AJ Hackett Bungy New Zealand’s journey began back in 1988. As a proud Kiwi company, we operate 13 activities across Auckland, Taupo and Queenstown where we inspire people to awesomeness by helping them do things they never thought they could.
Safety is deeply embedded within the company and we fiercely protect our strong record.
For over 32 years in New Zealand, we have provided the perfect backdrop and expertise to give our customers, you, the opportunity to push themselves by mustering up the courage to do something that they will never forget. We encourage everyone to LIVE MORE & FEARLESS.
While on the climb you will be asked to put away all devices. Listen to the guide and take in all the enriching information, stories, facts and ask questions. You will learn the health and safety needs for the operation and be able to engage with others including us locals. You will come away feeling enriched with newfound knowledge and achievement for having climbed this landmark.
Social Protocols
- Make new friends - This is a group experience so go along prepared to start conversations and make some new friends :-)
- Be a great listener - Have fun and stay safe by following instructions carefully.
- Turn your phone off - Make sure you don't use your phone while your guides are talking. If you need to make a call, please ask your guide/teacher first.
- Stay safe in the outdoors - Your guides know the environment better than anyone and are there to keep you safe; listen to ALL their instructions, ALL the time.
Cultural Protocols
- A chance to relax - This experience is one way Kiwis like to relax and enjoy life so it will seem very relaxed. Have fun, enjoy slowing down (away from work or study) and relax!
- Be on time - While the experience will be a relaxed one, make sure you allow yourself plenty of time to arrive early so you don't keep your guides and others waiting.
- Don't be shy - Kiwis are very friendly, open people so this experience is a great opportunity to not be shy, smile lots and make some new friends.
- Hello and goodbye in Māori - If you want to start practising some basic Māori phrases, you could try using ‘Kia ora’ (hello) and ‘Ka kite’ (goodbye).
