Bungy jumping the Thrillogy in Queenstown
If you’re going to bungy jump, you may as well do it in style at the home of commercial bungy jumping and with some of the most sensational views you could imagine. Queenstown offers the first ever commercial bungy jump site at Kawarau Bridge with its 43m / 151ft fall towards the icy waters of the Kawarau River below; the bungy swing which may only be 47m / 154ft but swings far above Queenstown so it feels like you’re throwing yourself off 500m; and finally the big one – the Nevis at 134m / 440ft with 8 seconds of free fall and the former title holder of tallest bungy jump in the world. Package them all together and you have The Thrillogy – wonderfully terrifying . . . not for the faint hearted . . . and an unmissable experience
