Whistler Bungee

What Whistler Bungee does

Whistler Bungee is a privately held, single-location adventure tourism operator based in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada, founded in 2002. The company runs a guided bungee jumping experience from a bridge over the glacial-fed Cheakamus River, where participants descend 160 feet (50 meters) in a setting framed by basalt column cliffs, old-growth forest, and the Black Tusk peak. Operations are year-round in all weather except lightning, and the company advertises a perfect safety record since opening. The headcount is small (7 employees), with a Whistler Village booking office and the bridge site located 20 minutes south of town on Calcheak Forest Service Rd.

The core product is the bungee jump itself, offered as solo or tandem (combined weight under 300 lbs), with a mandatory Release of Liability Waiver and a minimum weight threshold of 75 lbs. Ancillary revenue is generated through an on-site professional photo upsell at $45 per jumper (delivered via Airdrop on iPhone or Nearby Share on Android) and non-refundable gift certificates. Pricing is unit-based, full pre-payment is required at booking, and cancellation within 24 hours (72 hours for groups of 10+) is non-refundable.

The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer. Reservations are taken through an embedded FareHarbor booking widget on the company website, via phone (toll-free and local lines), or in person at the Whistler Village booking office; walk-ups are accepted at the bridge with prior booking. Marketing relies on the website, an email newsletter signup, social media presence, and word-of-mouth. The customer base is thrill-seeking tourists and adventure enthusiasts visiting the Whistler resort area, with no enterprise or B2B channels disclosed.
