Bungy Jumping in Queenstown





July 20

Queenstown is known as the adrenaline capital of the world. Since it is winter in New Zealand, skiing and snowboarding is a popular activity in the mountains. I started off the day with Bungy jumping at the first and original bungy jumping location at Kawarau Bridge. You can see more at www. bungy.com.nz. It was an incredible, once in a lifetime experience in an incredible setting. 43 meters above the Kawarau river, it is the most popular Bungy in New Zealand and the first commercial Bungy site by AJ Hackett. You jump off the bridge and are picked up by the boat below and taken to shore - I think the hardest part was climbing up the gorge!
