Auckland SkyRide

SkyRide takes you 192m above Auckland, giving you an elevated perspective of the city and surrounding landscape. The ride then takes you back down the Sky Tower in one exhilarating descent, combining height, speed and panoramic views.

The 192m height is equivalent to the Sky Tower’s observation level, around 53 floors above the ground. This makes SkyRide a unique way to experience Auckland’s skyline from above while enjoying an adrenaline-filled ride.

SkyRide offers a middle ground between sightseeing and more intense adrenaline activities, making it an option for people who want an exciting experience without stepping off a platform for a traditional jump. It is suitable for groups with different comfort levels and those who may not be ready for a bungy or SkyJump.

The experience is also fully supported by an experienced adventure crew and uses a controlled ride system throughout. Participants must be at least 10 years old, while children aged 14 and under require an adult to sign consent at check-in.

Yes, SkyRide can be experienced either solo or as a tandem ride. This makes it particularly appealing for friends, couples and family groups who want to experience the thrill together rather than taking on a solo adventure.

For tandem rides, participants must have a combined weight of no more than 235kg, with no more than 100kg difference between their individual weights. Each participant must still meet the individual 35kg to 150kg weight requirement.

SkyRide is designed as a more accessible introduction to high-adrenaline adventure, making it ideal for those who want excitement without taking a traditional leap. Instead of jumping headfirst from a platform, you are lifted into position before enjoying a controlled descent.

It is also a great choice for groups where everyone has different levels of bravery. Whether you're a first-time thrill-seeker, travelling with family or gradually working up to a bungy, SkyRide offers a fun way to experience the rush.

You don't need specialised adventure clothing for SkyRide, but comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely is recommended. Closed-toe shoes are required, and bringing an extra layer is a good idea as conditions can change quickly at height.

Avoid wearing loose accessories or anything that could become a distraction during the ride. Comfortable clothing is particularly useful as you'll want to feel relaxed while taking in the views, enjoying the descent and capturing those memorable moments.
