Regulars at the world famous Super Tubes are Kelly Slater and Andy Irons, surfing legends the world over, but, even surfing heroes have to take a break from the water sometime and in Jeffreys Bay they find plenty of exiting activities to keep them occupied.
Just down the road is the world’s highest bungy jump at Bloukrans Bridge and with a jump of 216m it’s an adreline junkies dream come true. To gain access to the jump off point in the middle of the bridge a specially-engineered walkway has been constructed underneath the bridge which is an adventure unto itself.
Walking or hiking trails along the beachfront or through the indigenous coastal bush are popular even among the locals. Experience the beautiful Eastern Cape at the very beginning of the Garden Route on foot. Trails range from a comfortable 3km to a more challenging 15km - allowing both the novice and the veteran hiker an enjoyable, relaxing experience. This range in distance also means that this activity is suitable for families with young children. Many of the trails boast picnic spots and specially-appointed outlook points with spectacular views.
The Shell Museum is an affordable outing, suitable for all age groups. Jeffrey’s Bay is so well-known for the array of shells on our coastline, that we even host the annual Shell Festival. Visit the museum for a truly unique experience. The Shark Aquarium is a fun, educational look into the shark species living off our coast, providing a sometimes-eerie perspective of these beautifully dangerous creatures.
