Everything New Zealand

Visit the birthplace of bungy jumping and experience this heart-stopping sport where it all began. Even if you’ve jumped elsewhere, bungy jumping in Queenstown is a must-do for South Island visitors. With a rich adventure tourism history and multiple iconic sites, Queenstown bungy jumping attracts thrill seekers from around the world. Explore the best tour options below and book with Everything New Zealand. 
 
When it comes to bungy jumping, Queenstown is in a league of its own. This is where bungy was invented and refined, and today you can choose from three legendary jumps. Take on the highest bungy jump in the Southern Hemisphere, tick off the world’s first commercial bungy site, or go for a freestyle leap with panoramic mountain and lake views. Many genuine adventure fans try more than one, and it’s easy to see why. 
 
Leap from the World’s First Bungy Site: Kawarau Bridge 
 The historic Kawarau Bridge is the world’s first commercial bungy jumping site and a cornerstone of adventure sports history. On the Kawarau Bungy Jump, you’ll dive 43 metres above the sparkling Kawarau River for a controlled freefall you’ll never forget. Operated by AJ Hackett Queenstown, this jump is ideal for first timers and returning jumpers alike. 
 
Want to level it up? Choose a water touch and dip into the river at the bottom of your descent, up to waist depth. You can also jump solo or share the moment with a tandem bungy jump. Plus, you’ll receive a free t-shirt to commemorate your experience. 
 
If you want to add more action to your day, consider the Kawarau Bungy and Raft Combo. Start with your bungy jump, then hit the mighty Kawarau River for white-water rafting. You’ll tackle grade 2–3 rapids with all essential gear provided, including a wetsuit. After the rafting, enjoy a hot shower and sauna before heading back. These experiences operate daily year round and include return transfers from central Queenstown. 
 
Zip Through the Skies on the Nevis Catapult 
 Queenstown is also home to the Nevis Catapult, also known as “The Thriller.” This extreme launch sends you 150 metres across the Nevis Valley in just 1.5 seconds, reaching speeds of up to 100kph. It’s a fast, airborne rush with unforgettable views of the rugged South Island landscape below. 
 
This trip operates daily throughout the year and includes return transfers via four-wheel-drive bus from central Queenstown. If you want to bundle experiences, check out the Nevis Thrillogy combo, which combines the catapult with the Nevis Bungy and Nevis Swing for an all-in adventure day. 
 
Reach New Heights with The Ledge Bungy 
 For a unique twist on the classic jump, take on The Ledge Bungy from the top of the Skyline Gondola on Bob’s Peak. The gondola base is an easy walk from the Queenstown town centre, making this one of the most convenient Queenstown bungy jumping options. 
 
Enjoy a scenic gondola ride and soak up the views over Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding mountains before stepping onto the platform. The Ledge Bungy features a 47-metre drop and is famous for allowing freestyle moves, which makes it a favourite for adrenaline lovers who want something a bit different. This experience operates daily year round, and in winter you can often choose between a daytime or nighttime jump. You’ll also receive a free t-shirt from AJ Hackett Queenstown. 
 
Want to pair it with another jump-style thrill? The Ledge Swing is another standout. You’ll sit in your harness and pull the release cord when you’re ready, putting you in control of the moment. Afterward, you’ll receive a free cap as a keepsake. Friends and family can watch from nearby viewing decks, and professional photos and videos are available so you can relive your jump again and again.
