If you had to describe Queenstown in one word… ADRENALINE!
Home to the world’s first Bungee site, crazy Jetboat experiences along a winding river, jaw-droppingly high Bungee Jumps, Giant Swings, and a huge Catapult launching you out over a valley! Those are just a few of the incredible adventures waiting for you here!
The town itself is a beautiful lakeside town, with many awesome hiking possibilities, pleasant locals, and dining spots!
Queenstown is the perfect Trip for absolute Adventure seekers and Nature Lovers (at any age since over 75 y/o’s Bungee for free!). We recommend 5-7 days in Summer (December to February) to fully experience the region.
Queenstown is home not only to the world’s first commercial bungee site, but another 2 epic Bungee jumps, all operated by industry leading AJ Hacket bungee, the global birthplace of Adventure Tourism.
Jump “the original”, the 43m Kawarau bridge jump into the river below,
The Ledge bungee (with epic views over Queenstown and Lake Wakatipu),
or discover new boundaries for yourself with the Huge 134m Bungee at their Nevis site!
These jumps are absolutely unforgettable experiences that will live with you for a lifetime, as you remember soaring through the air screaming your lungs out… with fear or joy… and the accomplishment you feel after for proving yourself capable to #livemorefearless, as AJ Hacket would say!
Experience the exhilarating Shotover River Jet Boat Tour, as you speed through narrow canyons, perform thrilling 360° spins, and marvel at the stunning landscapes surrounding Queenstown’s most famous river.

Even in summer, the wind and weather can be unpredictable, especially as you will be spending a lot of time outside (or bungee-jumping off bridges…) so bring some layers!
