I saw a TikTok video of people bungee jumping and to my surprise, it was right next to Montreal where I'm from, in Chelsea QC. While today, they're unable to advertise themselves as the highest bungee jump as Montreal built a taller one in 2025, if you can make the drive or you're nearby, I highly suggest you check out the place in Chelsea instead
Not only is the view and experience much better, but it's the only place I know in Canada where I can proudly say you can bungee jump into a lake and dip your head (and body) in as you fall.
The zipline is also a must as it's right next to the bungee and you can do both experiences back to back. In our case, as we came early and weren't late, it took us around 1 hour to do the full experience.
Of note: The zipline offers a seated or "superman" version and the staff highly recommended the superman version as it's much more rarer to find. I highly agree and it's a lot more fun and not scary at all once the experience starts. Just watch out, at the end of the zipline, the experience ends a little abruptly which is a bit of a shock, so worth it to be a little mentally prepared once you pass the man-made white pier in the middle of the water. The bungee rope tie position can be on the ankles (straight) or the chest (star fish). They suggested the ankles so we went with that, but a fair warning - I managed to go pretty deep in the bungee and my right ankle got triggered and inflamed. For the rest of the day, it got sore and it was pretty difficult to walk. Luckily it got much better after 24 hours. The website does warn you about it, so be prepared if you were planning on walking a bunch after, the star fish might be the safer option. They also offer you options on the length of the bungee. If you want to dip into the water, they suggest taking the longer version of the rope which I did. There's no guarantee that you can make it to the lake, but in my case, over half of my body got soaked (I'm 6 feet). It's a really fun and unique experience, but the whiplash is pretty intense, and was probably the cause of the ankle injury mentioned above. They offer video recordings of both experience and I highly suggest you buy them. It's well worth saving your experience in video format. Note that on site, you'll need to dump everything on you (phone, wallet, etc.) in your car as there's no lockers. You can hand your car key to the receptionist. Finally for the actual bungee, you can choose between jumping forward or backward. If you don't think you have the courage to jump, I suggest taking the backward option - worse case scenario, they'll hang on to your rope and let you go. However, the best experience is really you jumping forward. This requires a tremendous amount of courage though and there's a limit of around 15 minutes I heard, before the jump is considered a failure and you'll need to return. They cannot push you either so you really need to muster everything in you to do it. It's a really rewarding experience once...

There are no words to accurately describe the experience but here we go. The crew, Zaccharie, Marie, Orin and Abby. I traveled 10 hours, 600 miles for two jumps and I would travel 6,000 miles for another if it included Zaccharie, Marie, Orin and Abby! The engagement, professionalism, competency and genuine authenticity of these individuals was top tier. This was my first bungee jump experience and I am in love, and may have truly unlocked myself. This would not have been possible without the sincere engagement of these individuals and the environment they created!
Abby’s engagement with her full time and attention after my first jump was compassionate and touching. “Your smile has made my week!” brought such warmth and an element of genuine acceptance for me.
Zaccharie and Marie on the tower. “You made this whole trip solo!? Heck yea, that is straight awesome!” Their acclimation, understanding and enthusiasm made me feel like I could literally do anything.

The physical environment of the Great Canadian Bungee is beautiful and serene. Clean, natural and managed well. The visuals, photos will never do it justice, looks like you will have to make a trip and see for yourself! The practical safety elements are superb and explained with precision and detail.
