Bungee jump off the Macau Tower 233m /764ft what is roughly the size of two football fields (European) – the longest bungee jump in the world!…and the most expensive one.
Macau is similar to Hong Kong in terms of system policy – operates under the “One Country, Two Systems” principle. And only 66 km (81.6 km by car) distance from Hong Kong. Macau is a special administrative region (SAR) of greater China, so that means Macau has limited autonomy in most of its governing and economic activities

Skydiving – Fijian Islands with its picturesque flora & fauna is also a destination for extreme sports. Once upon a time somebody figured out that view of the coral reef in such azure blue ocean from the bird’s perspective is an experience like no other!

Skydiving in one of the best places on Earth to skydive – Hawaii’s Waialua (Oahu).
How could you miss that scenic drive up to the North Shore, before getting in the plane that will take you to the highest possible altitude in 15 minutes.
Spectacular view is if to say nothing. Its beyond that. Coloured coastlines, vast palm tree-lined valleys, secret swimming holes and unforgettable volcano sites (Hawaii’s Mauna Loa is the largest active volcano on Earth 4km/2,5mi). Weather you jump from 12,000 ft/ 3657 m or 14,000 ft/ 4267 m you will never forget that scenery moment.
The immaculate North Shore coast, amazing Pacific ocean, pineapple fields, and Waianae Mountain Range – the view you will get while free-falling for about 45 – 60 minutes before your instructor will open the parachutes.
By the way surprisingly Hawaii is one of the cheapest places to skydive.
(San Francisco $195 Canada $270 Switzerland $374)
