A 43 m bungee jump from the Sigulda cable car above the Gauja river; the operator lists single jumps from 99 EUR and tandem jumps from 149 EUR.
The Sigulda bungee jump is a 43 m drop from the gondola of the Sigulda cable car, suspended above the Gauja river valley in Gauja National Park, Latvia. The cable car station sits at Poruka iela 14, on the Sigulda side of the valley, and the jump takes place mid-span with the forested slopes, the river and the medieval castle ruins of the area below. Sigulda Adventures, the operator, lists single jumps from 99 EUR and tandem jumps from 149 EUR, and the experience is well established as one of the signature adrenaline activities of the Baltic states.
The activity is rated hard, mainly for its mental rather than physical demands. No special fitness is required, but participants must meet the operator's weight limits, be in good health and free of heart, back, neck or pregnancy-related conditions. Minimum age and weight rules apply and minors usually need written parental consent, so these should be checked with the operator before travelling. Tandem jumps are available for those who prefer to jump with a friend or partner. Equipment, including the harness and the elastic cord, is supplied by the operator; visitors bring closed sports shoes, comfortable clothing and identification.
Safety is managed through a briefing before boarding, a harness and weight check, and attachment to the bungee system by trained staff in the gondola. Jumps are carried out under the operator's own procedures, and after the jump participants are lowered or retrieved by the operator's team. Rescue is handled by the staff on site, and the cable car structure itself is a permanent installation. Visitors should ask the operator about its certifications and insurance terms when reserving.
The operating season generally runs from about May to October. Strong wind, thunderstorms, heavy rain and freezing conditions can stop jumps, and operators typically reschedule or refund in those cases, though terms should be checked when booking. Allow roughly 30 to 60 minutes including the briefing. Many visitors combine the jump with the cable car ride, the Zērglis zipline and the nearby bobsleigh track for a full day of activities around Sigulda, about an hour from Riga by train or car.
