It's Summer Somewhere: Skywalk and SkyJump in Auckland
Heading down for the Big Day Out concert series isn't the only reason to check out Auckland this (southern) summer. There's also a new attraction that can give you a rapid heartbeat and some fantastic views over the city of Auckland.
The recently-opened Skywalk 360 is a special-suit-and-harness walk around the pergola of Auckland's Sky Tower, all at a height of about 630 feet. You can circumnavigate the tower, with pauses for tips on the sights of Auckland you're trying not to look down at.
Extra brave souls can add the SkyJump, departing from a platform on the Skywalk. You'll fall fast for 11 seconds before being slowed up at the end, but you won't endure the freaky bounce of a bungee jump. This is the gentle way to insanely throw yourself at the ground.
