Bungee Jumping - Queenstown, New Zealand

New Zealand was brought to the forefront of adventure sport when in 1988 AJ Hackett opened the first commercial bungee jump from the Kawarau Bridge, 43 metres (141 feet), over the Kawarau River. This site is still very much alive and kicking today so where better to throw yourself off a bridge attached to some rope than the original site over the beautiful Kawarau river in Queenstown. By no means the highest bungee jump this is the arguably the most famous with tens of thousands of bungee jumpers descending to one of the worlds best loved bungee sites each year. Nestled into a rock face overlooking the stunning Kawarau River, this site along with its place in history boasts ‘must see’ picturesque views so make sure you keep your eyes open on the way down.
