Heya, There is no correlation between diving and swinging, you can do both as much as you like whenever you like. You do not need to wait anytime before flying after swinging, only scuba diving because of the levels of nitrogen in your body.

I am doing sky diving a day before I plan to do swing...have fear of heights. ? But have done zipline as well.. would you rate it more difficult than skydive? Also is fhe videolike the one in promo.. or taken from platform
Comments
Hi Hassan. I wouldn't rate the Nevis Swing more difficult or scary than a tandem skydive. The Nevis bungy is more scary as you have to jump off yourself where as when you are on the Nevis Swing you don't have to jump as you are released by the jump master. The video you get is a personalised video of your jump plus some promo material included.

Comments
Hi Ashlee, yes the Nevis Swing operates 7 days a week all year round.
Hi, just wondering what happens if I book the swing but then the weather turns bad and it rains? Do you still go ahead or is there a reschedule/refund policy?
Comments
Hi Eden. The only thing that will cancel the Nevis swing in Queenstown is really high winds and heavy snow. If this is the case then you will be able to reschedule or receive a full refund. The swing goes ahead in rain.
Do you know what the weight limit is?
Comments
Hi Adina, the maximum weight limit for the Nevis Swing is 220kg.
Is that combined weight of two if doing a tandem?
Hi Tammy, yes that weight is the maximum weight and applies to tandem jumps as well so the combined weight must not be over 220kg.

Hi there,
Interested in doing the swing with my brother. He however also wants to do the bungy jump at 134m is there a way to combine the two even though I will not being the jump?
Comments
Hi Samantha. Yes you can. The Nevis Bungy and Swing are both at the same location in Queenstown so if your brother books the Swing & Bungy Combo and you book just the Nevis Swing at the same time then you can watch your brother do the bungy and you can swing together.
Hi
Im enquiring about tandem swing, is the price per couple or paid each to do the tandem?
Thanks
Kind Regards
Vyvian
Comments
Hi Vyvian. It is a little cheaper to do the Nevis Swing in Queenstown as a tandem swinger rather than solo. The cost to swing tandem is $160 per person or if you do it solo the cost is $180 per person. If you choose to swing tandem you do need to book for 2 people though as you can't tandem swing on your own.
For the adult tandem does the second person have to be a instructor?
Comments
Hi Tess. No, for all Nevis Swing tandems there aren't any instructors. Both jumpers are paying customers. If you are travelling on your own then you need to book a solo swing and if you are travelling with friends then you can book solo or you can choose to book tandem where you both jump side by side.
Does the $160 pay for both adults in the adult tandem jump?
Hi Tess. It costs $160 per person if you book the Nevis Swing tandem (so $320 total for the 2 of you) or $180 if you want to swing on your own.

93% of new customers that used Everything Queenstown to provide advice and securely book their Queenstown activities have let us know they've had a good or excellent experience with us. Thank you.
The Nevis Swing is located on private property, so the tour includes a pick up from central Queenstown. There is limited parking available in Queenstown, especially for motorhomes, so if you are able to organise an alternative way to travel into Queenstown that day, that would be our first recommendation. Alternatively, you could try paid parking at the Man Street Carpark, which is quite close to your check in point for the Nevis Swing.
