It takes about 11 seconds to reach the ground falling at about 85 kph. The ground rush is unbeatable. Participants wear a full body harness and flying suit (all provided). Unlike Bungy, there is not dangling upside down or bounding around - you simply fall ‘fast and smooth’ and then slow down to land just in the last few metres. « less

fantastic experience, don't go to Auckland and miss this. Jump off the tallest tower in New Zealand 192m leap of faith. You are attached to a cable as you free fall at 85km hour! Arrive about half hour before your jump to get suited up and do the safety talk. Then you travel to the top of the tower ready... More

Expensive but worth every penny. Absolutely no corners are cut with enough staff so that harnesses etc are checked and checked again; everything extremely carefully done. Siobhan and Felipe were the team at the top platform on the day I visited; they were great fun and very competent and reassuring. Recommended for anyone. It must be very expensive to operate... More

This was as close to a bungy as I was going to get on our trip to NZ. My 16yo son was happy to join me on this quest (teenagers... no fear!) The build-up to the jump when you are getting prepared, and then the ride up the elevator with other nervous jumpers really builds the atmosphere. All the staff... More

172 metres straight down the side of the Skytower taking 11 seconds and reaching 85kmh. Perfectly safe, landing soft but a real buzz especially when you step off the edge. Not cheap at $225 but you can find coupons to get a few dollars off and you get a free ticket for the tower itself afterwards. A must

I went to auckland for my first time and completed this jump, the staff were excellent I was hardly nervous and felt really safe. I was surprised how the feeling of falling wasn't really how I thought it would be and I didn't come as satisfied or buzzing as I had anticipated... I wouldn't go again but I it was... More

I found the staff here to be really bright ans cheerful. I did the look and leap combo, however, I had to wait an hour or so between the Sky Walk and the Sky Jump. I went up to the cafe in between for some lunch. Great views from the top! The jump was over quickly, but you get the... More

Our two twenty something daughters did this and thought it was a blast - wanted to do it again! They said it was totally different than bungy jumping and not as scary....

Really fun, regardless of the fact that it is not a bungy jump as others have complained. You're still jumping off of a building at about 600M. Staff is great. Friendly, helpful and takes the time to ensure safety. And you do feel secure while you free fall (albeit attached to a cable). Tip: It is over VERY quickly, so... More

I did it... it was a quite different experience. Although it seems quite scary but in fact, it did not. It only took a few seconds to arrive back on the ground. The Auckland scenery on the top of the tower is a breathtaking. Staff are very helpful and have a very good sense of humour. Definitely will do it... More

I love jumping off of high places, and after hearing about this one on tv I figured it was worth a shot. Booking online was fairly easy, and directions to find the place were simple enough. (Just walk towards the tallest building in Auckland.) The gear they provide is a little awkward, but you get used to it. The staff... More
