1. Bungy Jump

It is the original (and the best) AJ Hackett Bungy in Queenstown at Kawarau Bridge. Leap from the platform as you freefall for 43m over the sparkling turquoise Kawarau River. You can take it up a notch (or 7) at the Nevis Bungy – the highest in New Zealand at 134m! That’s 8.5 seconds of freefall to contemplate life, the universe……

2. Canyon Swing

If someone told you to go jump off a cliff…would you do it? Set amongst the dramatic scenery of the Shotover Canyon just 15 minutes from Queenstown, it’s not just the landscape that takes your breath away. The original ropeswing opened in 2002 and redefined the thrill of freefall. In 2016 the operators added ‘The Fox’ – An extreme zipline which is the only one in the world with freefall and New Zealand’s highest. Book one or both activities for a serious afternoon of fun!

3. Jet Boating

An activity synonymous with Queenstown, where you will find several different operators to choose from which all take a different approach to the experience. Perhaps a quicky from the Town Wharf with Kjet, or a more immersive experience at the impressive Shotover River with Shotover Jet. Or perhaps get off the beaten track and see a bit of nature and history with Dart River Safaris. The choice is yours!
