Bungee Jumping’s Bold Leap Into Its Next 25 Years

Adventure tourism operator AJ Hackett Bungy is celebrating 25 years with a month-long program of events, promotions and competitions. The anniversary activities begin on October 18 and build toward a gala celebration on November 13.

Since its founding, more than three million people have taken the leap at AJ Hackett Bungy locations worldwide. Celebrity jumpers among them include Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Jack Black and Tiger Woods.

“For 25 years AJ Hackett Bungy has encouraged people to step outside their comfort zone,” said Henry van Asch, co‑founder and director of AJ Hackett. “We balance the perceived thrill of jumping, swinging and zipping from great heights with rigorous safety standards. Bungy remains an iconic adventure activity, and we look forward to welcoming visitors for many years to come.”

Based in New Zealand, AJ Hackett Bungy operates bungee jumping and related adventure experiences at sites across the globe, offering a combination of adrenaline, scenery and professional safety practices.
