Bungy | Queenstown
adais2106
Queenstown, so named in honour of Queen Victoria, is well-established as the "jewel in NZ's tourism crown", with more adventure options per square metre than any other similarly-sized town in the world!
And it was Bungy that got the whole thing started back in 1988 and setting Queenstown up as the adventure-tourism capital of the world.
AJ Hackett Bungy offers five very different Bungy experiences in Queenstown, ranging from the ultimate personal challenge to a more low-key discovery of Bungy from the sidelines.

The Kawarau Bridge Bungy
Home to the original 43-metre Bungy Jump. If you've heard of Bungy, you've heard of Kawarau. The world's first and most infamous of leaps is still going strong, with tens of thousands Bungying each year. At the world's best-loved Bungy site, you can choose from a number of options; topple over backwards, forwards, with another person, spin or somersault. Kawarau Bridge Bungy is also the only Bungy in Queenstown where you can choose to bob above the water, touch it, or be fully immersed.

The Nevis Highwire Bungy
Want an outdoor adventure, beautiful scenery and extreme highs? Then the Nevis Highwire Bungy, 134m above the rugged Nevis River, combines all these elements into a mind blowing series of unforgettable events. With 8.5 seconds of falling its a breathtaking ground rush like no other. Come stand on the edge and face your fear in what is for many one of the greatest personal challenges of their life. Make no mistake, the Nevis Highwire Bungy is not for the nervous.
Even just getting here is fun. Your Nevis Highwire Bungy expereince kicks off with a rugged 35 minute back-blocks 4x4 drive before your harnessed up, aboard a shuttle and crossing the canyon to the Bungy Pod. After arriving at the Bungy Pod you'll have time to come to grips with what you're about to do. Or not. Either way the emotional rollercoaster is part of what makes Bungy a truly unique personal challenge. Our awesome Jump Crew are more than happy to reassure you about our 100% safety record and answer any questions but what they're really here to help you do is take that leap off the edge. You choose to come, to face your fear and challenge yourself because you know you can do this. The choice is yours. Try it! believe it! and bask in the glory of your achievement. You know you want to.

The Ledge Bungy
As the only urban Bungy in Queenstown, it was clearly our duty to make it as crazy as possible. The Ledge Bungy is like no other, in that it comes equipped with a 'runway' to launch you out 400 metres over Queenstown. What makes this special is the Bungy harness which allows you to vary your Bungy Jump style; try a flip, twist, or numerous other options all designed to provide a different Bungy experience. Not convinced? Try doing this all at night with the lights of Queenstown far below. Either way this Bungy is spectacular especially since you've reached it via the famous Skyline Gondola. This Bungy allows you to enjoy the best views in Queenstown as they slide past at a million miles an hour.

The Ledge Sky Swing
And now for something completely different... Remember the swing you had in your back yard? Well, The Ledge Sky Swing takes that to a whole new level. In fact a level 400 metres over Queenstown. Once harnessed your lowered to the release 'station'. Let the thrill take over! As you swing away the biggest surprise is not knowing when you'll change from fall to swing. Just as your brain convinces you the fall will never stop, you begin arching out 400 metres over Queenstown. The nightlife in Queenstown is famous for being fast and furious, so we decided to do the same with the Sky Swing. The Ledge Sky Swing is the only swing operating at night. It might pay to leave dinner to afterwards if you know what we mean.
