Why bungy in New Zealand?

You too can look this petrified...Who knew that jumping into the unknown with a cord around your feet or waist could be quite so fun? Thanks to the inventor of the bungy jump, AJ Hackett and his amazing bungy options in New Zealand, now more and more people are taking the plunge...

Fancy taking on the Kiwi's only harbour bungy in Auckland? How about leaping off the Kawarau Bridge and allowing the bungy cord to completely submerge you in the water below? Then there's the Ledge Urban with it's bungy harness allowing you to throw a few shapes as you plummet 47 metres. Finally for the super-brave, Australasia's largest bungy, the Nevis Highwire in Queenstown. At 134 metres, you'll experience nine seconds of freefall and get to meet Mr Sheer Terror face-to-face...
