyone in my group did that dive! The dives I did were the forward and backward dives. Make sure you do as you are told. I put my head back on my backward dive which you shouldnt do (I'm a swimmer and thats how I do a backwards dive for the backstroke) and I ended up with whiplash for a few days! My forward dive technique was really good so I had no issues with that one! I was on vacation by myself so I did this with no friends. During the 5 mile hike in I made friends with 2 girls and a group of 4 (1 girl, 3 guys) so we all hung out after our jumps. The guides suggested if we had time to check out the river down below and go swimming!!! It was about 102 degrees out there so we definitely went down there. Be careful on the rocks. They are slippery!!!! One of the guys fell off the rock and broke his ankle!!! It was really gross to watch his ankle pop in and out! We helped get him to the bottom of the bridge so they could hoist him up on the bungee cord!!! It took us a long time to get him there!!!! He is a college student so he doesn't have very good medical insurance so he refused to get helicoptered out of there so we hiked him out of there 5 miles. The guides still had to clean up so we began the trek back to the cars (you can leave anytime after you are done bungee jumping, you don't have to wait for the guides)!!! Around the halfway point the guides met up with us and helped carry the guy out. A few of us went ahead so we could get the park rangers to meet them as far as they could go so they didn't have to carry the guy the whole way!!!Anyways, it was a great experience and the guides went above and beyond to help the guy out!!! I've made some friendships that I hope last a lifetime! :) I highly recommend this company!

This was my first experience with Bungee America on 2.1.14... payment was simple online... clear directions to meet up location... had a great 5 mile hike in to the bridge to nowhere... the staff were very friendly, and absolutely hilarious... I laughed the entire day. .. and when we got to the bridge, the instuctions that were given had everyone cracking up ... im a scared of heights but but the staff made me fell very comfortable and when it came time to jump I did not even hesitate... in fact I jumped before he hit "1"... lol. ... loved this experience and can not wait to do it again... Thank you Bungee America for a great experience. ..

This past weekend, me, my husband, and some friends did our first bungee-jump with Bungee America, and we were not disappointed!My #1 tip is to go with the 6am group! Here's a couple reasons why: 1. There's still plenty of parking in the lot at that time. And after a 10 mile hike, at the end of the day, you might not want to walk another mile or 2 just to get to your car, that's parked past the lot.2. Its not that hot yet during the hike (important if you're going in the summer). We started the hike at 6:30 am and had shade until 9:30 (when we got to the bridge).3. The group to bungee is usually smaller. We had a group of 20& didn't have to wait at the bridge for very long.4. You can get back to your car by 1-2pm (instead of 5pm, if you go with the 7am group).Bungee America sells the $5 Adventure Pass for parking or you can go to any sporting-goods store & purchase it beforehand. The pass is important if you don't want to get a ticket!Bungee America was very professional in all aspects, but were very fun & approachable. When you arrive, you have to sign about 4 pages of waiver forms & you get weighed. Afterwards, the hike starts right away. The pace of the group & the difficulty of the hike is intermediate. You cross the stream a couple times. It was August when we went, so the water was only ankle or knee-deep at most.I recommend to wear:1. Hiking boots or shoes2. Non-wicking socks3. Cap/sunglasses4. Lots of sunscreen5. Breathable hiking shorts and/or your swimsuit underneath your clothing (if you want to take a dip in the cold stream, during the hot hike)I recommend packing:1. A camelpack for water2. Gatorade, electrolyte packets, and/or fuel gels3. Sandwiches & dry snacks4. Extra clothes & flip-flops to wear at the bridge while you wait for your hiking shoes to dry.Now on to the Bungee...Bungee America told us they have had ZERO accidents. When we got to the bridge, they gave us a little information about the history of the company, their safety standards, & the equipment they use (and manufacture themselves). Then they taught us how to put the harnesses on. Ron (the owner) & Chris were very funny, friendly, & helpful. Anyways, there are 3 weight categories: Under 135, 135-180, and 180+. The lighter jumpers go first. All jumpers get a helmet. One Bungee America employee will check you & then a 2nd one will check you. You can only go barefoot or with shoes (no socks) on the platform. Once you go over the "invisible wall" & onto the platform, they count 1-2-3...and you jump! For beginners, there's the "backwards starfish" and the "forward superman." For the qualifiers, there's the "elevator drop" and the "lumberjack." They let you add more jumps, if you want. They also take "walk-ins," in case you were just hiking in the area & decided to bungee last-minute. A photographer is also there to take pictures of each jumper & the photo package is $25. Oh, yeah, there is also an "out-house" restroom at the bridge, that is available to Bungee America customers only. You can refill your water bottles at the bridge.The jump itself, was not scary at all! It was so fast, I didn't even feel the drop in my stomach! But the recoil bounced me around pretty good! For a couple minutes, you get to swing back-and-forth and enjoy the wind and the view!!:):)Please vote if this review was helpful! Thanks!:)
