1 AJ Hackett Bungy Auckland

Drop of fun on the bridge

Visitors to New Zealand who are not going to the South Island don't have to miss out on that iconic white knuckle experience - the famous AJ Hackett Bungy.

Auckland's steel coathanger bridge, spanning the mighty Waitemata Harbour, is now the home of the world's first harbour bridge Bungy Jump. This Bridge Bungy has a uniquely Auckland flavour and is something that should definitely not be missed! And there will be pictures taken of your 'drop' so you can impress family and friends when you get home.
