Buller Gorge Swingbridge

At 110 metres long the Buller Gorge swingbridge is an experience in itself. It is the best place to get photos of the mighty Buller River and the spectacular pink granite that lines the gorge. The 160 metre comet line spans the river adjacent to the swingbridge and is the first commercial long distance high speed flying fox in New Zealand. Challenge yourself to a flight across the river in the secure harness.

Make sure you put aside a few hours to enjoy all the activities the Buller Gorge Swingbridge has to offer including: Gold-panning - with expert tuition and the opportunity to pan for as long as you like, and Jetboat Rides operated by Buller Experience Jet from October - April. Wander around the historical site of the swing-bridge and learn about its fascinating past as a major gold mining area and the centre of the 1929 Murchison earthquake.

Quite simply this is a unique range of attractions that has something to offer for everybody and is suitable for all ages.
