Hello Summer, is that you?
Alright guys, we have been a little quiet around here lately, perhaps we are still recovering from the All Blacks awesome effort over RWC, but it would seem that the mercury is finally starting to rise, cue summer, cue bungy and swing madness, it’s all on!

Matariki 2011
Apparently we get a public holiday on the fake anniversary of the Queen’s birthday. Coming up is also Matariki which, in my opinion, is much more relevant in New Zealand than Queen’s Birthday. Matariki being the Aotearoa Pacific New Year or Maori New Year. Matariki is heralded by the rising of the constellation of stars called Matariki; this year this constellation rises today the...

My team dressed all in green and...

WatchTaupo gets ready for a new attraction at Taupo Bungy.
An update about what/when/how/where, the swing is on its way!
People say the darndest things at Taupo Bungy.
At Taupo Bungy it is our job to make people feel at ease and help our customers take the plunge. Nervous and concerned jumpers will often ask questions either upon registration, on the platform or after their jump in the recovery boat.
Now, we realize some people are just not thinking straight before or after they’ve made the decision to bungy, but some of these inquiries are just downright...
