★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is a historic stone made bridge with amazing views of the Kawarau Gorge.
One can easily reach it and access the trails on this route via this bridge.
This has become even popular due to the Bungy Jumping which was invented here and is a constant crowd puller.
It does have trivia associated with Lord of the rings movies.
A must visit place if interested in adventure sports. Well recommended.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Spectacular and magnificent view from the bridge, experience adrenaline surge by just spectating bungy jumpers, can do zipline if you are not keen for bungy but up for some adventure.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful spot and the world home of bungy. A bit scary, but you will be fine if you just commit and do it! Well worth it. Exhilarating!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An amazing place to visit with amazing views of the Kawarau Gorge!
The Gorge is famous as a filming site for the Lord of the Rings movies...specifically the scene where the group is floating downriver past the Pillars of the Kings.
It is also famous as the original place where bungee jumping started, and many tourists come here to do that every day. If you are brave enough, it is supposed to be the best place in the world to bungee jump!
We avoided that, and just had a leisurely walk across the bridge to take in the scenery and get some great photos!
Another one of those “must visit” places of beauty in New Zealand, especially if you are a Lord of the Rings fan!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ There was a cold breeze coming up the valley when you are out on the bridge , but once inside you soon warmed up . The Bungy jump was busy , the Bungy Swing not so busy .
