See Auckland from the pergola of the Skytower... with no handrails. The Skywalk takes you beyond the realm of the window cleaners, onto the 1.2m wide ledge of the Skytower with a 192m fall on either side. Do you dare?
The basic idea is to walk onto the pergola on the east side of the SkyJump platform and traverse the 360 degrees of the ring stopping at several points for interpretation including Auckland history, landmarks and of course a smattering of old fashioned Kiwi humour to provide local flavour and help steady the nerves!
The Skywalk offers a high level of safety as each walker has two safety tethers from their harness up to the overhead rail. One is a climbing rope designed as a fail-safe.
The other is a “seatbelt type” retraction system that allows the tether to be adjusted to the individual’s height. This means that if you do step off the pergola you simply swing back like a pendulum.These work together to offer the maximum safety while providing the greatest adrenalin rush.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What if the wind is strong? A: We have very strict cut-off limits for wind. We also have a minimum weight restriction of 45kgs in winds over 45 km/h.
Q: What happens if I freeze up or freak out up there? A: No worries! Our team will show you exactly what to do on the day– but basically, you just ‘sit’ back into your harness and your guide will quickly wheel you back to safety.
Q: How safe is the skywalk? A: SkyWalk has been independently approved by a certified engineer and very rigorous safety standards are upheld. SkyWalk is an adventure activity with a very low real risk but very high perceived risk. Each ‘SkyWalker’ has two safety tethers from their harness, up to the overhead rail. One safely tether is a climbing rope designed as a failsafe. The other tether is a seatbelt-type retraction system that allows the tether to be adjusted to your individual height. This means that if you do step off the pergola, you simply swing back like a pendulum.
Q: Could I drop something over the side accidently? A: No chance! During your SkyWalk experience, you wear a coverall type suit that prevents objects from being released. We also check you for objects like coins etc during the gear-up process to ensure you don't carry any loose items.
Q: Are there any other similar operations around New Zealand.? A: No, we are the only ones in New Zealand and pretty much around the world. This is very different to a Bridge Climb or for example the SkyWalk in Sydney – they have handrails and so do not have anything like the same feeling of danger and exposure! It is similar to SkyWalk in Macau and that’s about it.
