The World's Largest Network Of High Adrenaline Adventure Attractions

From New Zealand to Australia, China, Russia, France, Germany and Singapore. Having invented the world’s first commercial Bungy Jump in New Zealand, the international network of AJ Hackett branded Bungy Jump, Swing and Zipride attractions continues to grow. And just like having the world’s most famous Swing, and the world’s first human Catapult, the innovations and world records keep on coming. Some years ago the original founders of AJ Hackett Bungy New Zealand, Henry Van Asch and AJ Hackett, separated their business interests but maintained their close relationship through a brand sharing agreement. Henry’s company AJ Hackett Bungy New Zealand, the parent of Bungy New Zealand Ventures, operates all sites in New Zealand. Current international sites are operated by AJ’s company AJ Hackett International.

New Zealand

In New Zealand there have been over five million participants across our products: delivered with a 100% safety record. Over the past 35 years we have pioneered multiple adventure tourism activities, including: Bungy Jump, Swing, Walk, Climb, Catapult and Zipride.

A small selection of our New Zealand projects is listed below.

Over the years we have led the industry in inventing mechanical devices and technologies that enhance excitement and safety.
