Is the Nevis Swing the biggest swing in the world? Yes – the Nevis Swing is one of the biggest swings in the world! Located high above the Nevis Valley in Queenstown, it launches you in a 300-metre arc, making it an unforgettable adrenaline experience.

Bucket list activity ticked off!!

This was such an incredible experience, I've had it on my bucket list since the early 2000s when I saw it on a reality show. Did not disappoint! thank you to the worker who lent me their jacket, I'm not sure if I was shaking mainly from fear or because I was actually cold!
