New Zealand's highest bungee jump — 134 meters above the Nevis Valley, suspended from a cable car between the canyon walls. The original and still the best.
Why It’s Worth Your Time
The Nevis Bungee is the flagship experience from AJ Hackett, the company that commercialised bungee jumping in Queenstown and made it a global phenomenon. At 134 meters, the free fall takes 8.5 seconds. The gondola ride to the platform above the Nevis River canyon is itself spectacular. Minimum weight 45kg. Transfers from Queenstown included. For a shorter jump, the original Kawarau Bridge (43m) is where bungee was born.
What Stands Out
- 134m free fall
