Adrenaline junkies unite! At New Zealand’s very own “adventure-capital” Queenstown, which delights outdoors enthusiasts with an excitement array of fun activities, from skiing and snowboarding to heli-skiing and bungee-jumping. The town also opens up some quality Queenstown hotel accommodation featuring the perfect setting to relax after a hard day of outdoor adventures. One great family hotel Queenstown boasts of is the Copthorne Hotel & Resort Queenstown Lakefront serving up modern comforts and stylish interiors to soak in the scenic views of Lake Wakatipu out front. Set out the next morning and check out the fantastic array of adrenaline pumping skyward adventures from A J Hackett Bungy Jumping. Traditional bunjee-jumping fans will be in for the thrill of a lifetime, as they plummet from a cable car set an unbelievably high 134 metres off the ground. Experience an exhilarating ground rush that lasts for 8.5 heart-stopping seconds. But jumping is not all that is offered. How about prolonging the thrills by swinging way up high from a suspension cable? No falling here, just the heady sensation of flying towards the Remarkables Mountain. Your own body weight dictates the direction and speed of the “flight”, so simply spin around and twirl upside down, covering a massive 300m aerial arc over New Zealand’s unspoiled verdure. Or, if high-flying thrills are not your thing, take a fun zip-line slide over the pristine Kawaru River. Perfect for all ages, three 130m zip lines offer the chance to zip along over the river at riveting speeds of 60mph. Riders can go alone or in tandem and afterward, enjoy a relaxing cruise back to the starting point. For those who prefer to get their thrills while touching something solid, embark on a scenic bridge climb over the Auckland Harbour Bridge, a panoramic 1.5 hour trek. Featuring custom-engineered walkways, it is a safe and enjoyable way to take in one of Auckland’s most iconic landmarks and enjoy extensive commentary on Auckland and its surroundings. Whatever your adventure preference you’re sure to find something up your speed at AJ Hackett Bunjy Jumping!
