An amazing experience all around. This was our #1 or #2 highlight for our entire New Zealand trip!

What you can expect

The Nevis Swing measures a whopping 300 metres and is Queenstown’s latest innovation aimed at bringing daredevils a whole new level of excitement, courtesy of expert Bungy purveyors AJ Hackett Bungy New Zealand.

Cross a massive 70 metre suspension bridge, weak-kneed, towards the Launch Pad which hangs high above the floor of the valley. You get to choose whether you’d like to swing backwards, forwards, on your own or together with a friend. You also decide whether you’d prefer to have the crew release you or do the honours yourself. You’ll find yourself hanging above the valley floor at a terrifying height, securely harnessed to the swing, before being dropped at an unbelievable speed. You’ll be hard pressed to suppress a scream as you barrel towards a rocky cliff face.

The Nevis Swing is the fastest and biggest swing the world has ever seen. Only true daredevils need apply.
