Bungy - 43m Velocity Valley

Description

Looking down from a height of 43 metres, you realise that the time has come to jump. In order to build up courage, you look around and take a deep breath. With pupils enlarged by adrenaline, you notice that the gorgeous views of the farmland, Lake Rotorua and Mokoia Island seem like an illuminated work of art. You are ready by the time you hear the experienced, reassuring jumpmaster yell ‘three, two, one… BUNGY!’

You jump – or rather, you FLY – out over the amazing, glittering Ngongotaha Stream. In the few moments before you hit the water, your brain does some amazing calculations – you remember that this is all safe, that thousands have taken this same leap before you. You recall that Velocity Valley bungy cords are strong enough to hold two tonne and the ankle strap that now acts as your harness of life is also strong and secure. You also have a redundant waist harness, so nothing can possibly go wrong. You know all this, but then, you calculate that you are just about to hit the water at incredible, freefalling speed! AAARRGGGHHHH…

At the last moment, the strong, supple bungy cord pulls you back up, surprisingly gently – Phew – you have done it! You have looked fear straight in the eye and told it who’s boss and you will never be the same; the thrill of this moment will stay with you forever.

Velocity Valley – which holds host to Rotorua Bungy – is located only 10km from Rotorua city and is easily reached by car or bus. Rotorua bungy offers solo and tandem jump from 43 metres high, so you can brave it alone or terrify a friend at the same time. A congratulatory certificate is awarded to every jumper upon completion of their jump – this means you can be rewarded for your incredible achievement, as well as rub it in the face of all your jealous friends (just kidding)!

Please note that the legal age for bungy jumping in New Zealand is 10 years old; however, if you are aged between 10 and 16 years old, you will need parental or guardian consent. You will also need to weigh a minimum of 35 kgs to jump.
