The Bungy: The most daring of visitors will take on the bungy – the North Island’s highest bridge jump. Go solo or test the strength of a friendship with a tandem leap. After your bungy jump enjoy a ride back to the bridge on our water powered chair-lift.

The Swing: Forget the playground… try this one! Our newest activity, the giant bridge swing, features a mind-blowing 50-metre freefall from the Mokai Bridge before arcing into a massive swing through the canyon below. Go solo or tandem!

Double Dare: We Double Dare you to complete any two activites! Customise your own two activity combo and experience the thrill of gravity twice over!
