Kawarau Bridge Bungy

You’ll check in at the Kawarau Bungy Centre on SH6 in the Gibbston Valley, about 25 minutes from Queenstown. The jump is 43 m/141 ft with options for tandem and a crowd‑pleasing water touch (request it, but it depends on river levels). Photo and video packages are available for instant delivery, and jumpers score an activity tee.

Minimum age is 10. Standard solo weight range is 35–160 kg; tandems are allowed up to a 235 kg combined limit with ≤30 kg difference between partners. When the river runs high, solo max can drop to 130 kg. You can’t jump if pregnant or with photosensitive epilepsy; some conditions (e.g., osteoporosis, scoliosis, recent concussion) may require a doctor’s certificate. Tell the crew about any medical issues—they’re experienced, calm, and very good at talking nervous first‑timers through it. Regular glasses may not be allowed; prescription safety glasses are available.

As of recent listings: adults from NZD $320; students from NZD $280 (bring ID); children 10 and under are NZD $280. You can bundle with other AJ Hackett experiences (like the Nevis Bungy or Swing) if you’re building an adrenaline day.

Dress for the weather—winters get cold, so layer up. Secure or remove loose items, tie back long hair, and bring a payment method if you want photo/video. If you booked student pricing, bring your student ID.

The centre operates daily roughly 9:30 am–4:00 pm (closed Christmas Day), with exact times varying by season. For smoother check‑in, aim for the first hour after opening or the last hour of the day; that’s when crowds thin and the viewing deck is more relaxed. If you’re chasing a water touch, request it at check‑in and be flexible—river levels call the shots.
