Overview

The Nevis Bungy drops you 134 metres from a purpose-built pod hanging above the Nevis River. The whole thing runs 3.5 to 4 hours door to door. You start at the Queenstown Bungy Centre on the corner of Shotover and Camp Streets, where the operator's shuttle is mandatory for everyone heading out to the site.

From there the trip gets remote fast. A 4WD vehicle carries you down a private road into the Nevis Valley, through dramatic alpine landscapes. At the base you transfer to a see-through cable car that runs out to the jump pod. Once you are harnessed and checked, a countdown, a leap, and 8.5 seconds of pure adrenaline follow.

Photos and videos of your jump are included in the price, and one reviewer said the shared footage was amazing. The jump is open to ages 13 and up with conditions, and weights between 45kg and 127kg. Anyone who wants to come along without jumping pays a spectator fee.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points will make the day smoother, from what the shuttle rules are to what happens with your photos.

Getting there. You cannot drive yourself to the pod. The operator's shuttle from the Queenstown Bungy Centre is mandatory, and pickup from hotels is not included. Transport from Kawarau Bungy Centre can also be arranged by contacting the operator's reservations team.
Age and weight. The minimum age is 13. Jumpers under 14 need an adult aged 18 or over on site, though that adult does not have to jump, and anyone under 18 needs adult consent at check-in. Check ages and accompaniment for everyone in your group before booking. Jumpers must weigh between 45kg and 127kg. There is no strict height limit, but each jumper must fit the harness, and weather can shift the operating weight ranges, with the crew assessing every jumper on the day. Check weights across your group before booking.
The fear factor. Several reviewers describe feeling frightened beforehand and exhilarated after. One parent noted that walking out onto the ledge was scarier than the jump itself. That nervous build-up appears to be a normal part of the experience, not a sign you are unready.

Staff and safety. Reviews repeatedly mention friendly, patient staff and rigorous safety checks. One traveller described the checks as double and triple controlled, and several said they felt safe throughout. Trust the routine, even when your knees are shaking.
Photos and video. A photo and video package is included with the jump, and one reviewer said the photos and video shared were amazing. You can leave the phone behind and relive the fall afterwards.
Spectators. Companions who want to watch rather than jump can pay a spectator fee of NZD 50, which covers the cable car ride and transport. Factor this in if you are travelling with a mixed group.

Common issues. Hotel pickup is not part of this product, and the shuttle from central Queenstown is mandatory, so you need to build in time to reach the Bungy Centre meeting point. The jump is genuinely frightening, and reviewers are candid about that, though nearly all say the fear faded into exhilaration. Keep the 24 hour cancellation window in mind when planning your dates.
