Nevis Highwire Platform

The Nevis Bungy is a bungee jumping platform in the Southern Alps near Queenstown in New Zealand's South Island.

It is suspended by high-tension cords, which are fixed at both ends on either side of the Nevis River valley.

Bungee jumpers usually fall at speeds of over 128 km/h (36 m/s), and the duration of the initial jump (until the tension in the cord pulls you back up for the first time) is about 8 seconds.

The second fall is larger than the world's first commercial bungee jump off Karawau Bridge, Queenstown.

The site cannot be accessed by any personal vehicles and may only be reached by taking the shuttle from downtown Queenstown at the company's store located at The Station.
