Taupo Bungy & Cliffhanger

Since commencing operations in 1991, over 290,000 visitors have “TAKEN THE PLUNGE” with Taupo Bungy.

Located in the Waikato River Valley upstream of the world renowned Huka Falls, Taupo Bungy is New Zealand’s most scenic bungy sites. Our unique cantilever platform projects out from the cliff-top 47metres above the crystal clear waters of the Waikato River below. The colour of the water alone is enough to inspire you to jump!

Our highly trained crew pride themselves in providing you with an exhilarating bungy experience. We are the highest water touch bungy in New Zealand, so for those seeking the ultimate ground rush, we specialise in getting you wet, from your fingertips right up to your ankles! Of course, if you prefer to stay dry, that is no problem either. We have an extensive jump menu, which outlines options for both solo and tandem jumps.

A scenic walking track, from the bungy jetty back to the Taupo Bungy office, provides convenient return access for the jumper after completing their jump. The walking and bike tracks also provides a short walk for spectators, enabling spectacular views of the sheer cliffs and stunning river environment.

TAUPO CLIFFHANGER

New Zealand’s newest extreme swing opened in December 2009, and has since had many brave souls freefall on this epic experience.

This newest adrenaline rush adds another dimension to the plethora of adventure activities in the Lake Taupo region. It offers those who are challenged by the idea of hanging upside down, a feet-first mind-blowing rush.

The swing itself, is operated from a platform, 44 metres above the Waikato River. For those that take on the extreme swing, our crew will get them signed up and weighed, then it’s off to the platform for a full body harnessing. Once the harness is connected, its action time! Swingers can choose a countdown or the surprise option, either way the release cord is pulled and the freefall kicks in.

Swinging right down towards the crystal clear waters below, then arcing up to nearly 180°, the experience will reach speeds of up to 70kph. As the swinging slows, one can finally enjoy the scenery as the winch takes care of the ride back to the platform. Swingers can choose whether to go solo or tandem.
