If you like adventure, you’re in the right place. I’ve always liked a safe life, where I don’t take risks, I know every step I’m taking, and if something goes differently than planned, there’s a possibility I’ll freak out. That’s all in my daily life, but when it comes to experiences, I’m a little different. I like to live as if it were my last day, I like the feeling of butterflies in my stomach and trying new adventures.

If you’re like me, let me tell you about my first time jumping off the edge, just kidding, my first time bungee jumping.

To begin with, it couldn’t be more special because everything happened here in Canada, just the way I always dreamed. Whistler Bungee, which is a 15-minute drive from Whistler Village, is the highest bungee jump in all of British Columbia, and it was there that I felt the greatest freedom in the world.

In June 2025, my family came to visit Canada for the first time and to see the city where I live. That’s when I saw my great opportunity to fulfill one of my biggest dreams. With a distance of almost 2 hours between Vancouver and Whistler and not having a car, I thought it was never the right time, but as soon as I knew I was going to take my family to see the city, I thought it was the perfect chance.

The place where you jump is a bit hidden, in the middle of the forest, and only those who have actually been there know the beauty and peace that place conveys. I confess that I wasn’t calm at all, but I swear that the sound of nature is very calming.

The jump is done in the middle of a valley, surrounded by mountains, trees, and right below you is the Cheakamus River, which only makes the adrenaline even greater. The view you have in the seconds before the jump is like a painting on a canvas; it’s a landscape impossible to describe.

And Whistler Bungee is part of the history and culture of British Columbia. It comes from the connection Canadians have with nature and showcases the true beauty of the province’s landscapes.

And the jump? How to explain the feeling of freedom and despair at the same time. Without thinking too much, I jumped as if it were the last day of my life, and it was as if during the fall I was on a Disney roller coaster, only much scarier. The first few seconds when you’re already at the bottom, you don’t understand what just happened, it feels like you go into shock, but after 10 seconds your first thought is “How did I not do this before? I need this feeling again and again and again.”

If you’ve never bungee jumped, jump. If you have the opportunity, this is the time, free yourself and immerse yourself in the vastness of nature in the middle of Whistler, it’s worth every second.
