The 43 meter Bungy is the most popular bungy site. Experience the rush with a mate, go solo or take it to the next level with a water touch or get fully dunked! AJ Hackett

 Go Extreme: Cardrona Ski

For those taking their first steps into the wonderful world of skiing and boarding, Cardrona is an ideal place to start. One of the best beginner areas around that has a dedicated space with wide, gentle slopes will get you going in no time.

If you're already at the intermediate stage then the wide, open slopes will get you cruising along nicely. You’ll also be able to find some fantastic longer runs and a large number of pistes (marked ski runs) that are ideal for the intermediate level.

Pow-seeking boarder or skier and more interested in exploring the back-country? Though Cardrona may not be as well known for its advanced level terrain or deep powder you’ll still find a whole lot of fun off-piste to explore. Top picks for expert level riders looking for some decent off-piste: Arcadia Chutes, you’ll find steep lines and terrain littered with large rocks. Tulip Chutes and the off-piste from the Captain’s Express chairlift are great if you’re looking for varied slopes and can have some nice pockets of powder if you hit them at the right time.
