Try the feet-first and mind-blowing rush of the Taupō Swing. Located 5 minutes from Taupo town center, this is a great alternative to a bungy jump or the perfect addition to combine with your bungy experience.

Once you arrive on-site, you'll read through the registration requirements, check-in, get harnessed and head out to the platform. Choose to swing solo or as a tandem with a friend - the price is the same per person. Your highly trained and friendly crew will set you up for your swing experience. Attached, you will then be brought out 44 meters above the river, dangling mid-air, until your countdown or surprise release.

Plunge straight down, reaching speeds of 70 km/h as you free-fall towards the river, then arcing up to 180°. The heavier the weight, the faster and higher you will go! Tandems are recommended, so why not grab a friend and experience the fun together. Enjoy the stunning views of the beautiful Waikato River Valley as you are brought back to the platform via a winch, where you'll probably say “Can I do it again?”
