What Is the Los Cabos Glass Floor Gondola Bungee Jump?
This activity is a rare mix of adventure and visual spectacle. Imagine standing inside a custom-designed suspension gondola with glass floors—then, with a countdown, plunging into the depths of El Tule Canyon, a lush oasis surrounded by rugged desert terrain. The entire experience lasts about 3.5 hours, including transportation, safety instructions, and the jump itself, making it complete without overextending your day.
The real draw here is the combination of a high-altitude gondola ride and a bungee jump that delivers adrenaline rushes with canyon views that make your heart skip a beat. The gondola itself is specially designed to handle the extreme — featuring glass floors for an extra thrill and a chance for spectators below to see you “hang” above the canyon.

The Experience in Detail
The Journey to the Canyon
Your day begins with hotel pickup in an air-conditioned van, with pickups available in Cabo San Lucas, San Jose del Cabo, or along the Tourist Corridor.
