The Nevis Highwire Bungy is 134 metres high, (440 feet). Purpose designed and built purely for bungy jumping with 30 different patents this award winning structure has to be seen to be believed.
The jump pod is suspended by high-tension wires that span 380 metres across the Nevis River. Access is by cable car for jumpers and spectators alike.
The Nevis Highwire Bungy is the same height as the top of Sydney Harbour Bridge at 134m. Jumpers travel in excess of 128kmph. The Nevis Highwire Bungy is situated on a private high country sheep station. The only access to the site is by AJ Hackett Bungy 4WD. This is the highest Bungy jump in Australasia .

This is a three and one half storey underwater viewing room able to accommodate 70 people around twenty four windows to view the rare black and pink corals, marine life and sponges found in the World Heritage Park of Fiordland.
The structure is floating rather than fixed to the seabed being secured in place by hanging arms anchored onto adjacent rock walls. Accessed by boat, the platform itself is divided into an above surface reception/visitor information centre, capable of holding up to 200 people and the 20m high vertical circular observation tower weighing 450 tonnes.

Skywire TM is the only ride of its type in the world; unique & innovative!"
Adventure seekers are strapped onto a high tech 4-chair carriage, which is launched 1.6km (1 mile) over and back, high above a native forest valley. Riders can reach speeds of up to 100 kph(60 mph) on an endless cable dropping 150 metres - similar in principle to an extreme high-speed ski lift.
To begin the adventure participants will journey through bush trails to the terminal site that offers magnificent views over Tasman Bay . The backdrop panorama of the Abel Tasman and Kahurangi National Parks with the Tasman Ranges ( Lord of the Rings mountains ) creates a scene to rival the best New Zealand has to offer.
4. Auckland Harbour Bridge Bungy - AJ Hackett (2003)
The Auckland Harbour Bridge became a bungy jumping site from April 2003 after four years of planning and consent processes.
The bungy site is located under the road deck of the bridge in the main navigation span where a state-of-the-art jump pod has been installed. Jumpers pay $125 to leap from the pod towards the western side of the harbour and are winched back up into the pod using patented retrieval system technology developed by AJ Hackett Bungy in New Zealand.
Negotiation, planning and consent processes for the bungy site have spanned four years in alliance with Transit New Zealand, ARC and consultation with yacht clubs and the Harbour Master and other concerned parties.
The Auckland site is the first AJ Hackett bungy operation in the North Island as well as being the only bungy jump in the Auckland region.
