Queenstown Attractions - AJ Hackett Bungy, Queenstown
'Bungy', a word that quickens the pulse and stirs the imagination, refers to the challenge and excitement of throwing yourself off a bridge or platform high above the ground attached by
a rubber band.
For jumpers, the challenge is to overcome their fears and be able to say, "Yeah, I did it!" Bungy jumping gives a person the opportunity to overcome their inner fears and gives them a massive dose of adrenaline.
During the 1980's, A.J. Hackett developed a safe, standard method of jumping so people could have lots of fun, but feel totally safe. After a number of test jumps (including the Eiffel Tower), A.J. introduced bungy jumping in New Zealand and now the company operates throughout the world.
In Queenstown, you can choose from:
