The Taupō Swing is more than just a giant swing - it's a feet-first, freefalling rush over the mighty Waikato River, offered from the same dramatic cliff-top site as Taupō's iconic Bungy Jump. Swinging out at speeds of up to 70kph, participants soar and swoop through the air over the river, with the choice of a countdown or a surprise release to ramp up the anticipation. It's the North Island's only cliff-face drop of its kind, giving riders all the thrill of freefall as a feet-first alternative to bungy jumping. Choose to swing solo or tandem with a friend, and take in sweeping views over the Waikato River from high above—an unforgettable adventure whether it's a standalone experience or the perfect pairing with a Taupō Bungy Jump.

What to expect
Go it alone or bring a friend along for a tandem swing—either way, you'll get sweeping views over the Waikato River and the surrounding Taupō landscape from a vantage point most visitors never see. Choose whether you want a countdown or a surprise release for that extra jolt of anticipation, and don't worry about capturing the moment—photos and video of your swing are included, so you can relive the experience and instantly post to socials.
