Overview
The Ledge Bungy is an urban bungy experience located at the top of the Skyline Gondola on Bob's Peak, 400 metres above Queenstown. Unlike traditional bridge bungys, jumpers leap freestyle from a cantilevered platform over the town.
Highlights
- Freestyle Jump: Unlike traditional bungy, the Ledge allows full-body acrobatic jumps — flips, twists, and dives are all encouraged.
- Night Jumps: One of the only bungy experiences in the world available after dark, with Queenstown's lights glittering below.
- Town Views: The platform overlooks the entire town, lake, and surrounding mountains.
History
Opened by AJ Hackett in 1997 as a more accessible alternative to the Kawarau Bridge, the Ledge was designed to bring bungy directly to Queenstown's doorstep. The 47-metre jump is considered less intimidating than other bungy sites.
Visitor Tips
- Gondola Included: The bungy ticket includes the Skyline Gondola ride to the top.
