Bungee Jumping
Why live on the edge when you can jump off?
Bungee, or Bungy Jumping is very high on adrenaline junkies lists. Jumps can be from bridges and dams, to moving objects such as helicopters and hot air balloons. Whichever you choose to jump off the feeling is always euphoric.
There are locations all around the world to get your fix but as with many entries, some are more iconic and spectacular than others. Do you want to hurl towards the earth experiencing pre fall and a pure rush of adrenaline? Of course you do!

Our Pick
Nevis Bungee, New Zealand
The Nevis Highwire bungee jump is a spectacular jump, which is from a cabin. It's not the most sturdy starting point like a bridge and a dam, meaning that your nerves as you get into the cable car and dangle above the Nevis River can be somewhat increased.
Where: Queenstown, New Zealand
Height: 134 Metres

Faq?
Despite there being no firm law in place, the general age permitted is 18.
If it wasn't we wouldn't recommend it! Of course you should be warey of jumping if you have any serious heart conditions or issues with your joints such as chronic back or neck pain, but for most healthy adults it's completely safe.
The shorter the wait the better, if you here a countdown... go on 1! Wear comfortable clothes so you're not filled with adrenaline and being wedgied at the same time. And take a mate, it's good to have someone who can tell other just how terrified your face was before you leapt.
