Best Place to Bungee Jump in NZ? Best Place to Jet Boat?

Can anybody tell me where the best place to bungee in NZ is? My boyfriend would like to go to the highest place possible but I would also like it to be scenic. Any recommendations of the best place to jet boat that is the most exhilerating would be much appreciated. Please list links of tour companies if possible and descriptions. Thanks for the help!

Linzo there is only one place to go and that is the Adrenaline capital of the World - QUEENSTown.

The bungee jump to do is "The Nevis" and details can be found on

http://www.ajhacket.co.nz

and the jet boat ride par excellence is the Shotover canyon with Shotover jet. There are several other jet boat rides in Queenstown but for 25 mins of sure pleasure it cant be beaten.

Website:

www.shotoverjet.com.

I have done 4 bungee jumps and the Nevis reigns supreme and I have done a number of shotover canyon rides.

Whilst in Queenstown you can go whiteriver rafting, parapenting

( jumping off a hill in a tandem parachute), canyon swings, skydiving, luge to name a few of the activities available.

For scenery Qthe greater Queenstown area was used as backdrops for 'The Lord of Rings" movie trilogy - Need I say more

At night the town rocks and I am a lot nearer 60 than 50..

Come, see enjoy

Thanks for the info I will definitely check those websites out. Do you know if you can tandem jump the Nevis and if not is it worth doing the tandem at Taupo or is there a better tandem location?

Mokai Gravity Canyon, 20k's south of Taihape (S.H.1) has the highest bungy jump in the North Island, and they do tandem jumps. They also have a giant swing, chairlift, and flying fox.

Great scenery too!
