What the Kawarau Swing Experience Is Like
Your adventure begins with a scenic Bungy Bus journey from Queenstown to the Kawarau Bungy Centre, where the Bungy Crew will get you ready for your swing high above the gorge. Once you’re secured and released from the platform, you’ll sweep through the Kawarau Gorge at speed before gently swinging back towards the platform.
The experience is ideal for friends and family who want to share an adrenaline-filled activity without the freefall of a bungy jump. Spectators can also join the trip and enjoy the viewing areas at the centre, making it easy to take in the spectacular scenery and atmosphere even if they’re not taking the swing themselves.
