Icarus Bungee coordinates bungee jumping within a five hour drive of the San Francisco bay area.   A bungee jumping expedition includes instruction, equipment and supervision of the jumps from different bridge sites located in Northern California.

Jumping Days:  Icarus Bungee will book individuals and groups for jumping on scheduled expeditions. There will be one scheduled expedition per season. (Winter, Spring, Summer & Fall) jumps will be executed in the early morning or evening. To reserve a place on an expedition call  (510) 521-JUMP.

Special Trips: Special trips are expeditions to bridges that may be out of state and are unusually high. (300'+)
Special Trips are not recommended for the novice jumper and are more costly.

Jump Sites:  There are 15 different bridges in Northern California that Icarus Bungee jumps from.  The heights vary from a minimum of 120' (36 m) to 220' (70 m).  Due to wet or dry years some bridges are not available every year. Because of legalities involved in jumping from bridges, locations will be given only to the group organizer.  Directions will be sent to the organizer two days before the scheduled jump.  Please be discrete about giving the location to anyone.

Cost:  The cost is $125.00 for two jumps per person, unless a discount applies. Jumps may not be split between customers.
"Special Trips" will cost more due to increased travel distance and higher equipment costs for taller bridges. The cost will vary for each special trip.

Age:  If you are under 18 years old your Parent or Legal Guardian must sign a parental consent form to jump with Icarus Bungee.  All jumpers will be required to sign a release form before jumping can begin. 

Weight:  If a jumper's weight is in doubt, he/she will be weighed on our scales.  Weight is a safety matter that Icarus Bungee takes very seriously.  A jumper's weight determines the number of cords to be used.  We have a limit of 250 lbs. 

Group Size: (1-15) We prefer to jump about ten people in a three hour time block.

Group Organizer: All groups should have one individual who is designated as the Group Organizer, It is then the responsibility of the organizer to pass along information to other members of the group. The group organizer will also be responsible for collecting money from all the members of the group and sending the check(s) to Icarus Bungee.

Reservations: All trips require advance reservations. All reservations require a non-refundable deposit of $25.00 per person. Or full payment when within two weeks of the jump date. When planning a bungee jumping trip, it is important that we receive your deposit check within five days of the day on which you called to schedule your trip. We recommend that you send a check only after collecting $25.00 from each member of your group, deposits are non-refundable.

Discounts: The group organizer bungee jumps free when the group consists of five or more people in addition to yourself.  Individual members or veterans of the Military, Police, Firemen and Paramedics (active duty, reserve or retired) may receive an additional ten dollar discount. Military Members being or been deployed to Afghanistan or Iraq may jump for free on a space available basis. (Call and find out schedule.) Must bring copy of orders for free jump.

Payments:  Please make checks payable to Icarus Bungee.  Final payment is due two weeks before actual bungee jump. Checks can be received over the Phone @ (510)521-5867 or Fax (Call first) or checks can be mailed to P.O. Box 801, Alameda, California 94501. We can also accept payment by credit card through PayPal.

Cancellations and Refunds:  Advance payments are refundable up to two weeks prior to the jump.  This excludes deposits.  Deposits and payments are not refundable for cancellations or no-shows.
