The unique combination of smooth rapids and 360-degree spins make this activity fun for all ages. Along with enjoying some breathtaking views of the riverbanks lined with native trees, you will also get to see historical sites such as gold mining relics from days past.
 

Bungy Jumping off Kawarau Bridge

The bungy jumping craze started right here in Queenstown at Kawarau Bridge back in 1988 – making it one of the most popular attractions in town today! You can choose from different types of jumps like tandem jumps or even night jumping!
