Think bungy jumping is just another trend? Think again. It all started right here, 43 metres above the Kawarau River in Queenstown, home to the world’s very first commercial Bungy Jump.

This iconic experience puts you face-to-face with the raw beauty of the Kawarau Gorge before you commit to the ultimate drop. Step up to the edge, fix your gaze on the river below, and launch into a moment that helped define adventure as we know it. Want to dial it up? Opt for a water touch and feel the surge as you’re dipped up to your waist before springing back skyward. It is guaranteed to send your adrenaline soaring.

The experience does not stop once you have jumped. Enjoy access to the recently upgraded Bungy Centre, watch the action unfold on the Bungy Movie via a 16-inch screen, and take in the stunning scenery from the viewing deck. Cheer on fellow thrill-seekers while you relax with an ice-cold beer or a freshly brewed hot coffee.
