Discover the thrilling history and iconic bungy jumping in New Zealand, from AJ Hackett’s first jump to the world’s highest leaps in Queenstown and Auckland. Take the plunge and feel the adrenaline today! BUNGY JUMPING IN NEW ZEALAND AJ Hackett and the Thrilling Legacy of Bungy Jumping in New Zealand If you're looking for an adrenaline-packed experience that defies gravity and common sense, then you’ve come to the right place. New Zealand’s bungy jumping is the ultimate thrill, and it all began with the one and only AJ Hackett, a legend in the world of extreme sports. The birthplace of this heart-stopping adventure is right here in New Zealand, and it’s waiting for you to take the plunge! The Birth of Bungy Jumping in New Zealand In 1986, a fearless carpenter-turned-adventurer, AJ Hackett, made history by taking a leap of faith from Auckland’s Greenhithe Bridge. His inspiration? The traditional land diving rituals of Pentecost Island in Vanuatu, as well as the antics of the Oxford University Dangerous Sports Club. But AJ wasn’t just about trying something wild – he was about making it accessible to everyone. His first daring jump in 1986 wasn’t enough. AJ went on to defy the rules again in 1987 with an unforgettable (and, let's say, illegal) bungy from the Eiffel Tower in Paris. While the stunt landed him in a bit of trouble with the authorities, it did wonders for bungy’s global fame. Fast forward to 1988, and AJ, alongside business partner Henry van Asch, launched the world’s first commercial bungy operation at the iconic Kawarau Bridge in Queenstown. This was no ordinary jump; for just $75, adventurers could take a thrilling 43-meter dive into the depths of the Kawarau River, and just like that, New Zealand became the hub of adventure tourism. Must-Experience Bungy Jumps in New Zealand New Zealand has a smorgasbord of bungy jumps for every level of daredevil. Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned pro, there’s a spot that’ll make your heart race and your palms sweat. Kawarau Bridge Bungy The original bungy site, nestled in the scenic Queenstown, is the perfect starting point. Jumping 43 meters into the Kawarau River, you’ll feel a surge of adrenaline unlike any other. It’s the place where the whole bungy craze began – so, if you’re looking to experience it the way AJ intended, this is the spot. Why You Should Take the Plunge Bungy jumping in New Zealand isn’t just about the thrill – it’s about stepping out of your comfort zone and embracing the spirit of adventure that AJ Hackett started all those years ago. There’s something magical about the moment before you leap, when your heart races and your mind wonders, "Am I really going to do this?" And then, you do it, and everything is just… perfect. That’s the magic of bungy. No matter which jump you choose, you’re not just making a memory – you’re becoming part of New Zealand’s rich adventure history. So, what are you waiting for? Embrace the challenge, take a deep breath, and book your bungy jump today. After all, life’s too short to keep your feet on the ground!

WELCOME TO Rotorua BOOK ACTIVITIES < Rotorua Home Waimangu geyser, c. 1903-04 (Alexander Turnbull Library, 1/2-038135-F) www.nzhistory ,govt.nz Rotorua's history is deeply intertwined with Māori culture, dating back to the 14th century when the Te Arawa people settled in the area. According to legend, Rotorua was discovered by Ihenga, a Te Arawa chief, who followed his hunting dog to a large body of water, which he named Rotorua, or "second lake," in honour of his uncle. This area quickly became significant to the Te Arawa people, who established villages along the shores of Lake Rotorua and surrounding geothermal landscapes. Rotorua later gained prominence as a Māori cultural hub, with early Māori tourism playing a key role in the region's growth. In the mid-19th century, Māori guides began sharing the geothermal wonders of the area, such as the now-lost Pink and White Terraces, with European visitors. These guides, especially women from the Tūhourangi and Ngāti Wāhiao iwi, were renowned for their skills and knowledge, bridging cultures through storytelling and guided tours. The region is also known for its powerful legends, such as that of Hinemoa and Tutanekai, a tale of love that has become part of the local identity. The hot springs on Mokoia Island, where Hinemoa swam to meet her love, remain a cherished part of Rotorua’s heritage today. Another legend, associated with Kuirau Park, tells of a Taniwha that was destroyed when the gods boiled the lake to avenge its capture of a local woman, Kuirau, lending the park its name and adding to the area’s mystique. Over time, Rotorua evolved into a spa town and later a center for Māori arts and crafts. Today, visitors can experience traditional Māori culture at places like Whakarewarewa Village and Te Puia, where they can witness authentic cultural performances, learn about Māori carving and weaving, and explore the unique geothermal features that continue to shape the area's identity. Rotorua remains one of New Zealand's premier destinations, offering a rich blend of history, culture, and natural beauty. Experience Rotorua’s vibrant cultural activities and tours, where you can immerse yourself in Māori traditions, legends, and geothermal landscapes. From authentic village experiences to mesmerizing performances, explore the heart of Māori culture with guided tours that showcase Rotorua's unique heritage and natural wonders.
