Go Higher or Discover a Different Kind of Rush
Request Nevis Bungy or Nevis Catapult as an alternative to your included Kawarau Bridge Bungy, or add forest ziplining, canyon swinging or a Shotover Jet ride with Queenstown transfers.
Prefer a different wilderness adventure? Exchange canyoning for the Dart River Funyaks experience from Queenstown, combining jet boating with inflatable canoeing. Dart River Wilderness Jet and a guided quad bike adventure provide further alternatives to your rafting day. Additional activities depend on suitable timing, seasonal availability and participation requirements.
Kawarau Bungy, Nevis Bungy or Nevis Catapult?
Keep your included Kawarau Bridge Bungy, request Nevis Bungy or Nevis Catapult as an alternative, or combine both Nevis experiences for a bigger adrenaline hit. The Bungy and Catapult can be completed one after the other during the same visit, sharing one return transfer from Queenstown.
