The Sky Tower dominates the Auckland skyline. Only a few blocks from the waterfront is this tower which offers excellent 360 degree views over the city. The elevator ride up has a partially glassed floor making for an eerie ascent. There are two observation decks which provide the full circuit of the city and the harbour. There is also a... more

I love the towers in various cities and the views from them. This one is especially good. I didn't feel that spring the extra money for the couple of more floors was necessary. more

Wearing the fetching overall they supply (and I hasten to add, harness) and standing on the edge of a 192m drop is not an experience I’ll forget in a hurry. Suffice to say that looking down is just a little scary. I jumped the second time the guy on the platform gave the countdown and after a couple of seconds,... more

We've just returned from a fantastic tour of New Zealand and Auckland was the last place we visited and definitely one of the highlights of our holiday. We dined in the The Sky Tower's revolving restaurant, the food was brilliant and the views were fantastic. more

Went to Sky Tower on Day 1 in NZ view was nice and it was easy to find (walk in the direction of the tower). Gives you a nice view of the city, sailboats, parks, etc. Nice giftshop and informational video in the basement. And a lady standing in the waiting area gave us a free ticket, bonus! more

What a view, the Sky Tower is definately a must see when you are in Auckland. The view of the city and the harbour is just superb. If you are brave enough there is a clear glass floor you can stand on where you can look straight down to the streets below. I wasn't ! more

I just recently took my vacation of a lifetime in May, to see New Zealand. My favorite country so far. I went up the Sky tower. It has a few restaurants up there and a great view of the city. I liked it better than the tower in Sydney. Also you can bungee jump from the tower, which for me,... more

Would definitely recommend this place as a good overview of the greater Auckland area. Centrally located and easily reached by foot or bus if you're staying further way. There are great views of many of the volcanic cones in the area... including great views of Devonport and Rangitoto behind it. Would definitely recommend springing for the extra $3 NZD to... more

My wife and I had dinner here the first night we got in from L.A. Spectaular views and amazing food. The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was relaxing. A must for those looking for a romantic dinner that won't cost you an arm and a leg. more
