Many tourists visit Queenstown, the "Adrenaline Capital of the World," and settle for a quick jet boat ride or a short zipline. While these are fun, standard afternoon activities, they do not truly push your limits.
If you want to experience the true, raw extreme sports culture that put this town on the global map, conquering the AJ Hackett Nevis Bungy Queenstown experience is an absolute requirement.
Standing on the edge of a suspended glass-floor pod, looking down at the rugged Nevis Valley floor far below, the mental game is terrifyingly real. It requires a completely different level of courage when you have to push yourself off the ledge. Here is your comprehensive guide to navigating this half-day excursion, including exact 2026 prices, the terrifying 134m drop, and the massive swing.
Taking the leap: Australasia's highest bungy at AJ Hackett Nevis Bungy Queenstown.

AJ Hackett? The Pioneers of Commercial Bungy
When you are dealing with heights of this magnitude, safety and reputation are paramount. AJ Hackett is the legendary company that practically invented commercial bungy jumping.
This Nevis site is one of their most established and extreme, boasting a near-perfect 4.9/5 star rating from over 301 reviews. They have successfully managed over 5K+ booked jumps on this platform alone, proving their absolute competence in safety logistics. Furthermore, they operate as a Certified Sustainable Partner, ensuring the pristine New Zealand environment is protected. You are in safe, veteran hands.
Choose Your Terror: Bungy, Swing, or Catapult?
The Nevis site is a dedicated playground for high adrenaline activities, offering three distinct options. While Bungy is the flagship, you have full flexibility to do 1 activity, or 2 or do them all for a serious adrenaline rush.
1. The Nevis Bungy (The Classic 134m Drop)
Price (2026): ~US$ 233 per person
This is the main event. You will jump Australasia's highest bungy at a staggering 134m (the highest in New Zealand). When you step off that ledge, you will experience a heart-stopping 8.5 seconds of pure, terrifying freefall before the cord catches you.
2. The Nevis Swing (The 300m Arc)
Price (2026): ~US$ 191 per person
If diving headfirst isn't your style, take on the Nevis Swing—the most famous swing in the world. You will fly at 120 kph across the valley on one of the most devilishly extreme swings ever devised, carving a massive 300m arc through the canyon.
3. The Nevis Catapult (The Human Slingshot)
Price (2026): ~US$ 174 per person
This is the newest and most aggressive machine on the site. You will be propelled 150m out across The Nevis valley by the biggest human catapult in the world. Prepare your neck, because you will go from 0 to 100kph in just 1.5 seconds flat.

The Ultimate Savings: Why You Must Book the Combo
If you are making the 4-hour trek out to the Nevis Valley, doing just one activity often leaves people wishing they had done more. The specialized 4x4 bus ride alone is a commitment.
The Combo options allow you to select your primary activity (like the Bungy) and easily add a second or third (like the Swing or Catapult) at a deeply bundled rate. While individual prices for all three would cost over $598, you can book the Nevis 3-Activity Combo for just US$ 474. Doing 1 activity, 2 Activities, or 3 activities is your choice, but the combo is the best value by far.
Because the specialized 4x4 buses have strictly limited seating and these high-adrenaline slots are some of the most sought-after in Queenstown, daily availability fills up weeks in advance.

Key Logistics: Meet-up & Remote Valley Access
Because the Nevis Valley is a remote, rugged location on private land, you cannot drive there yourself.
The Meet-up: All participants must meet at the AJ Hackett Bungy - Queenstown Bungy Centre located in town. Latecomers cannot be refunded, so arrive early.
Duration: You will join a group and take a specialized 4x4 bus up the mountain. The entire round trip has a 4hr duration. Plan a half-day for this excursion.
