Reply from Everything Travel Group

Thanks for taking the time to provide us with your feedback on our service. We generally do send booking confirmations through to both the customer and the operator to ensure everyone receives a copy. In the case of the Nevis Swing they receive all your booking details on their system online and do not request us to send a copy of the voucher to them. We may need to revisit this with them so thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Latest Questions about Nevis Swing (Queenstown)

If you are a spectator, where do you view the Nevis Swing from?

Comments

You will take the Nevis Swing cable car out to the platform with the person who is doing the swing. From here, you have the best seat in the house... aside from the seat on the swing!

Can you do the Nevis Swing in Queenstown in a tandem?

I am interested in doing the Nevis Swing in tandem with my girlfriend, and a solo bungee jump on the same day. Is this possible?

Comments

Yes this is certainly an option at the Nevis Playground in Queenstown! For the Nevis Swing, you would simply book for two people and inform the team that you would like to swing in tandem on the day (as long as you are under the combined weight limit of 220kg). You can also add on the solo Nevis Bungy jump in the same booking, to do on the same day. Your partner will even be able to come over to the pod to watch you make the jump!

Is there parking for motorhomes at the Nevis Swing? Where do we park?

Comments

The Nevis Swing is located on private property, so the tour includes a pick up from central Queenstown. There is limited parking available in Queenstown, especially for motorhomes, so if you are able to organise an alternative way to travel into Queenstown that day, that would be our first recommendation. Alternatively, you could try paid parking at the Man Street Carpark, which is quite close to your check in point for the Nevis Swing.

I will flying to Auckland after taking the swing. Is there any limitation/certain time I need to wait before flying?
What about after flying? Do I need to wait certain time before swinging after flying in from Auckland?

Comments

Heya, There is no correlation between diving and swinging, you can do both as much as you like whenever you like. You do not need to wait anytime before flying after swinging, only scuba diving because of the levels of nitrogen in your body.

For photography & video, how does the pricing work for tandem swing? Do both participants need to pay individually?

If you do the tandem Nevis Swing in Queenstown, then you only need to purchase one lot of photos and/or video as you'll both get captured. Cost is $45 for photos or video and $80 for both. You can actually check the images out on site after your swing before you purchase to see if you like them.

Is it possible to have three people swing at once?

Comments

Unfortunately it is not possible to do the Nevis swing in Queenstown as a 3 as there are only 2 harness points. If there are 3 of you then you could swing tandem and the other person could swing solo or one of you could swing twice so the 3rd person could also swing tandem.

Yes, all Nevis bungy jumps and swings in Queenstown are videoed and photographed and after your jump/swing, you can check them out on site and decide if you want to purchase them. Cost ranges from $40-$80 depending on what photo/video package you buy.

How much is it for a tandem bungy jump here? Also how much at kawarau?

Comments

Hi Joel, unfortunately you can't do a tandem bungy at the Nevis site. You can only jump tandem at the Kawarau Bungy and it is $195 per person. You can do the Nevis Swing as a tandem just not the bungy. The cost of the Nevis Swing as a tandem is $175 per person ($350 total).

Hi. My name is Sandra and I am from Germany. I want to make a special Christmas present for my boyfriend. Is it possible to expose a gift coupon for a nevis arc for the both of us?I want to do the nevis arc together with my boyfriend. It would be possible to transfer the money to a bank account of yours so you can send me the coupon.
We plan to visit new Zealand in 2015 or 2016, it would be great to get a coupon without an date of expiry.
looking forward for your answer!

Comments

Hi Sandra. Yes we can certainly organise an open dated gift voucher for you for the Nevis Swing in Queenstown. You can book this via our website and pay with your credit card. We will then email the gift voucher straight to you. The vouchers have 12 months validity but if you wish to extend this we can do this at no cost for as long as you like. To book, simply click on the link below and check the 'I want this to be an open dated gift voucher' button, then type in the required information, click the tick button and then select '2 x swing tandem (per person)' for $160 each. The total will be $320 for the both of you. You can then "add to basket' and proceed to Check Out where you can pay securely with your credit card. If you would prefer to pay by bank deposit then we can arrange for you to pay into our New Zealand bank account if you would prefer that but if you do have a credit card it is easier and quicker to pay securely online via our website.

I am doing sky diving a day before I plan to do swing...have fear of heights. ? But have done zipline as well.. would you rate it more difficult than skydive? Also is fhe videolike the one in promo.. or taken from platform

Comments

Hi Hassan.  I wouldn't rate the Nevis Swing more difficult or scary than a tandem skydive. The Nevis bungy is more scary as you have to jump off yourself where as when you are on the Nevis Swing you don't have to jump as you are released by the jump master. The video you get is a personalised video of your jump plus some promo material included.

Hi there,

Interested in doing the swing with my brother. He however also wants to do the bungy jump at 134m is there a way to combine the two even though I will not being the jump?

Comments

Hi Samantha. Yes you can. The Nevis Bungy and Swing are both at the same location in Queenstown so if your brother books the Swing & Bungy Combo and you book just the Nevis Swing at the same time then you can watch your brother do the bungy and you can swing together.
