AJ Hackett runs three top-notch bungy jumping locations in Queenstown, which span from the historic Kawarau Bridge Bungy — the birthplace of bungy jumping standing at 43 metres (141 feet) — to the towering Nevis Highwire Bungy. With an intimidating height of 143 metres (440 feet), the latter ranks among the highest bungy jumps globally.

Discover the history of the Capuchin order - and have a somehow morbid experience - while paying a visit to this venue, where you will get the chance to see the Capuchin monastery’s crypt! Here, mummified bodies of 150 monks are displayed and preserved naturally since 1784 in the dry atmosphere (visitors will also notice that many were buried with their boots on).

The Australian Seabird Rescue, Research, Rehabilitation and Coastal Education Centre in Ballina offers a comprehensive educational experience for people of all ages. Participants experience first hand the issues in their local environment. The interactive, hands on approach gives everyone an unforgettable experience that they can take home and share with others. All presentations include a one hour informative talk by one of their trained volunteers, as well as a chance to see wildlife that may be in their care. Animals that you may get the opportunity to get a close-up look at may include pelicans, other sea birds, shore birds, and even the fascinating and endangered sea turtles.

To the west of Aviles stretches the Costa Verde, a long stretch of rugged cliffs, sandy bays and deep river estuaries.

Further west, Luarca is another tranquil and attractive fishing port.
