Kawarau Gorge Suspension Bridge

Beautiful spot and definitely worth stopping by! The bridge is historic and incredibly scenic, with amazing views of the turquoise river running through the gorge. Even if you’re not doing the AJ Hackett bungy, it’s fun watching others take the jump — the energy and atmosphere are great. The walkway is easy, the area is well maintained, and it's a perfect quick stop for photos. Parking was simple and everything is clearly signposted. You don’t need a ton of time here, but it’s a memorable stop along the drive from Queenstown toward Arrowtown or Gibbston. Highly recommend making a quick detour — stunning views and a cool piece of history in one place!

Visited here during the week. We managed to get a parking although there wasn't much available. Its free and conveniently located. We watched a few people bunjy jump off the bridge and do the swing. There's some information about the bridge and the history. You can get drinks and some food inside and buy tickets for the different activities. Highly recommend, even if just to watch.

This is worth visiting to see brave souls doing the bungy jumps and the other adrenaline pumping activities, as well as the bridge. Nice walking across the bridge... Lots of history with the bridge. Many cyclists use this area too for their cycling. Great place to visit.

Visited on a Thursday afternoon unfortunately we didn't catch any bungy jumpers but the view is very nice. Have an accessible parking. Very old and historic bridge

If you are visiting the bridge, its free! Great views over the river and lots to read if you are keen on New Zealand's Gold Rush! Impressive structure that is still standing! Quick pit stoo if you are driving up to Cromwell or visiting the wineries in the surrounding area of Gibbston.

Great views. Well organised. Good atmosphere.

The bridge itself is a nice short walk across the Kawarau river. You can get breathtakingly beautiful views of the river and catch a show of those who are brave enough to do a bungee jump from the bridge 😬 Just be super careful on the other-side of the bridge close to the edge. There is NO barrier at all. Please if you have children make sure you hold them all the time. Monday freaking edge even for an adult. But you can safely enjoy the views of the river from the viewing deck without even having to cross the bridge.

Stop by to see the bridge, and found this place with bungee, slink, slide, etc… Only 15 minutes from Queenstown.
