For almost any type of vacation, New Zealand manages to offer something to suit your needs. If you’re not satisfied with a few days at the beach and a regular vacation, maybe you’d like to try something a little more exciting…

Home to the adventure capital of the world, Queenstown, and with plenty of beautiful scenery to launch across the country, New Zealand is known as one of the best places to go bungee jumping. Instead of taking an average tour of the two islands, why not book your stay in Aotearoa traveling from hop to hop? Take a look at these places and immerse yourself in an exciting adventure.

A. J. Hackett

The pioneer behind the extreme sport, AJ Hackett is the man behind the company that made bungee jumping what it is today. Creating the first commercial jump in 1988 on the Kawarau Bridge in Queenstown, the AJ Hackett Company operates three different jumps in Adventure Capital, including the Kawarau Bridge Bungy, as well as one on the Auckland Harbor Bridge.

The Nevis Bungy on the River Nevis in Queenstown is the highest in New Zealand at 134m. Bungy jumpers from the Kawarau Bridge can plunge right into the water below. The Ledge Bungy offers a spectacular view of Queenstown from 400m up. AJ Hackett offers jumpers exclusive access to Auckland. Harbor Bridge and a 40m drop to the ocean below

Auckland Sky Tower Sky Jump

A thrilling twist on the traditional bungy, a SkyJump attaches you to a cable at the top of Auckland’s iconic Sky Tower allowing you to drop 192m above the city. You won’t find a better view of the city from anywhere else, and as the number one stopping point for many of the country’s visitors, there’s no better place to make your first jump than the ‘City of Sails’.

Taupo Bungy

Taupo Bungy’s touch water bungy on the Waikato River is one of the most popular in the North Island. You can choose to bungy solo or tandem with a friend and even decide if you want to just touch the surface or fully immerse yourself in the river 47 meters below.
