Although Auckland SkyJump is operated by an experienced bungy adventure team, it is different from a traditional bungy jump. Instead of freefalling and bouncing at the end of a cord, you’ll make a controlled descent from the Sky Tower using a wire system.
This makes SkyJump a unique alternative for anyone looking for an adrenaline rush without the freefall and rebound associated with bungy jumping. The descent gives you a different perspective of Auckland as you travel towards the city below.
