Nicknamed Sulphur City, Rotorua is famed for its bubbling thermal mud pools and hot springs, but this scenic city in New Zealand’s North Island also has another string to its bow - a thrilling 43m (140ft) bungee jump from the top of a purpose-built tower. Enjoy spectacular panoramic views of Lake Rotorua and Mokoia Island both on your way up, and on your way down, if you can keep your eyes open!
Bungee jumping was first popularised as a sport by A J Hackett, a New Zealand entrepreneur, and has now become one of the world’s favourite extreme sports. This exhilarating jump ranks high among the country’s best, as you leap from a platform above the trout-filled Ngongotaha Stream, with a freefall of several seconds, before springing back up again!
