7 Handpicked Places For Bungee Jumping In New Zealand

It's a roller coaster ride, they said. Feel a myriad of emotions as you first look forward to your bungee jump, arrive at the location seeing other people fall and finally harness-up to make your way to the edge. It's going to be a mixture of anticipation, excitement, fear and thrill. To give us a little history, the first bungee jump was believed to have happened on 1 April 1979 from the 76 m (249-foot) Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol. A few years later in 1986, a New Zealander named AJ Hackett successfully made his first jump from Auckland's Greenhithe Bridge and continued with a number of other jumps from bridges and structures. The most notable jump happened In 1987, where he jumped from the Eiffel Tower illegally! But due to this, a bungee jumping revolution was launched. Later, the world's first permanent commercial bungee site, the Kawarau Bridge Bungy at the Kawarau Gorge Suspension Bridge near Queenstown in New Zealand, opened and we will look into the details later. Hackett remains one of the largest commercial operators with a presence in Australia, China, Russia, France and Singapore. We can't think of a better place than to bungee jump in the place where it kind of all started. It's even easy to find a place to stay here — from humble abodes to high-end hotels. If you want to give it a go, here is our guide to the best places for bungee jumping in New Zealand.
