Kawarau Bridge, Queenstown
Also known as: Kawarau Suspension Bridge. Kawarau Bridge in Queenstown is a magnet for thrill-seekers, being the birthplace of commercial bungee jumping. Standing 43 meters above the Kawarau River, it offers an adrenaline-pumping leap into the void, a rite of passage for adventurers visiting New Zealand. Vloggers often capture the breathtaking views of the turquoise river and surrounding vineyards, adding to the dramatic experience. For those less inclined to jump, the bridge provides a perfect vantage point to watch others take the plunge.
