Bungy Jump & Giant Swing Combo in Skypark Cairns Australia
If you’re craving an adrenaline rush with a side of jaw-dropping scenery, the Bungy Jump & Giant Swing Combo at Cairns’ Skypark ticks all the boxes. For around $223, you get about an hour of pure excitement, with the option of pickup and a mobile ticket making the booking hassle-free. The Skypark, located in the lush rainforest of Tropical North Queensland, is home to Australia’s only bungy, giant swing, and the highest viewing platform in Cairns. That makes it a pretty unique spot for thrill-seekers and sightseers alike.
What we love most about this combo is the combination of beyond-epic views and the variety of activities — whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned thrill junkie, there’s something here for everyone. The staff are praised for their professionalism and friendliness, making you feel supported whether you’re dangling above a lagoon or flying through the air at 120 km/h.

Also, since the experience is capped at 100 travelers, it’s generally well-managed, but planning ahead is wise, especially during peak times.

A Deep Dive into the Skypark Experience
Location and Setting
Nestled in the heart of Cairns’ rainforest, Skypark Cairns offers a setting that’s hard to beat. Imagine teetering 50 meters above a shimmering lagoon surrounded by lush green foliage — that’s where the real magic happens. The park’s vantage point is not just about height but the breathtaking views of the surrounding rainforest and the natural landscape. It’s a perfect backdrop for those seeking more than just a thrill; it’s an opportunity to soak in some of the most beautiful scenery Queensland has to offer.
The Activities
The AJ Hackett Bungy Jump is the flagship activity here, and it’s Australia’s only bungy with 16 jump styles tailored to different experience levels. Whether you’re taking your first leap or a repeat jumper, the support staff will push your limits in a safe and encouraging way. We loved the detailed safety briefings and the friendly, professional staff — especially Kelly, who was praised for interacting well with children and making everyone feel comfortable.
The Giant Swing — Australia’s only multi-person swing — elevates the experience by adding extreme speed up to 120 km/h and accelerations that will make your stomach flip. Created to accommodate 1, 2, or 3 people simultaneously, it’s perfect for friends or family wanting to share the thrill. The swing is set on the same platform, so you get a seamless transition from jumping to swinging.
What makes this stand out?
One of the highlights is the stunning views during both activities. The scenery isn’t just a backdrop but a core part of the thrill — soaring above the rainforest canopy or plunging toward the lagoon feels even more intense with such a picturesque setting. Reviewers frequently mention how they appreciated the professional staff and the magnificent location. Kelly’s comment about the staff’s interaction with children also hints at how welcoming and supportive the environment is, making this accessible for family members of many ages.
Practical Details
The tour includes pickup options, which helps if you’re staying nearby or prefer not to navigate public transport. The mobile ticket system simplifies logistics, allowing travelers to show their tickets easily.
The activity lasts roughly an hour, which makes it easy to fit into a day full of other Cairns adventures. It’s suitable for most travelers, but we advise disclosing any medical conditions beforehand, as safety and comfort are priorities here.
Pricing and Value
At $223.42 per person, this experience is a solid value considering the unique thrill of Australia’s only bungy and giant swing. When balanced against the cost of similar adrenaline activities, it offers a lot of bang for your buck — especially given the stunning views and professional support. The fact that it’s booked on average 14 days in advance suggests it’s popular, so planning ahead pays off.
The Reviews
The overwhelmingly positive reviews (average rating of 4.8 out of 5 from 11 visitors) highlight consistent themes: friendly staff, magnificent location, and unforgettable experiences. Kelly’s review specifically mentions the staff interacting professionally with children, making it a family-friendly option. Kai’s review notes some technical issues with recording but still emphasizes how supportive staff were, reflecting the overall positive environment.
Potential Drawbacks
While most travelers praise the experience, one thing to keep in mind is the short duration. If you’re looking for a full-day adventure, you might want to combine this with other activities around Cairns. Also, the height restriction isn’t specified explicitly, but most travelers seem to find it suitable.
