    Sky Walk

    The Sky Tower offers an ever-expanding selection of pant-wetting activities. If you thought the observation deck was for pussies, Sky Walk involves circling the 192m-high, 1.2m-wide outside halo of the Sky Tower without rails or a balcony – but with a safety harness (they’re not completely crazy).

    Sky Jump

    Sky Jump is an 11-second, 85km/h base wire jump from the observation deck of Sky Tower. It’s more like a parachute jump than a bungy and it’s a rush and a half.
