7 good reasons to (re)go to New Zealand #6

We go beyond our limits in Queenstown

“Have you tried bungee? The question arises on every street corner in Queenstown, the cradle of bungee jumping (www.bungy.co.nz). In 1988, inspired by a practice from the New Hebrides, A.J. Hackett and Henry van Asch were the first to open this extreme sport to everyone. Since then, adrenaline seekers have been rushing into the 40m free-falling void of the Kawarau Bridge. The less adventurous opt for a paragliding baptism (www.tandemparagliding.com). In Queenstown, one quickly becomes addicted to the emotions of outdoor sports, summer and winter alike. So many excuses to have fun and party until dawn with new friends from all over the world. The bravest continue with the Routeburn Track, one of the most beautiful trails in the country.
