The country is made up of some of the world\u2019s most spectacular landscapes<\/strong>, from vast mountain ranges, steaming volcanoes to sweeping coastlines is none other than New Zealand<\/strong>. It is a natural playground <\/strong>for thrill seekers <\/strong>and adventurers <\/strong>and also those who simply want to visit for the culture and landscapes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

New Zealand <\/strong>is honestly one of the most picturesque <\/strong>and photogenic places <\/strong>on earth. A small island nation of just over 4.5 million populations<\/strong>, it is made up of two major land masses <\/strong>that include North Island <\/strong>and South Island<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It is a country so diverse <\/strong>and so beautiful<\/strong>, there\u2019s no wonder that it plants itself on the top of many travelers to do lists. There\u2019s a little something for everyone, from the great walks to the mountains, from the hot springs to the hobbits <\/strong>and from the beaches to the lakes <\/strong>and a high jump from a tall structure<\/strong>. There\u2019s more than enough reasons to validate this amazing country <\/strong>as the best place on the earth \u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Queenstown, South Island, New Zealand <\/strong>is the “extreme sport” <\/strong>capital of the globe, adventure central for adrenaline junkies<\/strong>. A former gold-mining town on the banks of Kawarau river <\/strong>in the Southern Alps<\/strong>, it was here in 1988 <\/strong>that is famous for the world’s commercial bungee jumps <\/strong>or also called \u201cbungy\u201d jumps <\/strong>in New Zealand<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Todays, Bungee jumping <\/strong>has become a truly national sport <\/strong>in New Zealand. There are different ways of Bungee jumping and it depends on the tourists which they love to jump on their desires and choices. Mainly it involves from the top of the bridge<\/strong>, water touch Bungy<\/strong>, the sky jump<\/strong>, with a zip line <\/strong>and the swing bungy jumping<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In case you were not aware, bungy jumping is the act of tying an elasticized cord around your feet or waist<\/strong>, then hurling yourself off a crazy height in order to attain a feeling of knuckle whitening terror<\/strong>, which quickly changes to exhilaration as the adrenaline rush takes hold.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Generally, a bungy jump <\/strong>is usually made from a fixed structure <\/strong>such as a tower or bridge but some daredevils have even tried it from a helicopter or hot air balloon. When the individual plunges towards the ground at speeds of up to about 120km per hour (depending on height), the bungy cord stretches, then recoils, then the jumper <\/strong>is flung upwards again then downwards <\/strong>and then upwards <\/strong>until the kinetic energy <\/strong>is used up.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Queenstown, the World\u2019s capital of adventure, provides you the breathtaking jumping spots<\/strong>. You can defy gravity by jumping over height between 49 and 134 meters that\u2019s the world record.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The first commercial jumps took place from the bridge of the river Kawarau <\/strong>and its height of 43 meters <\/strong>in 1983<\/strong>. The 43-meter <\/strong>drop even allows you to dive your head into the water of the Kawarau River <\/strong>or touch <\/strong>it with your fingertips<\/strong>. A boat collects you on arrival and it is the most famous jump in New Zealand. It is a great classic experience <\/strong>at a fare <\/strong>of $180<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The jump spot is usually installed in very touristic zones<\/strong>, and you will find your happiness on the South Island especially<\/strong>, except if you wait for the last minute. This activity is very popular and booking is imperative several weeks in advance. Always book <\/strong>your buggy jumps <\/strong>on the internet <\/strong>to save money<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The price to pay for a powerful adrenaline discharge remains high, but bungee jumping <\/strong>is more affordable <\/strong>in New Zealand <\/strong>than anywhere else in the world.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The beauty <\/strong>of the landscape even improves <\/strong>the whole experience<\/strong>, with jumps platforms installed in the heart <\/strong>of the most beautiful panoramas <\/strong>of the country.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
