So apparently I live a short distance from the highest bungy jump in Europe. I really want to try it before I leave–but I get butterflies just thinking about it! This post made me more scared/excited to try it–if that’s even possible. Great post!

@Dina The price remains the same regardless of when you jump.

@Juno There is soo much to do in Queenstown if you’re not on a strict budget!

@Poi I still get slightly nervous when I read about the jumps I’ve done or look at the pictures! Where have you jumped at?

@Anygelina It makes for a completely different experience jumping in the dark. I highly recommend it!

@Rebecca They didn’t notice it on your passport?! Some people can’t stomach the thought of the jump (or the price). Worth it if you make it back!

@Steph With any luck, we can both jump when you get to Queenstown!

Bungy jumping is something I’ve always wanted to do, but I’ve never had the opportunity yet. The price is high, but it definitely seems worth it for the experience and the memories.

You took some really great pictures, too.

Definitely envious! I’ve done two bungy jumps in New Zealand (Taupo and the Kawarau Bridge) and loved them both. But this one also looks amazing! I’ll admit I didn’t know how I felt about the Ledge Bungy chillin’ up there at the top of the gondola. But, add in this night jump option, and it definitely makes sense. Awesome.

My brothers did this in New Zealand a few months ago and they had the stupidity to film it so my mom watched it and nearly had a heart-attack twice – one for each son! It’s simply crazy! I will never go bungie jumping!!!

It’s a miracle they let me out of the country, after 16 months and I didn’t jump once!

(Went up in the gondola but kicked it with the kiddies and did go-karts:-))
