If there’s one way to level up your backpacking trip, it’s by throwing yourself off a ledge with nothing but a bungy cord to catch you. Bungy jumping is the ultimate “what the hell am I doing?” moment that quickly turns into “holy sh*t, that was insane!” – and honestly, there’s no feeling like it. Whether you're doing it to conquer fear, chase the thrill, or just to say you did something mad, this is one memory you’ll never shut up about.

With 1 Life Travels, you’ve got two epic places to take the plunge. In Queenstown, New Zealand – the adventure capital of the world – you’ll jump with the crew at AJ Hackett, the legends who literally invented commercial bungy. This is the birthplace of big jumps, big views, and even bigger bragging rights. Or, head to tropical Cairns, Australia, where AJ Hackett has built a jungle tower that lets you launch into the rainforest, with an optional water touch if you're feeling bold. Either way, it’s you versus gravity – and we’re backing you to win.
