Frequently asked questions
The Nevis Bungy is New Zealand’s highest bungy jump, with an incredible 134-metre drop above the remote Nevis Valley. After stepping from the suspended platform, you’ll experience around 8.5 seconds of freefall before the bungy cord catches you. The sheer height, dramatic canyon setting and exhilarating plunge make this one of Queenstown’s ultimate bucket-list adventures.
The minimum age for the Nevis Bungy is 13 years. Participants aged 13 or 14 need an adult to provide consent at check-in, and AJ Hackett recommends that they are accompanied by an adult to the Nevis Bungy site. There is no upper age limit specified, although all participants must meet the operator’s health, safety and weight requirements.
Nevis Bungy participants must weigh between 45kg and 127kg. These limits are in place to ensure the bungy equipment and safety systems operate correctly. If you’re close to either limit, it’s worth checking with the operator before travelling. You’ll also need to wear flat, secure, enclosed footwear, with warm layers recommended during Queenstown’s colder months.
Allow around four hours for the complete Nevis Bungy experience when departing from the Queenstown Bungy Centre. The journey to the remote Nevis Playground is part of the adventure, with the Bungy Bus travelling along a rugged private road into the spectacular Nevis Valley. Check-in is required 30 minutes before your scheduled bus departure.
