Sky Tower, Auckland

My husband and I stayed three nights at sky tower in Auckland, New Zealand in 2005. The Sky Tower is 328 metres and the tallest building in the southern hemisphere. The hotel is huge but all the staff were very friendly, when I needed to contact my family by emails and was unable to get the hang of the computer, a young lad from the front desk came to help me do it.

I live in NZ and i've been to the sky tower countless times and i never get tired of it. you get a beautiful view of auckland city, you can dine in the rotating resteraunt and get a full view of everything surrounding the tower. you can choose to bungy jump of the tower or take a picture where they make it LOOK like you are bungy jumping off. there are a wide range of souvenirs you can buy and the tower itself is beautiful and truly worth seeing. there is casino and a bar. at the top there are glass floors you can stand on so that you can see everything beneath you (some people are too scared ... more

If you are thinking of going to Auckland then visiting the Sky Tower is a must do! It is not that expensive to go up and once you are up the tower the views are amazing.

If you are the dare-devil type then you can do the sky jump, by leaping of the tower and falling 192m with a 16 second free fall, and reaching ... more

We visited the Sky Tower to gain a different view of Auckland and were rewarded with an awesome view.We took lots of photos all the way round and planned where to go during our stay in the city. It was nice to see where we'd been over in Devon port earlier that day and the bridge looked great from up high . You can walk all the way round and even walk over glass panels in the flooring!

A must visit if you are in Auckland, but do go on a fine day!!!! ... more
