If you’re an adrenaline-junkie, you can’t book flights to Auckland without doing the famous SkyJump from the city’s emblematic Sky Tower. At 192 metres above ground level, this thrilling plunge off the observation deck is sure to get your heart pumping! For even more excitement, you can also bungee off of the Auckland Harbour Bridge.
