If you're about to go bungy jumping – do it at Kawarau Bridge. The very first commercial bungy jumping was launched here.
The very world's first bungy jumping was made by AJ Hackett from Eiffel Tower. Then, in his homeland of New Zealand he was the first to offer bungy jumping on a commercial basis.

How to do?
1.Drive north on the road 6 to Kawarau Bridge. The journey will take about 25 minutes, but in general, make at least 1.5 hours of your time for the entire adventure. Either use a free shuttle service that departs daily from the city center at the corner of Camp and Shotover Streets from 8:40 am every 1 h 20 m (last bus at 3:20 pm, you need to check-in for 30 minutes before the trip).
2. As you arrived at the bungy jumping site, buy a ticket and get ready (take a sip and make sure you're not hungry, take off your glasses, watch and accessories). Clothes have no matter, but better to jump naked :)
3. After the jump you will be given a certificate, branded T-shirt and a link for downloading the pictures of your trembling knees on the tower or your facial expressions in flight :)
