About
AJ Hackett Auckland Bridge Bungy & Climb sits right on the iconic Auckland Harbour Bridge in Herne Bay, offering two of the most exhilarating ways to experience the city's most recognisable landmark. Whether you're plunging 40 metres into the Waitemata Harbour on a bungy jump or climbing the bridge's arch for 360-degree views across Auckland, this is where adrenaline meets scenery. It's the only place in New Zealand where you can legally jump off the bridge, and the only bungy jump in the Southern Hemisphere with water below—making it a genuinely unique Auckland experience that's earned its 4.8-star reputation.
Visitors should expect a professionally run operation with thorough safety briefings, friendly staff, and a genuine buzz of excitement throughout. Most jumpers spend 2–3 hours from arrival to walk-out, while climbers typically take 1.5–2 hours for the full experience. The climb suits almost everyone—it's not rock climbing, but a guided walk up fixed stairs and walkways—while bungy jumps naturally appeal to thrill-seekers and first-timers looking to tick off a bucket-list moment. The views across the city, Hauraki Gulf, and Waitemata Harbour are stunning from either activity. Dress warmly (it's windy up there), wear closed shoes, and book ahead during summer holidays or weekends—slots fill quickly.
The Bridge Bungy sits conveniently close to Herne Bay's cafés and waterfront, making it easy to combine with a morning coffee or lunch before or after your jump. It's also within reach of other central Auckland attractions like the Sky Tower, Viaduct, and waterfront walks. Most visitors tackle this in a dedicated 2–4 hour block during their Auckland stay. Spring (September–November) and autumn (March–May) offer the best weather for both activities, though it operates year-round. Summer can be crowded; quieter midweek visits often feel less pressured for nervous jumpers.
