Things to do in Queenstown, NZ

1) Bungy Jumping @ Kawarau Bridge (by AJ Hackett)



"The Kawarau Bridge Bungy (bungee) - home to the original 43metre Bungy Jump. If you've heard of Bungy, you've heard of the Kawarau... it is where Bungy founders AJ Hackett and Henry van Ash started it all.

The world's first and most infamous of leaps is still going strong, with tens of thousands Bungy jumping each year. At the world's best-loved Bungy site, you can choose from a number of options; topple over backwards, forwards, with another person, spin or somersault. Kawarau Bridge Bungy is also the only Bungy in Queenstown where you can choose to bob above the water, touch it, or be fully immersed." ~ Image & Text reproduced from http://www.ajhackett.com/nz/

PRICE: $180 NZD (Any sponsors?)

2) White Water Rafting
Possible locations: "Shotover River" (Serious White Water) or "Kawarau River" (for first-time rafters).
Companies: Queenstown Rafting, Extreme Green Rafting, Challenge Rafting
Anyone with experience on which location & company is better?

PRICE: $180 NZD

3) Kayaking
We can choose from independent kayaking (Queenstown area), guided tours (Queenstown, Glenorchy or Lake Wakitipu) or combos (kayak + dinner).
Companies:
* We'll probably decide on this only when we get there since kayaking is something we can do in other countries.

4) Eat!
