Sky Jump – NZ’s Highest Jump
Jumpstart your Kiwi adventure by leaping from Auckland's spectacular Sky Tower - the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere! Fall at approx 75kph for around 16 seconds before slowing in the last few metres to land gently. Ground rush is unbeatable. Unlike bungy - there is no hanging upside down or bouncing around...You simply fall fast & smooth.... for 192m! Jumpers wear a "flying suit" and full body harness. They are then clipped to the jump cable by professional Jumpmasters and simply "step off"! The cable drum rotates as the cable feeds out, causing air resistance against fan blades on the end of the drum. This means Jumpers are effectively riding on a cushion of air. Jumpers fall very quickly until near the ground then decelerate to a safe landing speed.

Auckland’s Dolphin & Whale Safari
Departs: Daily at 11am, weather permitting, and returns at approximately 4pm.
Operate every day except Christmas Day.
On Auckland's Dolphin & Whale SafariTM you will experience the Gulf from the comfort of a luxury 20 meter Powercat. This is a high speed vessel designed specifically for the water conditions of the Hauraki Gulf. It has large saloons and decks on two levels which provide great viewing areas and maximum passenger comfort. A light lunch is served during the journey. We encounter marine mammals on well over 90% of our safaris. Our skilled crew has over 20 years combined experience finding & interacting with dolphins & whales. Every safari is different. Most days we find Common dolphins; we can see just a few or many hundreds of them. We see Bryde's whales throughout the year - often in winter, less frequently through the summer months. If we're lucky we see these majestic whales lunge-feeding through large schools of fish. Other species seen through the year are Bottlenose dolphins and Orca (Killer whales).
