Queenstown built its reputation on doing more than one adrenaline thing in a day, bundling bungy jumping, jet boating, helicopter flights and rafting into a single booking. Rotorua pairs ziplines with grade five whitewater, Auckland pairs the Sky Tower with the Harbour Bridge, and Taupō stacks a cliff-top bungy with a swing.
Five-in-one and four-in-one combos in Queenstown
The High Five Activity Combo packs the Shotover Jet, a helicopter flight, the Skyline Gondola, five luge runs and Skyline Complex access into six to seven hours, from age 4. The Awesome Foursome Combo pairs the Nevis Bungy with the Shotover Jet, a helicopter flight and grade 3 to 5 Shotover River rafting, spread across two days from a minimum age of 13.
Nevis Playground bungy, swing and catapult combos
At the Nevis Playground, the Nevis Bungy & Swing Combo pairs the 134-metre Nevis Bungy, New Zealand's highest platform jump, with the 300-metre-arc Nevis Swing. The Nevis Thrillogy adds the Nevis Catapult, which reaches speeds of up to 110kph. Both run around four hours from Queenstown, from age 13, weight limits 45kg to 127kg.
Milford Sound, Dart River and Glenorchy combos
The Dart River Jet Boat & Milford Helicopter Combo flies two and a half hours over Milford Sound's fiords and glaciers, with a remote landing, then jet boats the braided Dart River for two hours. For young families, the Glenorchy Scenic Tour spends eight hours touring Middle-earth filming locations by four-wheel drive, with a Kiwi morning tea, before the same jet boat run. Both jet boat legs need riders at least 100cm tall.
Rotorua's zipline and rafting combo
The Ziplining & Grade 5 Rafting Combo sends riders across four ziplines above the Kaituna River, then over Tūtea Falls, the highest commercially rafted waterfall in the world, over roughly five hours. Riders aged 10 to 12 take a grade 3 half-trip; the full grade 5 run needs a minimum age of 13.
Auckland's Sky Tower combo
The Auckland SkyJump & SkyWalk Combo pairs a 192-metre wire-controlled jump off the Sky Tower with a harnessed, hands-free walk around its outer pergola, over about two hours. It takes a minimum age of 10, weight range 35kg to 122kg.
Taupō's cliff-top bungy and swing combo
The Taupo Bungy and Swing Combo pairs New Zealand's only cliff-top bungy, a 47-metre jump with a water-touch option, with a 43-metre swing reaching 70kph over the Waikato River. Allow four hours including transfers, from age 10, weight range 35kg to 150kg.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the age and weight limits across these adventure combos?
Limits vary by activity, so check the specific combo before booking. Queenstown's Nevis combos set a minimum age of 13 and 45kg to 127kg, Auckland's SkyJump and Taupo's bungy and swing both start at age 10, and Rotorua's Velocity Valley Activity Combos take children from age 5.
Is it safe to book bungy jumping and another activity on the same day?
Yes, pairing bungy jumping with a jet boat, swing or helicopter flight on the same day is standard at Queenstown, Auckland and Taupō's adventure hubs, since each activity runs its own briefing and safety check regardless of what else is booked. Most combos allow free cancellation up to 48 hours before departure.
Which combo skips the helicopter flight but still covers jet boating and rafting?
The RealNZ Jet Boat & Kawarau River Rafting combo covers both without a helicopter leg, running a 40-minute jet boat ride followed by two hours of grade 2 to 3 whitewater rafting, over four and a half hours from a minimum age of 13.
Is there an adventure combo without any adrenaline activities?
Yes, the Waiheke Island Ferry, Bus & Scenic Flight Package combines a return ferry, a bus loop and a thirty-minute scenic flight over the island's vineyards, with no bungy, jet boat or swing involved, making it the pick for a scenic day over an adrenaline one.
Local tip: book the earliest Queenstown departure available, the Nevis Playground and Shotover Canyon run quieter before the tour buses arrive. Every combo above can be booked directly through Everything New Zealand.
