Overview

This combo pairs the two big thrill rides at the Kawarau Bungy Centre, the bungy jump off the historic Kawarau Bridge and the giant canyon swing, in a single visit run by AJ Hackett Bungy New Zealand. The bridge is the site of the world's first commercial bungy operation, and the jump platform sits 43 metres above the turquoise river. You can jump solo or tandem, and there is a water-touch option if you want the cord to dip you toward the river before the rebound.

After the jump, the swing gives you a different kind of drop. You are harnessed in and released into a wide arc through the gorge, with solo, tandem and three-person launch options. Photos and video of both activities are included, so you leave with the footage rather than paying extra for it on the day.

The whole thing runs 1.5 to 2.5 hours depending on how you get there. Self-driving is the quicker option at 1.5 hours, while the bus option from central Queenstown takes around 2.5 hours. The listing pitches it as the way to take on both of Queenstown's original thrills at one location, with crew on hand through check-in, briefing and both launches.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points worth knowing before you book.

Getting there. No hotel pickup is included. Free transport departs from the Queenstown Bungy Centre inside The Station Building on the corner of Shotover St and Camp St in central Queenstown, or you can self-drive, which is the quicker option at 1.5 hours versus 2.5 hours with the bus.
Age and weight. The bungy has a minimum age of 10, and under-15s need an accompanying adult. Jumpers must weigh between 35kg and 160kg solo, or up to 235kg tandem. The swing starts at age 8, with a 30kg minimum, 150kg solo maximum, and up to 240kg combined for tandem or three-person swings.
Nerves and staff. Reviewers describe the staff across check-in and the bridge as helpful and great fun, with one saying the team went above and beyond with encouragement before the jump. A full safety briefing from the crew comes before you step onto the platform.
Footage included. Photos and video are part of the package. One reviewer called out the free video and media as a highlight, so there is no need to budget extra for footage of the day.
Booking together. Both the bungy and the swing can be done tandem, and the swing can take three people at once. The listing advertises a saving with the combo deal compared with booking the activities individually.

Free time on site. There is time built in between the jump and the swing to watch other jumpers from the bridge area. The listing describes a buzzing atmosphere at the centre between the two activities.

Common issues. The meeting point may vary depending on the option selected, so check the booking page before you go, and hotel pickup is not part of the package. The bus option adds roughly an hour compared with self-driving. Weight and age limits are firm for both activities, which rules the combo out for younger or lighter children on the bungy side. The listing's 24-hour cancellation window means same-day changes are not covered by the refund policy.
