What you can expect
These days, it seems everyone’s bungy jumping off bridges. But it all started with the 43 metres high Kawarau Bridge in Queenstown, the site of the world’s first commercial Bungy Jump.
World-renowned AJ Hackett Bungy New Zealand’s original Bungy Jump will have you peering down at the majestic Kawarau River in Queenstown before leaping bravely towards the spectacular scenery below. If the thought of leaping off a bridge doesn’t send your pulse racing, you might want to opt for a dunk in the water, which enables you to be submerged momentarily up to your waist! Now, that’s sure to send your adrenalin levels through the roof!
Jumpers also get to enjoy the use of AJ Hackett Bungy New Zealand’s newly refurbished Bungy Centre, watch the Bungy Movie on a 16 inch screen and view stunning scenery and other jumpers taking their turns from the viewing deck with an ice cold beer or piping hot coffee.
