AJ Hackett Auckland Sky Jump

I finally decided to book the SkyJump after waiting for a discount, but I ended up changing it to the SkyRide instead. With the introduction of the SkyRide, SkyJump now uses the same new seated harness, so it no longer feels like a genuine jump or “leap of faith” as currently described online. The name and wording come off as a bit misleading now. Since they're so similar, SkyRide felt like a better deal to me. You spend around 90 seconds ascending outside the tower and another 20 seconds descending, whereas SkyJump is mostly just the descent part. When they cost the same, I found it hard to justify the shorter experience. I did the SkyRide twice while it was discounted and enjoyed the novelty of rising above the city. The views were great, and the drop still gave me a rush, but overall, it gave off the vibe of a bigger Fear Fall. It’s a very controlled “sit, go up, take in the views, fall, done” experience, and it felt a bit tame for the $330 price tag. For me, it’s just missing a bit of agency or challenge. I can see both the new SkyRide and SkyJump appealing more to people who want the views and freefall sensation in a controlled, seated format, especially as a tandem experience if they don’t want to fall alone. But if I were spending a similar amount again and wanted more adrenaline and challenge, I’d personally be more inclined to put it towards something like the SkyWalk/Harbour Bridge Bungy combo.

Such an amazing experience - Logan and the team at SkyWalk were so friendly and good at getting the group ready to do the walk and attempt the challenges - really would recommend to anyone who wants to get the best view of the city

I had an amazing experience at the SkyJump from the ! It was absolutely worth it—such a thrilling and unforgettable moment. What made it even more special was how friendly and supportive all the staff were. They made me feel safe, comfortable, and excited the whole time. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a fun adventure in Auckland!
