what is the best place for bungee jumping in NZ? | ||
Queenstown. No doubt about it. | 1 | |
Considering how difficult it is to actually walk on the Auckland Harbour Bridge, buckleys for bungee jumping off it. | 2 | |
Definately Queenstown - either the gorge or nevis. | 3 | |
the first commercial bungy jump was established on the Kawarau bridge just outside Queenstown and this is the best place! Except that, Queenstown is a great place. the scenery surrounding Queenstown makes for excellent touring, with lakes, mountains and bush around vineyards and farmland. You can read more at: | 4 | |
Westwood - why so hard to walk on the bridge? I take it you mean it's windy? | 5 | |
There are only the occasional times when its open to foot traffic. Thats why!!! | 6 | |
ah OK - cheers | 7 | |
This is the info on the Auckland harbour bridge bungy. Have absolutely no idea if it is any good, or even if it is a proper bungy and not one of those controlled jump things the Skytower does. But anyway... | 8 | |
I would not discount the Gravity Canyon bungy just south of Taihape, particularly if you're in the North Island and wanting a fix. I can't insert a link for some reason, but google on bungy and Taihape and it comes at the top of the list. They also have a Flying Fox. These are not my sort of activity at all, but my nephews have recently been here and were most impressed. | 9 | |
