Taupo Swing
The 43m Taupo Swing is a formidable challenge ~ do you have what it takes?
The atmosphere from the top of the Swing is a totally surreal experience, leaving you breathless – not from just the fear of what you are about to undertake, but also the scenic beauty that surrounds you.
When you strap yourself in, you'll notice that you’re not actually on a swing at all; instead, you have the comfort and security of a full body harness. If you’re really ready to have a mind blowing adventure, then try the completely upside down swing (not for the faint of heart).
As you fly straight down, you'll get within five metres of the water surface, before you are propelled straight back up towards the sky.Minimum age 10, minimum weight 30kg.
