Bungy Jump Prices In Queenstown: What Each Jump Costs

How Much Does A Bungy Jump Cost In Queenstown?

A single bungy jump in Queenstown costs from NZD 320 at the 43 m Kawarau Bridge or from NZD 395 at the 134 m Nevis, and those are the operator's "from" prices, which shift by date and time. Swings and the catapult slot in between, from NZD 240 to NZD 325. Combos, which bundle two or three activities, run from NZD 355 to NZD 805 for the full Nevis Thrillogy.

One company, AJ Hackett Bungy NZ, sets every price on this page. It is the only bungy operator found in Queenstown, running three sites: the original Kawarau Bungy Centre in Gibbston Valley, the Nevis Playground, and The Ledge at the Skyline Gondola, which is reopening for summer 26/27, per the operator. There is no second price list to shop against, so the comparison that matters is between the operator's own products.

Every figure below comes from the operator's own activity pages and the operator's combos page. Two rules to hold onto while reading. First, all prices are NZD "from" prices and change by date and time; nothing here is fixed. Second, booking direct includes photos, video and an activity t-shirt, per the operator, which quietly changes what a price comparison between sellers is really comparing.

A word on how to read the numbers before spending an afternoon on them. The operator's booking widget prices by date and time, which is why this page prints a floor rather than a quote. A Saturday in late December will not look like a Tuesday in June. Anyone budgeting a trip should take the from-price as the minimum and check the live figure on the booking page for the actual day before committing to a number.

If you are weighing this against jumps elsewhere in the country, the wider picture is in the cost of bungy jumping across New Zealand; this page stays on Queenstown. For the deeper question of whether the spend pays off at all, whether Queenstown bungy is worth it looks at the value side of the ledger.

Single Activity Prices At A Glance

The bookable products on this site are the two bungies and four combos; swings, the catapult and the Zipride are sold as secondary offers and appear here for the price ladder. Child pricing matters: Kawarau products have a lower child price, while the Nevis Bungy and Nevis Catapult have no lower child price, per the operator's pages.

The 43 m Kawarau Bridge Bungy, World's First, is the entry point for most budgets, rated 4.9 on its booking page. The 134 m Bungy, New Zealand's Biggest, which the operator calls "the highest in New Zealand", is rated 5.0 across 122 reviews. Those ratings attach to those products alone and are not compared here.

Between those two anchor products the choice is really about height, age and time. The Kawarau trip takes 1.5 hours self-drive or 2.5 hours by bus; the Nevis takes about 3.5 to 4 hours including the 4WD bus ride each way, with no self-drive option because it sits on private land. Age minimums differ too: 10 at Kawarau, 13 at Nevis. The full limits are covered in the age guide and the weight limit guide.

The price gap between NZD 320 and NZD 395 buys a jump three times the height. Whether that gap is worth it is a separate question with its own page; here the point is simply that both numbers are the operator's from-prices and both can move. Time cost belongs in the comparison as much as money: a Nevis morning or afternoon is a half-day commitment door to door, while a self-drive Kawarau jump can fit inside ninety minutes if check-in and the drive both go smoothly.

It also helps to know what the peripheral prices look like before arriving, because a day at either site tends to pick up small extras. A spectator at Nevis pays NZD 50. The Kawarau Zipride at NZD 50 is the cheapest way for a nervous companion to taste the site without jumping. None of these are hidden fees, but a budget built only on the jump price will miss them.

Combo Prices And The Operator's Stated Savings

Combos start at NZD 355 for Kawarau Bungy plus Zipride and top out at NZD 805 for the Nevis Thrillogy of bungy, swing and catapult, which the operator says saves NZD 210. Mid-range pairings cluster between NZD 460 and NZD 620. The operator states savings only on some combos, and those figures are printed beside them below.

Combos are the operator's own bundles and follow its booking rules. The four bookable combo products here are the Nevis Combo, Bungy & Swing; the Thrillogy: Bungy, Swing, Catapult; the Nevis Combo, Bungy & Catapult; and the Kawarau Combo, Bungy & Swing. The wider bundle list, including cross-site pairings sold only on the operator's combos page, is laid out in full so the ladder is visible.

Read the savings claims carefully. Where the operator states a saving, it is relative to buying the parts separately at its own from-prices, and from-prices move by date, so the actual gap on any given day can differ. Where no saving is stated, none is claimed here.

The cross-site bundles deserve a second look from anyone staying several days. A Nevis Bungy plus Kawarau Bungy pairing at from NZD 615 buys both of the operator's Queenstown bungies, 134 m and 43 m, in one purchase, and both sites can be visited across separate days rather than crammed into one. The operator sells that bundle on its own combos page rather than as a card product here, so it is booked through the operator directly.

For choosing between bundles rather than just pricing them, the Queenstown bungy combo deals guide walks the trade-offs. The short version for a price shopper: the Kawarau Combo, Bungy & Swing at NZD 460 is the cheapest bundle with two full adrenaline activities, and the Thrillogy at NZD 805 is the ceiling for someone who wants all three Nevis experiences in one day.

The Nevis Combo, Bungy & Swing carries a 5.0 rating with no review count stated, so treat that as a rating without a pool rather than a proven one. The Thrillogy, the Bungy & Catapult Combo and the Kawarau Combo carry no rating at all, and nothing is inferred from that either way.

One structural point about combo pricing: the stated savings on the big Nevis bundles, NZD 100 and NZD 210, are the operator's own arithmetic against its own singles. A buyer who qualifies for the multi-activity discount as well should ask which applies, because stacking assumptions are not stated anywhere; the discount rules on the operator's FAQ page speak of per-activity reductions on activities, and combos are priced as single products. Where the rules could interact, the operator's phone line settles it in a minute.

Discounts, The Card Fee And The Best Price Guarantee

Three rules from the operator change the final number: two or more activities nationwide take NZD 50 off per activity (Zipride excluded), three or more take NZD 70 off per activity, and repeat customers get 20% off a future single activity. A 1.99% card transaction fee is non-refundable even on a refundable booking. The operator also runs a best price guarantee, matching a cheaper live price if you contact it before booking.

The multi-activity discount deserves a worked look. Per the operator's FAQ, the discount applies to activities booked together nationwide, not only in Queenstown, and it excludes the Zipride. A jumper booking two separate activities could see NZD 100 come off the pair against the from-prices; three activities could see NZD 210 off. Whether a combo price plus a discount beats two singles plus a discount depends on the day's live prices, which is exactly the arithmetic to run before paying.

Notice the shape of that discount: it rewards booking separate activities together, which is a different mechanism from the combo bundles. Two singles at, say, the Kawarau Bungy and the Nevis Swing, booked as two activities, take NZD 50 off each under the stated rule. The same two experiences do not exist as a named combo, so the discount is the only saving route for that particular pairing. Anyone mixing and matching across the operator's nationwide sites, not just Queenstown, should keep the same rule in mind.

The repeat-customer 20% is narrower than it sounds: a future single activity only, with combos and the Zipride excluded. It is a reason to book the second jump direct with the operator, not a reason to expect money off today's bundle.

The card fee is the line item people miss. At 1.99% it is small in absolute terms, but it is non-refundable: cancel more than 24 hours ahead and the refund arrives minus that fee.

The best price guarantee is the clause that removes most price anxiety. If a cheaper live price for the same product turns up anywhere, contact the operator before booking and it matches, per its own FAQ. The order of operations is the whole game: match first, then pay. After payment the guarantee is not the stated route, and the refund window, not the guarantee, governs what comes back.

What The Price Includes: Photos, Video And T-Shirt

Booking direct includes photos, video with what the operator calls "instant delivery to your device", and an activity t-shirt, per the operator, on the Kawarau and Nevis activities. The Zipride includes photos only. That bundle matters when comparing prices, because media packages are a paid extra at many adventure operators elsewhere.

The operator's words on delivery are "instant delivery to your device", and that is as far as this page goes: no promises about what the footage shows or when it lands beyond the operator's own phrasing. The t-shirt is per activity, so a Thrillogy buyer deals with three products each carrying its own inclusions. The full index of guides sits on Queenstown Bungy Jump.

Transport is the other quiet inclusion. At Nevis the 4WD Bungy Bus is included in the price, and there is no self-drive option. At Kawarau the Bungy Bus is free with limited seats, leaving from the Queenstown Bungy Centre at the corner of Shotover and Camp Streets; you check in 30 minutes before departure. Spectators pay nothing at Kawarau, while at Nevis a spectator spot is NZD 50 for adults and free under 10. What the camera actually captures is covered in the photos and video guide.

Put those inclusions side by side with the sticker prices and the ladder compresses. The Nevis Bungy at from NZD 395 arrives with transport, media and a shirt attached; there is nothing left to add on the day except a spectator fare if someone comes along. The Kawarau Bridge Bungy at from NZD 320 carries the same media and shirt inclusions, with free parking at the site for self-drivers. Neither product dangles a cheap headline and then charges for the evidence.

The cancellation rule pairs with inclusions: cancel or change more than 24 hours before and the booking is fully refundable minus the 1.99% card fee; inside 24 hours, a no-show, or deciding not to jump on the day, is non-refundable. The cancellation and weather guide covers what happens if the operator stops operation.

The Ledge: Listed Prices, Not Bookable Yet

The Ledge Bungy and Ledge Swing sit at the bottom of the nominal price list, from NZD 240 and NZD 210 in the operator's FAQ text, but neither is bookable now: the operator lists both as coming in summer 26/27 with a waitlist and no price in its booking widget. The Skyline gondola ticket is not included. Check the operator's page for status before planning around it.

This matters for price shopping because a NZD 240 Ledge Bungy looks like the cheapest bungy in town. It is not a purchasable product at the time of this page, and no reopening date is stated. Anyone budgeting a trip around it should treat those FAQ-text figures as indicative only and confirm status with the operator directly on 0800 286 4958.

The heights are stated as 47 m / 154 ft for the Ledge Bungy and 21 m / 69 ft for the Ledge Swing, with a waist harness and a run-and-jump style, recovery by being lifted back to the platform. Whether the reopening lands early or late in the summer 26/27 season is not stated; ask, or watch the operator's page.

There is also a second cost the FAQ text flags that first-time readers glide past: the gondola ride up to the Skyline site is bought separately from Skyline, not from the bungy operator, so the true cost of a Ledge jump whenever it reopens is the jump price plus the gondola fare, and the gondola fare is not stated in the operator's material. The site's own overview of the third site, including how the access works, sits in the Ledge Bungy guide.

For a like-for-like alternative at the same price band, the 134 m Nevis Bungy at from NZD 395 is the bookable big-drop option, rated 5.0 across 122 reviews, with the operator's 4WD transport included and no separate media cost.

Child, Spectator And Second-Jump Costs

Children pay less only on Kawarau products: NZD 280 for the Bridge Bungy and NZD 200 for the Kawarau Swing, against NZD 320 and NZD 240 adult. Nevis Bungy and Nevis Catapult have no lower child price, per the operator's pages. Spectating is free at Kawarau and NZD 50 per adult at Nevis, free under 10, and the Nevis Explorer spectator trip is NZD 50.

Families comparing totals should also carry the age and supervision rules into the budget: under 18s need adult consent at check-in, and under 14s need an adult aged 18 or over on site, who does not have to take part. A family day at Kawarau can therefore include non-jumping adults at no cost, while a Nevis day charges each adult spectator NZD 50 for the bus trip in. The full family angle, including the 10+ and 13+ minimums, is in the Queenstown bungy with kids guide.

The repeat-customer 20% off a future single activity is the operator's "second jump" economy: it excludes combos and the Zipride, so it rewards coming back for another single product rather than stacking a bundle.

A quick family worked example, using from-prices only. One adult and one 12-year-old jumping the Kawarau Bridge pay from NZD 600 combined, with free spectator access for anyone else and free parking. The same pair cannot jump Nevis together, since the minimum age there is 13; a 13-year-old and an adult pay from NZD 790 for two Nevis jumps, and any non-jumping adult coming along adds NZD 50 for the spectator bus spot. These are floors, not quotes, but they show how the child pricing asymmetry between the two sites does more budget work than the headline difference suggests.

Common Mistakes When Reading Queenstown Jump Prices

The costly mistakes are treating a from-price as fixed, forgetting the 1.99% non-refundable card fee, comparing a bare jump price without the included media and transport, and budgeting for the unbookable Ledge. Booking late in the 15 December to 15 January peak can also mean missing out entirely, since the operator advises 4 to 6 weeks ahead for the Nevis Bungy in summer.

Each mistake has a simple fix. Read every number here as "from". Add roughly two dollars per hundred to any refund you expect back. Compare the Kawarau Bridge Bungy against the Nevis with transport and media counted on both sides, since one includes a 4WD bus ride and the other can be driven to with free parking. And treat the Ledge's FAQ-text prices as background until the operator confirms it is running.

Timing is the quiet one. Outside the peak window, about 48 hours ahead is usually enough, per the operator's FAQ; the busiest days of the year are 30 December to 2 January. A traveller who finds the Nevis full for those dates has not lost the money, only the slot: the 24-hour rule means an early booking stays movable, and moving it more than a day out keeps it refundable minus the card fee. The seasonal angle gets its own treatment in the best time to bungy guide, and the mechanics of booking and check-in, including photo ID, are in the booking and check-in guide.

One last habit worth forming: before paying anywhere, call the operator on 0800 286 4958 and invoke the best price guarantee if you have seen a cheaper live price. Matching is done when you make contact before booking, not after. The same call answers the interaction question between combo prices and multi-activity discounts, and any status question about the Ledge waitlist.

Which Price Is The One You Pay?

The number you pay is the operator's live price for your date and time, discounted by NZD 50 or NZD 70 per activity if you book two or more together, plus the 1.99% card fee. The from-prices printed here are the floor of the ladder, not a quote. Confirm the live figure on the booking page before budgeting to the dollar.

For most readers the decision compresses to three moves. Budget-level single jump: the Kawarau Bridge Bungy at from NZD 320, bookable with a 24-hour refund window. Big single jump: the Nevis at from NZD 395 with transport included. Best value per adrenaline dollar: a combo, from NZD 355 for Bungy plus Zipride up to the NZD 805 Thrillogy with its stated NZD 210 saving.

The Kawarau Combo, Bungy & Swing at from NZD 460 covers two activities for less than the Nevis Bungy alone plus a separate swing, subject to the day's prices, and it carries the same 24-hour change rule the operator applies across its products. Its rating is not stated, and that is fine; the arithmetic is the argument.

Whatever the choice, the same two clauses govern the money: more than 24 hours out it is refundable minus the card fee, and inside 24 hours it is not. Plan the booking date with the same care as the jump date, and the price on this page becomes the price you actually pay. More on the wider decision, including which jump suits a first timer, sits in which Queenstown bungy is best.
