The countdown is on as AJ Hackett Bungy New Zealand prepares to launch its brand-new adventure ride, the Kawarau Swing, at the historic Kawarau Bridge on Friday, October 24. The new attraction brings a bold new dimension to the birthplace of bungy jumping.
Designed for one, two or three people, the swing offers a dramatic 43-metre drop over the Kawarau River, making it the South Island’s first multi-person swing and the most social way yet to experience a free fall.
“Not everyone is ready to bungy, and that’s okay,” says AJ Hackett chief executive David Mitchell. “The Kawarau Swing is our answer to that. It’s big on adrenaline, light on hesitation and perfect for groups or first-timers.”
“This is more than a new ride, it’s a new chapter in Queenstown’s adventure story,” says operations manager Sam Baxter. “You’re flying through one of the most beautiful spots in the country, screaming with your mates – what’s better than that?”
“We wanted something bold, fun and inclusive,” says product developer Emma Reid. “Whether you’re doing it solo or stacking three deep, it’s the most fun you can have in a harness.”
The Kawarau Swing opens to the public on Friday, October 24, with bookings available now through: www.bungy.co.nz
