Auckland’s 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.

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.

SkyWalk, at the top of the Sky Tower, has very strict cut-off limits for wind. We also have a minimum weight restriction of 45kgs in winds over 45 km/h.

10 years old. In fact, SkyWalk is actually an awesome educational tour and Auckland activity for special interest school groups! (Please note: written parental consent is required for all people aged 10-14 years.)

SkyWalk is designed to carry a maximum weight of 130kg.

The only physical requirement for SkyWalk is the ability to reliably walk around the pergola. SkyWalk, Auckland, has created a way for people with some physical limitations to participate in a SkyWalk by using a Hand Gliding harness, where you can simply harness in and 'glide' around. Not everyone is able to do this. Contact us here at Auckland’s SkyWalk and we will be able to asses if it is right for you. You can also check out our page on Disabled Access to SkyWalk, here. People with heart problems should consult their physician.

You don’t have to bring anything with you as we provide all equipment. But we do need you to wear shoes. Loose-fitting footwear is not acceptable as we don’t want to see your jandals flying over the city or hitting innocent pedestrians!

For the health and safety of you and your unborn baby we are unable to take pregnant women on the SkyWalk.

Yes! You’re on the edge a lot longer and having to walk on your ‘jelly legs’ (but at least you don’t have to jump!). Click here to visit the Auckland SkyJump website!

From check in at Mission Control, to waving our team goodbye with a huge smile on your dial, the SkyWalk experience takes around 75 minutes. The perfect Auckland tourist attraction for those on a schedule!

This is very different to BridgeClimb and 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 though, which has been operating for about two years.

SkyWalk is open 10.00am to 4.30pm daily, plus twilight tours are available by prior arrangement.

We’re also open every day of the year (wind and weather permitting), except Christmas Day, December 25th. SkyWalk adventures depart every 20 minutes with a maximum of six SkyWalkers each trip.
