New Zealand · BUNGY JUMPING
Some days out are worth rearranging a week for. These 9 bungy jumping tours are those, each with its cost, its length and the detail that settles it.
At AJ Hackett’s Kawarau Bungy Centre, you’ll leap 43 metres from the world’s first commercial bungy site above the Kawarau River. Choose a solo or tandem jump, decide if you want to touch the water, and receive photos and video. Free transport runs from central Queenstown, though self-driving makes the visit shorter.
“An awesome time!! Highly recommend overcoming your fears and doing it!”
You’ll ride AJ Hackett’s rugged shuttle into the Nevis Valley, hear a safety briefing, then choose a solo or tandem style before dropping 70 metres and swinging across a 300-metre arc. The four-hour trip includes transport from central Queenstown, guides, and a photo and video package.
“Absolutely incredible can’t wait to do it again”
At Hanmer Springs’ historic Ferry Bridge, you’ll be harnessed in for a 35-metre bungy jump above the Waiau River. The roughly 30-minute experience suits ages 10 and up, with a 35 kg minimum weight. Your price includes a t-shirt and certificate, while photos and video cost extra.
“Both my daughter and her best friend enjoyed the jump only downside was the go pro didn't record so they we abit gutted they couldn't buy that however we received the photos for a cheaper price lady who checked us in was amazing and very friendly girls want to go again and hopefully get the go pro footage next time”
You’ll travel by 4WD into the remote Nevis Valley, then ride a see-through cable car to a pod suspended 134 metres above the Nevis River. An English-speaking team handles the safety briefing and jump, while your package includes photos and video. The trip takes about four hours and suits participants aged 13 and over who weigh 45 to 127 kilograms.
You’ll jump 35 meters from the 135-year-old Waiau Ferry Bridge with an English-speaking instructor and a small group of up to five. After the fall, a jet boat collects you from below and returns you to shore. Allow 45 minutes, with morning and afternoon sessions available.
“I loved it! It was scary at first, but the instructor was amazing, you felt totally safe. Great job!”
Jump 47 meters above the Waikato River with AJ Hackett Taupō. Choose solo or tandem, then pick a high-and-dry jump, water touch, or full body dip. Your English-speaking crew handles the setup, while photos and video are included. Free Taupō pickup, onsite parking, and a one-hour visit make this easy to fit into your day.
“I did my first bungy jump and absolutely loved. Did it 2 more times the next day! The whole team is really lovely and patient which was great considering my fear of heights. Thanks for making my first bungy such a great experience! Now I am totally hooked on the hobby :)”
You’ll ride an AJ Hackett 4WD shuttle from central Queenstown into the Nevis Valley, then take on Australasia’s highest bungy at 134m and a 300m canyon swing with a 70m drop. The four-hour combo includes solo or tandem swing options, a small group, and photos and video.
From central Queenstown, AJ Hackett takes you by 4WD shuttle into the Nevis Valley for three very different rides. You’ll face a 134m bungy, a 70m swing with a 300m arc, and a 150m catapult reaching 100kph. The small group is limited to six, and photos and video are included.
At AJ Hackett Taupō, you can pair New Zealand’s highest water-touch bungy with a 44-meter cliff swing above the Waikato River. Choose solo or tandem for each activity, decide how close you get to the water, and leave with photos and video included. Free Taupō transport and onsite parking make the day easy to arrange.
Pick a coast, a crater or a cellar door.
