The Itinerary: From Queenstown to the Nevis Valley
The adventure begins at the Queenstown Bungy Centre, conveniently located in The Station building at the corner of Shotover and Camp Streets. Meeting here ensures easy access and quick check-in, with check-in recommended 30 minutes prior to departure. That head start is worth it, because once aboard the 4WD shuttle, you’re in for a scenic, rugged ride into one of the most remote and breathtaking valleys in New Zealand. The Nevis Valley remains largely untouched, giving you a sense of stepping into a wild, natural landscape.
The first stop: the Nevis Bungy. Here, you’ll be harnessed up and transported via a cable car to the bungy pod, perched high above the canyon floor. With a 134-meter fall—equivalent to roughly 44 floors—you get about 8.5 seconds of freefall. That stretch of time feels both eternally long and over in a flash. As you leap, you’ll see panoramic views of snow-capped mountains and rugged wilderness, making the freefall more than just a jump; it’s a chance to truly feel alive.
Once you’ve landed and recovered from the adrenaline surge, you’ll move on to the Nevis Swing. This is where the fun really kicks in. Harnessed in, you’ll step off a 70-meter platform into a 300-meter arc across the canyon. You can choose to swing solo or tandem with a friend or partner. The experience is often described as a perfect blend of scream and laugh—think of it as a wild ride that leaves your stomach in your throat but your spirit soaring.
