Queenstown is considered the world centre for bungee jumping and the Kawarau Bridge Suspension Bridge is the world’s first commercial bungee jump site, which started operating in 1988.

The Kawarau Bridge bungee jump site lets you jump 43m to the Kawarau River, which is equivalent to the height of an 11-storey building.

AJ Hackett, who developed the bungee jump site at Kawarau Bridge now operate three bungee sites around Queenstown, but the original is the only Queenstown bungee site that allows a water touch.

    The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the Zipride was an incredibly enjoyable experience! They also have a viewing platform, which you can view the bungy or the ziprides from.

    Even if your idea of fun isn’t flinging yourself off the historic Kawarau Bridge with an elastic band around your ankle, it’s free and fun to watch those crazy enough to do so.

    They are charging over 200 NZ $ for a jump and you have to pay extra for pictures and video. Really?!

    If you jump first thing in the morning you might not get to touch the water because the bungys stretch less after a cool night

    Hang out on the bridge and watch people jump down. At least viewing is for free

    Cool to watch and if you've got the guts to jump of the bridge then you can! They have a flying fox now too which is really cool! Great gift shop and cafe! Essential to check it out!
