Clean, clear air and green landscapes make New Zealand a nature lover’s paradise. But this calm and relaxing country has another side. New Zealand is also the extreme sports capital of the world.
Known as Kiwis, New Zealanders are famous for their relaxed lifestyle and their love of the outdoors. But they have also developed a great selection of white-knuckle activities for those seeking a bit more excitement from life.
"Bungee" (蹦极) is a word that gets the heart beating. It refers to the challenge and excitement of throwing yourself off a bridge or platform high above the ground with your legs tied to a big rubber band.
Bungee jumping originated in the South Pacific islands. There it was a coming of age ritual (仪式) for young men. Modern bungee jumps started in New Zealand in the late 1980s. It was introduced to the world by New Zealander A. J. Hackett. He performed a legendary jump from the Eiffel Tower in Paris in 1987. His jump was broadcast all over the world. As a result, bungee jumping took off in France, spread to other European countries, and has now gained popularity all over the world. The world’s first commercial bungee site was opened in Queens-town, New Zealand, in 1988.
If bungee jumping challenges your fear of heights, white water rafting (激流漂筏) gives you a thrilling, natural roller coaster (过山车) ride.
White water rafting is hugely popular in New Zealand. There are around 50 rivers used to provide this ultimate challenge. In nothing but an eight-seated rubber raft, you speed down a narrow, rocky-river. Your on board guide steers (掌舵) the raft and tells you when to paddle (划桨) .
Having enjoyed die thrill of rafting, remember to choose a fine day with clear blue skies for skydiving (跳伞). New Zealand’s dramatic natural scenery makes skydiving extra exciting. Generally, operators will give you the choice of height from 3,000, 4,000 or 5,000 meters. Free falling lasts from 30 to 45 seconds during which time you will feel the power of the air tearing at your suit. As the parachute opens the world suddenly becomes still and silent. That’s the time to relax and enjoy the view. The landing is soft but the excitement is hardcore.
