AJ Hackett Bungy New Zealand is synonymous with innovation, adventure and bucket lists. With over 28 years of experience we are one of New Zealand’s leading tourism adventure companies that offer adrenaline-fuelled fun to the masses. In 1988 AJ Hackett Bungy New Zealand opened the world’s first commercial Bungy site and we have been growing ever since. Today we are located in both Auckland and the Adventure Capital of the World- Queenstown, and have 10 exciting activity options to choose from.

BUNGY

Back in 1988 two pioneers jumped into the world spotlight by launching the world’s first commercially operated Bungy Jumping site. Today we have four Bungy jumps, three in Queenstown and one at Auckland Harbour bridge offering NZ’s only ocean touch. Each jump site offers a different experience. In Queenstown, the Kawarau Bridge is the original and arguably still our most popular jump. The Ledge is our freestyle Bungy where you can do a running jump and the Nevis Bungy is the highest in Australasia at 134 metres.

SWING

Queenstown is the home of two exciting swings. The Ledge Swing, located at the top of the Skyline Gondola provides stunning views over Queenstown with Lake Wakatipu and the rugged mountains beyond. Our Nevis Swing (pictured above) is the world’s largest. Here you will be suspended 160 metres above the canyon floor and be released across the valley reaching speeds of 120kph. Ramp up the fun factor by riding forwards, backwards, tandem, truck’n trailer, yin and yang, back2back, honeymoon and much more.

CATAPULT

Queenstown is home to the world’s biggest and most extreme catapult in the world! You’ll be propelled 150m (492ft) up and out across the Nevis Valley, experiencing up to 3Gs of force as you reach speeds of almost 100kms (62miles) an hour in 1.5 seconds flat. A hair-raising drop will have your blood pumping and you’ll be screaming for another hit! There’s a reason our crew dub it the Thriller!

ZIPRIDE

The Zipride is an excellent option for conference and incentive groups. Without the fear factor of some of our other options this is pure and simple FUN for all! Comprised of 3x 130m zip lines the Zipride can take up to six people at once, allowing for solo or tandem rides and with a variety of ride styles (including superman and upside-down), you can take your pick as you race against friends and colleagues reaching speeds of up to 60kph.

BRIDGE CLIMB

With unparalleled access to the Auckland Harbour Bridge, this is not just the most unique Auckland attraction; this is the only Bridge Climb in all of New Zealand. Put another way, you’ve simply gotta do it! AJ Hackett Bungy NZ provides the only walking access onto this Auckland landmark, complete with your very own tour guide to share with you the Bridge’s colourful secrets and amazing architectural features, as well as pointing out some of the best Auckland sights.

SKYWALK

Inch along a narrow walkway around the Sky Tower, high above Auckland. No handrail, nothing but thin air and the city 192 metres below, SkyWalk is an exhilarating challenge you’ll never forget. Our guides point out Auckland attractions, tell you stories and challenge you to daredevil tricks. For a big New Zealand adventure, 360° panoramic views of Auckland and extraordinary memories, SkyWalk the ledge.

SKYJUMP

SkyJump is an incredible adrenaline rush in the heart of Auckland, New Zealand’s highest jump and only Base Jump by wire. Plummet 192 metres off the Sky Tower at 85 km an hour!! Completely safe and utterly unforgettable. If you’re looking for things to do in Auckland, don’t miss SkyJump. One of New Zealand’s best adventure activities, rated must do by visitors and awarded a certificate of excellence by TripAdvisor.

 

We are capable of handling bespoke requests for educational groups as well as the unique needs of conference and incentive business. We offer a broad range of products and services, as such our customers come from all walks of life, there is something for everyone!

In the heart of New Zealand’s geothermal region lies Polynesian Spa, a world-renowned, natural mineral bathing and wellness spa retreat, on the tranquil shores of Lake Rotorua. Polynesian Spa has repeatedly been nominated as a World Top10 spa and has been welcoming guests from New Zealand and around the world for over 50 years. The site itself dates back to the 1800s when the first bathing houses were established for patrons to “come take the waters” in Rotorua. Many of these historic elements can be seen on site.

Channeling the geothermal marvels in its backyard, waters from two natural springs are fed into the 28 mineral pools. The sulphate rich acidic Priest Spring relieves tired muscles, aches and pains while the sodium rich alkaline waters of the Rachel Spring nourish and heal skin.

There is a decadent spa therapy menu with signature geothermal treatments on offer. From Aix spa therapies to body wraps and polishes, mud massages, aromatherapy treatments, and facials, Polynesian Spa is the perfect place to relax and enjoy nature’s gift.

Many of the pools are absolute lakeside with geothermal steam softly unfurling across the natural reserve of Sulphur Bay. A mesmerising and relaxing spectacle.

A range of private and public bathing areas are available combined with wellness activities such as yoga, meditation and sound healing all easily tailored to suit both the individual and group markets.

Our on-site cafe caters beautifully prepared breakfasts, lunches and platters and serves freshly made juices and smoothies, and arguably the best gelato in the country. Cabinet food and an a-la-carte menu are also available.

No visit to Polynesian Spa is complete without a bit of retail therapy. There is a wide array of high quality gifts and products used in our therapy treatments to choose from with a full range of bathing suits, towels and other giftware on offer.
