Auckland Harbour Bridge Experience

The Auckland Harbour Bridge Experience offers visitors a unique opportunity to explore one of New Zealand’s most iconic engineering landmarks. Operated by AJ Hackett Bungy New Zealand, the experience includes the famous Bridge Climb and the exhilarating Auckland Bridge Bungy, allowing guests to enjoy spectacular harbour views while experiencing one of Auckland’s most memorable adventures. Situated above the sparkling Waitematā Harbour, the bridge provides an incredible perspective of the city skyline, marinas, volcanic landscapes, and surrounding waterways.

Discover an Auckland Icon

Opened in 1959, the Auckland Harbour Bridge connects Auckland’s city centre with the North Shore and is one of the country’s most important transport links. The bridge spans approximately 1,020 metres across the Waitematā Harbour and has become an instantly recognizable symbol of Auckland. Through the guided bridge experience, visitors gain access to areas normally closed to the public while learning about the bridge’s history, construction, and engineering significance.

Auckland Bridge Climb

The Bridge Climb takes participants on a guided journey along specially designed walkways beneath and above sections of the bridge structure. Unlike traditional sightseeing tours, the climb allows visitors to explore the bridge from unique vantage points while safely attached to secure safety systems. Along the route, expert guides share fascinating stories about Auckland’s history, harbour development, and the bridge’s construction.

The climb offers uninterrupted panoramic views of:

• Auckland’s city skyline

• Waitematā Harbour

• Rangitoto Island

• Westhaven Marina

• Auckland waterfront precincts

• The Hauraki Gulf

On clear days, the scenery stretches for many kilometres, creating exceptional photography opportunities.

Auckland Bridge Bungy

For thrill-seekers, the Auckland Bridge Bungy offers an unforgettable leap from the bridge itself. Jumpers plunge approximately 40 metres toward the harbour below while securely attached to professional bungy equipment. One of the most unique aspects of this experience is the option to touch the water during the jump, creating an even more exciting adventure. As New Zealand’s only ocean-touch bungy experience, it remains a favourite among adrenaline enthusiasts.

Engineering and Cultural Insights

Beyond the adventure, the experience provides valuable insights into the bridge’s engineering design and its role in Auckland’s growth. Visitors learn about the challenges faced during construction, the addition of the bridge’s distinctive clip-on lanes, and the importance of the harbour crossing to Auckland’s economy and daily life.

Safety and Professional Guidance

All experiences are operated by highly trained AJ Hackett staff and follow strict international safety standards. Participants receive detailed safety briefings and are equipped with professional harnesses and safety gear.
