Auckland SkyJump

The Auckland SkyJump is one of New Zealand’s most unique urban adventure experiences, allowing visitors to leap from the iconic Sky Tower in the heart of Auckland. Operated by AJ Hackett Bungy New Zealand, the experience combines the thrill of a bungy jump with the controlled descent technology of a base jump, making it accessible to a wide range of adventure seekers. Rather than a traditional rebound-style bungy, participants descend in a controlled manner from a remarkable height above the city. (bungy.co.nz)

A Leap from New Zealand’s Tallest Building

The jump begins 192 metres (629 feet) above the ground from the Sky Tower, New Zealand’s tallest building. Participants step off a specially designed platform and descend 53 floors toward SkyCity Plaza below. During the descent, jumpers can reach speeds of approximately 85 km/h, creating an exhilarating rush while remaining securely controlled throughout the experience. (bungy.co.nz)

An Urban Adventure Like No Other

Unlike many adventure activities set in remote wilderness areas, SkyJump takes place in the middle of Auckland’s bustling city centre. As participants prepare to jump, they are surrounded by panoramic views of Auckland’s skyline, harbours, volcanic cones, and surrounding islands. The contrast between a modern cityscape and an extreme adventure creates a truly distinctive experience that cannot be found elsewhere in New Zealand. (bungy.co.nz)

Safe and Professionally Operated

AJ Hackett Bungy has been operating adventure activities since 1988 and is regarded as one of the pioneers of commercial bungy jumping worldwide. The SkyJump utilizes a controlled cable-descent system specifically designed for high-structure jumps. All participants receive a comprehensive safety briefing, are fitted with specialized equipment, and are supervised by experienced staff throughout the activity. (bungy.co.nz)

What to Expect

The entire experience generally takes around 45 minutes, including check-in, safety procedures, preparation, and the jump itself. Participants are provided with a distinctive jump suit, and professional photos and videos can be purchased to capture the experience. Friends and family can watch from designated viewing areas, adding to the excitement and atmosphere. (bungy.co.nz)
