Description
Think you’re a daredevil? We challenge you to try the highest bungy in New Zealand. At 134 metres above the raging waters of the Nevis River in Queenstown, this jump is not for the faint of heart. Make a 35 minute journey that includes a ride in a 4 wheel drive and requires crossing a sheep station in the high country to get to the bungy site. Harness on and heart pounding, enjoy breathtaking views from a cable car as you are transported to the jump pod.
If your adrenalin levels aren’t rising just by reading this, maybe knowing that you’ll be plummeting 134 metres in 8.4 seconds will raise your heart rate a little. Using a radar gun, jumpers have been recorded plummeting earthwards at speeds of more than 128 kilometres per hour. Driving at such speeds in New Zealand could get you slapped with fines of more than $300!
The AJ Hackett Nevis bungy jump is for serious adrenalin junkies only. Everyone else chickens out!
