Leap into Adventure… Head First

Standing 150 feet on a bridge deck above the Nanaimo River with a giant elastic band strapped around your ankles, adrenalin and exhilaration course through your veins in equal measures. And before you can second guess yourself, you’re catapulted screaming out into the air and a thrill of a lifetime bungy jumping in Nanaimo, the first bungy park to open on the North American continent. World famous bungy jumping at Wild Play Elements Park was named one of the top 100 things to do in Canada by The National Post in 2006, and now this is one act of daring-do you can cross off your life list.

And there’s a lot more Vancouver Island adventure waiting at Wild Play. The TreeGo Aerial Adventure Course is an elevated obstacle course suspended up to 50 feet off the ground in a forest of Douglas Firs. A series of challenging aerial exercises and activities includes 10 zip lines, suspended bridges, climbing walls, Tarzan rope swings, scramble nets and swinging logs.

Or you can take an acrobatic zip trek through a river canyon on the original “flying fox” zip line, or go tandem with a guide on The Canyon Zip course, gliding almost the entire length of a Nanaimo River canyon.

For the most intense free fall of your life, discover the meaning of G-force on the King Swing. Snapped into a paragliding harness, clipped onto a cable, you’ll be extended up into sandstone canyon cliffs before being launched like a rocket, dropping fast into a 150 foot abyss in a 140-kilometre an hour free fall.

Go wild. Fill your quota for adventure, thrills and fun in Nanaimo’s number one outdoor adventure park. For more visit, www.wildplayparks.com
