Danielle and I decided to ride the 'well marked' pathways to the most famous and oldest bundgy jump in the world...The Kawarau Bridge Bungy It's the World Home of Bungy Jumping. It was from this site in 1988 that Bungy pioneers AJ Hackett and Henry van Asch launched both themselves and an international phenomenon, which has become renowned as one of the most exhilarating things to do in Queenstown. This has been the world’s best known and best loved Bungy Jump for more than 20 years and it continues to set pulses racing amongst the extreme enthusiasts who visit from all corners of the globe, whether young in age or young at heart. She wanted to jump - me, after Vic Falls, not so much!
