The highest commercially - operated
bungee jump, according to the Guinness Book of
Records, this certainly is a test of nerves: a 216m drop to the valley floor.
The city of Queenstown is the birthplace of
bungee jumping and there are several awe - inspiring vistas where you can do just that; namely the Kawarau Bridge Bungy (the world's first
bungee site), which has a 43 - meter drop, or the Nevis Highwire, with a
recorded 8.5 second fall, and The Ledge, a freestyle
bungee accessed by a skyline gondola with a 154 ft drop.
