SKYWALK at the Sydney Tower Eye is a breathtaking outdoor experience - 268 metres above the streets of Sydney. Step out onto the clouds as you venture across the glass-floor viewing platform for unique 360 degree views over glittering Sydney as your host points out the sights below.

Skywalk will literally send you over the edge! Suspended from Sydney Tower's limits, you will get sensational 360-degree views of Sydney from 260m above street level!

Your visit will start with a safety briefing. You are then fitted with protective Skysuits and prepared for the adventure out!

Harnessed to safety rails by sliding cables, you will be escorted along purpose-built steel walkways and platforms by Skyguides, pointing out the city's geographical, historical and cultural landmarks along the way.

Now here’s for some interesting facts:

  • Sydney Tower is the 25th tallest freestanding structure in the world and the second tallest in the Southern Hemisphere
  • It boasts the highest public observation deck south of the equator, sitting 250m above land
  • Sydney Tower more than double the height of the Harbour Bridge (134m)
  • Sydney Tower is the first place in Sydney to greet the dawn each day and the last place to see the sunset
  • Sydney Tower is the same height as the Eiffel Tower
  • Visitors to the observation deck can see 55km out to sea (weather dependant) compared to someone at Bondi Beach who can see just 5km to the horizon. This means a Tower observer can see a ship approaching Sydney two hours before the person at the beach
  • Sydney Tower still sets the maximum height limit for Sydney buildings today – 279m

During your Skywalk experience you are guaranteed to have an amazing time and get spectacular views of a city that was voted the most beautiful in the world!

Also included is entry to Sydney Tower Observation Deck and Oztrek, a simulated ride which takes you on a virtual tour around Australia. 180-degree screens will see you travelling from tropical Queensland to the outback and beyond!

Please Note: If the group is already full upon arrival you may have to wait 30 - 60 minutes for the next tour depending on demand. You need to activate your voucher to be admitted.

This experience voucher is valid for 12 months from date of purchase.

    The experience was fanrastic, especially as a team building exercise, that can be done in business hours, with minimal disruption to the office. Whole thing only took 2 hrs and everyone has photos' to remember it by.

    It was such a great experience, something I wish I had done a long time ago but didn't think I needed to being a Sydney-sider myself.
