Bungee Jumping (AJ Hackett – Kawarau Bridge)

Suspended 43 meters above the turquoise waters of the Kawarau River, this iconic bungee jump is where commercial bungee jumping was pioneered by AJ Hackett in 1988, offering an adrenaline-charged plunge into one of New Zealand's most spectacularly scenic gorges. The jump combines heart-stopping freefall with breathtaking views of the surrounding canyon walls and river below, making it as visually memorable as it is thrilling. Professional operators guide you through every step, from the quirky pre-jump rituals to the moment you push off the bridge's edge.
