Bungee Jumping
Bungee jumping is the act of diving from a bridge, crane or platform and then being stopped by a cord that stretches in order to absorb most of the jumpers energy.

Paragliding
Paragliding is a sport where you fly through the air using a parachute-like wing. The paraglider’s shape and size make it resemble the wings or a soaring bird and the pilot controls their flight with their weight.
Air pressure holds open the fabric wing whilst the pilot has to hold on to a harness attached to wing. This allows the pilot to control the direction they glide in by shifting body weight in different directions.
This activity provides an incredible adrenaline rush as it can be quite dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing, and it can also be quite difficult to land safely after your flight.
