Taupo
Bungy Jumping
Taupo Bungy. Jump from a cantilevered platform that projects out from a cliff 150 feet above the Waikato River. You can go for the "water touch" or dry versions. Even if you have no intention of "walking the plank," go and watch the jumpers from the nearby lookout point. The jumps cost from NZ$149 a shot and are available daily from 9 to 5. 202 Spa Rd., off Tongariro St., 1 km (½ mi) north of town, Taupo. 07/377-1135 or 0800/888-408. www.taupobungy.com.
