AJ Hackett

The pioneer behind the extreme sport, A.J Hackett is the man behind the company that made bungy jumping what it is today.

Auckland Sky Tower SkyJump

Taupo Bungy

Taupo Bungy’s water touch bungy over the Waikato River is one of the most popular in the North Island. You can choose to bungy solo or tandem with a friend and even decide whether you just want to touch the surface or be fully submerged in the river 47 metres below.
