taupo bungy
 Take the perfect
plunge at Taupo. Swan dive through space with a shout and a
smile, as 100,000 people have done before you, from the
world’s first cantilevered bungy platform.
The Taupo Bungy site is at 202 Spa Road, just 5 minutes drive
from the Taupo town centre. The purpose-built platform is set
against the cliff top 47 metres above the mighty Waikato River,
just a short distance below it’s outlet from Lake Taupo. The
river scene is quite spectacular, with sheer white cliffs
plunging into the clear water and views to picturesque Cherry
Island. The cantilevered platform projects 20 metres out over the
river and can carry 100 people. Spectator viewing is possible
from this platform, and from several lookout points down the long
river access path, including the riverside jetty where the
inflatable recovery craft is moored.
The crew gives you the option of a solo or tandem jump. If you
want to chill out they can adjust the bungy cord to give you a
water touchdown. This provides the ultimate ground rush as you
fall all the way down, splashing your head and shoulders as the
bungy cord stretches to its limit.
 The Taupo Bungy has gained an excellent
reputation for safety standards and professionalism. Bookings are
recommended in the summer months. High-tech videos, multi-frame
photographs, T-shirts and souvenirs of your jump are available as
positive proof of your exploits. Group discounts are offered;
there are special rates for backpackers and worthwhile discounts
are offered for repeat jumps.
The North Island’s most popular bungy jump is a real blast.
For an exhilarating experience go for the full nine yards with a
water touch. It’s a Taupo specialty and you can choose to
have a simple hand splash or a full dunking to waist level.
Don’t miss this Max Buzz adrenalin rush.
