Giant Swing Skypark Cairns by AJ Hackett

Skypark Cairns giant swing review

Awesome experience! What an adrenaline shot! Aaron was amazing the whole way through, what a beauty. Dakota was super friendly and helpful. Definitely will recommend Skypark Cairns.

Awesome

I don't normally attempt any thrill seeking activities as I'm a chicken but this was absolutely amazing, best part was doing it pairs, I wouldn't have done it on my own. Bodie was an amazing instructor, great viewing and amenities, highly recommend

Cairns Quick Trip

Both Hubby and I got of our comfort zone and pushed ourselves to do something a little different and was blown away by the swing. Do it 😍

Lots of fun at Skypark

The swing was exhilarating and heaps of fun. Staff were friendly and clearly very safety conscious. Nice watching space for families that is well shaded.

Cairns Jungle Swing

The swing was such a great unique experience. My partner is afraid of heights but found the courage to do it with me as we could swing together. We both loved it! Awesome little thrill

A BLAST!!!

Didn’t expect such fun! Definitely an adrenaline rush which we were looking forward to. Clear instructions, exciting atmosphere and knowledgeable staff. Very friendly and loved every step of it and to purchasing our videos. Definitely recommend ❤️

Do it

Skypark Rocks 🎸 Thanks for an awesome, scary experience. It was a birthday experience for my partner and it's going to be hard to top it for her birthday next year

Was worth the wait >w<

One of our best experiences during our stay in Cairns. It was a rocky start, but they made up for it, quite extensively at that. The staff were friendly and I applaud their patience and encouragement. It was a small but beautiful area. Worth spending a day with them if you like the kinds of activity they offer. Again, this isn't for everyone, but definitely worth a try if you are up for it.

Get your Adrenaline Rush!

This is a fun way to spend a couple of hours in Cairns and it's the only bungy in Australia! I did the bungy first then the swing after. When you arrive, you fill in some forms and get weighed. The crew are really good at making you feel comfortable at the top of the bungy and you can choose if you want to get dunked or not. The swing was also lots of fun and felt more relaxing compared to the bungy! You can also get some drinks and nibbles and there are lockers so there is everything you need! Complimentary return pick-ups as well are offered if you don't have your own transport.

BUCKET LIST EXPERIENCE

What an absolutely amazing facility with incredible and welcoming staff. It’s such an amazing experience and something you just have to do scared. I will never forget this experience and if I’m ever back this way, I’m coming for more! Would just like to say a special thanks to Jay who was unbelievably patient and kind with my friend who was nervous to jump. He went above and beyond and got her off that ledge!

Big rush

Great thing to do in a lovely rainforest setting. The staff are super organised and really friendly. They try and make you feel comfortable, even though I felt like throwing up in anticipation and nearly chickened out. Staring at the ocean was the best advice. The videos are pretty good value and the courtesy pick up was really helpful. Big adrenaline rush that you can't describe. Recommend the water dunk.

YOU HAVE TO DO THIS!!!

One of the best experiences I’ve ever had!!! Bungee jumping has been on my bucket list for the longest time and I’m so happy that I’ve ticked it off 🙌🏻 the staff were so friendly and made you feel at ease. Not once did I feel unsafe. The views were spectacular and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I also did the swing and that was awesome! It goes way faster then I thought but definitely a must when you book in a bungee jump. Highly recommend purchasing videos and/or photos for both experiences ☺️

Amazing Experience

We had the most wonderful experience at the Skypark. We did both the Bungee jump and Giant Rope Swing and all the staff were amazing and so comforting when we were up on the Bungee. The Two guys (I cant remember their names) were incredible at making everyone feel safe and at ease!

fast and furious

Giant Swing - exhilarating - took granddaughter - once over initial fear (and attendant was really patient and considerate) we had a real rush

Nice adrenalin pitstop.

Flew through the air with the greatest of,,, cables. Great way to get a quick adrenalin rush, a giant swing. Had the pleasure of this experience with my daughter, her first adrenalin activity. Friendly and helpful staff, very safety conscious, and knowledgeable. Only thing needed was a multi level viewing platform, but that's nitpicking.

First Bungy!

This was so much fun! 10/10 would do it again. If you're in the area highly recommend going for a quick bungy jump. The staff were very nice and it was a fun place to hang out for a bit after jumping. We went on a gloomy day and still had a great time.

Awesome

Hi Guys, This is a must to visit. Phoebe was excellent organising my trip and Amy was awesome in the pick up bus. A great day in all. Will be back Cheers Craig

Great experiences with poor customer service

The experience at the skypark was great! The folks there are friendly, and easy to chat with while waiting for your experience(s) to take place. However, they are a little disorganized, and you have to take some initiative to get to your experiences; they are not tracking whether or not you are actually there at the right time, or if you've done all that you've paid for. Also, they were running a bit behind schedule on the day I was there, so things seemed to take a long time. But other than that, the experience was good, and I enjoyed getting to drop out of the sky a couple times.

Leave fear behind and transform into your courageous self. How bad do you want it.

So you're THINKING about taking the leap out of comfort and into self-growth. So, its time.... I find myself standing on the plank. Looking straight ahead toward the ocean view, it's beautiful. I take what could potentially be my last breath, and set my intention. It was time to let go. Let go of fear, let go of some weight I've been carrying. Turning back now did not cross my mind. I had made my choice. I'm starting a new chapter, and it starts right now. The instructor counted down, and on cue, I leapt off the plank. With my life flashing before my eyes as I plummeted 50m headfirst toward the water below, I let out an extended scream saying goodbye within myself to the old version of who I was. And then within a blink of an eye .. SPLASH! It was done, EASY! I did it and I feel alive! I am now a new version of myself. A version that has taken the leap, rather than just fantasizing about the idea of it. I let go of fear and trusted in the process. (and this establishment) It takes courage to jump to what could potentially be your death, but I felt I was in safe hands, the odds were in my Favour, many people are doing it every day. When you jump (and you survive), you are now a new version of yourself, a version that has taken a huge courageous leap, feeling alive and more resilient to the discomfort that life inevitably throws our way from time to time. This discomfort makes trivial discomfort seem like nothing. Much like enduring extreme cold, but instead of a prolonged suffering, it's literally just a decision to jump and then it's over. I felt a great sense of achievement after jumping at AJ Hackett SkyPark. I've jumped out of airplanes with an instructor strapped to my back but on that plank it's different. No instructor edging you out the door holding your hand. It's just you and your decision to jump. So in my opinion it's tougher to do then a skydive, as that's kind of done for you. If you found my review helpful, in the sense you could extract value from my words, mark it as helpful :) Thank you. If you are interested in seeing my jump you can also view my short trip to cairns including the accompanying footage of my bungee jump by just searching 'Tyler Martin visiting cairns' on youtbe Take care, but have courage.

Wonderful first bungy jump experience!

The good experience started before we even arrived. The online website didn’t let me book the 7 adults I wanted to. Called them and they immediately increased the limit which allowed me to book everyone in at once. As someone who went there anxious and unsure if I’d commit to the bungy jump. The team were confident and seemed experienced, that was reassuring for someone freaking out about the jump. It was thrilling jumping and I’m glad I did it! The free bungy shirt was a bonus. The camera system seem to be having issues. However we all ended up with our footage at the end, and it wasn’t too bad of a wait. Would recommend any thill seekers or people who just want to try a bungy to give this place a go!

Make this a must on your trip!

Absolutely amazing experience. So well run. Free transfers from Palm Cove made it so easy for us to get there and back. My husband and 12yr old daughter jumped and the staff are so good at encouraging the jumpers and making them feel safe. For us spectators,the spots to watch are awesome! Well done guys,we’ll be back!

Awesome experience

The swing was awesome,the staff are so friendly if in cairns this is a must👍myself and my 2teenage daughters did the swing and hubby did the Bungy jump 👍

exhilarating

It was awesome highly recommend doing it. I would totally do it again. The staff were excellent.🤘🤘

Poor management

Randomly closed park on day i had jump booked. Still trying to organise refund but getting no reply from TripAdvisor or viator.

So much fun!

I am 58 and scared of heights and to get out of my comfort zone I did the giant swing with my husband. Screamed all the way but loved it! The staff were fun and encouraging. We also enjoyed hanging around after and watching other people do the bungee and giant swing while listening to the live music 👍

Amazing

Absolutely amazing the staff are the best so friendly and encouraging highly recommend this experience the best thing I have done

So muh fun!!!

Thrilling,exciting well organised. Crew are very good at what tbey do. Every single persin was upbeat, fun and there good humour added to a very enjoyable experience.

5 ⭐️

Most amazing and thrilling experience must try if u visiting cairns . And very friendly and lovely staff

Heights heights heights!!!

This was so much fun!! My partner and I did the giant swing - that was so much fun! The bungee is a whole different story. So much fun and the guys rigging it up are both playful and reassuring! The stairs up are the WORST part of the experience!

Good time

Staff are a bunch legends, good time all round. This review requires more characters so I typed this

I’ve done different trips in cairns and this is the worst one.

1, we booked the tour through website first, but it didn’t work. Then we called the reception in the morning to make another book, but they charged us twice. We got refund after we called them it’s overcharged. And the photo package is too pricy as the quality is very low. What’s more, we’ve got some photos without us in the photos.

Best thing we have done as a family

What an amazing experience. We planned to do the Bungee swing as a family which was one of the best things I think we have done together. We purchased the video & pics which was hilarious to watch back - well worth the investment. Whilst the experience itself was awesome & all through the customer service was excellent I have to take time for a special mention on behalf of our daughter Oli. She decided to do a Bungee Jump after the swing & having already completed a sky dive I wasn't too nervous for her more excited that she was going to have the opportunity. Once we made it to the top of the climb her nerves hit & it seemed she wasn't going to be able to jump. But OMG the two guys running the Bungee were absolutely top notch. So encouraging & supportive. They did all they could to help allay her sudden nerves. Going above & beyond they found Oli one of the other female staff members to do a tandem jump with her. Nerves gone, the best day of her life so far experienced & she can't wait to do her next jump. I would recommend this to anyone, it truly was one of the best things we have done as a family.

You'll never wish to didn't just do that

I was happy to spectate my brothers jump yet somehow the staff used their persuasion to give it a whirl. I anticipated it would take the workers at least 30mins to take the leap yet somehow it only took minutes. Thanks for the confidence and your encourgaing nature.

First bungy (and swing)

popped out to Skypark on Monday to take advantage of a promo after obtaining a "holiday voucher" at Cairns airport. A friendly English gent came and picked me up to take me out there (after some confusion where it was thought I didnt require a transfer). I consider myself somewhat of a thrillseeker (my first plane ride was a skydive), and just had to experience this. I did the Giant Swing first, and wow, what a fun experience. The slow lift up, pulling on the cord to release you, then, whoooooosh, off you go soaring over the building and to the trees. Great fun. Next up, the giant climb to the top of the tower for my first ever bungy. The guys at the top strapping me up and getting me ready for my jump were friendly and professional. Make sure you take a moment to take in the great scenery up there. I'm not gonna lie, I was packing it with my toes on that ledge, but on the fall, I had the time of my life. This was a little treat to myself to celebrate turning 40 the week before. If you've ever thought you might want to bungy, make sure you head along when in Cairns - you wont regret it!

Great Staff

Staff were so friendly. Loved their fun attitudes. Also nice to know that they all regularly bungy and use the giant swing, so they know what they’re talking about.

10/10

We walked in and were greeted by the lovely staff, myself and my 7 year old got straight onto the giant swing. The Lovely Mia made the young one feel calm and confident (and the dad). It was an awesome experience so we done it twice. The jump was amazing and the guys up the top had a few good jokes to turn the nervous face into a smile. Even had a sneaky beer at the bar afterwards and watched more jumpers. If you don't visit this place in cairns, you're missing out.

Fun day out

Booked this on the same day and they managed to pick us up from the hotel. Welsh driver was lovely :) We did the bungy and swing combo for $199 per person. There was a big group before but had left so there was plenty of space. All staff were nice to deal and the guys at each of the platforms for bungy and the swing made you feel at ease. There was a fully stocked bar and you can order food. Locker hire for $2 and seating areas so people can record you from the ground. Upper seating Area there was a band playing. Nice place to have a cold beverage and watch people screaming whilst they jump. Minor con is the quality of the media for the price you pay. The locations of some of cameras are in a bad spot when the sun is behind you. So videos may not be clear. Some of the cameras look like they were just IPhones? Also would recommend driving there as you might spend the day there waiting for the others you came with to finish their turn. Overall great day

Great times

It was a great experience and wonderful service however I did have a tension pull on my leg on the way down so that is the only downfall really. Other than that it was super enjoyable!

Bucket List Item Ticked

First time for both me and my partner to bungy jump. Experience was awesome and the staff were fantastic with a great sense of humour. The giant swing was also better than expected. The videos turned out great and will definitely help to bring back some terrific memories. I would suggest to allow some extra time as they were already running 45 mins behind schedule for our 10am appointment. Might also want to bring a cap for the swing experience as the helmets had a bit of a smell to them.

Highlight of my trip

Words can not describe how amazing this experience was. The staff were all lovely and clearly loved their jobs particularly the guys up the top. The guys up the top for bungy were incredible making everyone feel safe, relaxed and created lots of laughs despite being super scary up there. The bungy jump was the highlight of our trip and we are 100% coming back to do it again. Thanks.so much!!!

Unexpected heights

Went to experience the giant swing with partner and did not expect to free fall or it to be that high. Impressed beyond words, what an experience! Definitely recommend having someone to record the swing for you, the video/photos are pricey for the quality you get.

Won’t be going back.

Awful experience. Called prior was told a booking was not necessary. Got there and was told we needed to book. The girl had a bad attitude on her face and didn’t even say sorry. We were then booked in and had 4 hours till we could jump we were told to come back. We came back 4 hours later and was told we needed to wait an additional 1.5 hours. Not once was there a sorry. We waited such a long time. We turned up at 10am and jumped at 3pm. My go pro photos abs video didn’t work and they just said it didn’t work no sorry or anything. I wanted to opportunity to purchase if it looked good. Not care attitude from the girls. Won’t be going back. The guys up top we’re great though.

Falling for fun

This was a great experience. I felt very safe but it was lots of fun. Staff were great and very professional. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a bit of an adrenalin shot.

Ultimate Nth QLD Thrill

My kids did the bungy and swing here last month. The staff were all super friendly and professional and the boys absolutely LOVED both activities. They were safe and efficient and I would definitely recommend if you are a thrill-seeker. Price was as expected.

AJ Hacket Jump

Amazing experice, close to the airport during extended layovers, a quick ina nd out process and a good team which made the experience thrilling without being daunting.

Awesome day out

Great Experience and staff! 10/10 would recommend this place. Great having a pickup service and drop off.

Bungy Cairns

The staff were absolutely fabulous. The jump was a blast, highly recommend the experience. Great value due to the reopening discount.

Amazing experience!

My sister and I did the bungee jump in Cairns and it was the most amazing experience. Check in was really quick and the reception staff were great when discussing my sister’s knee injury. Then we went straight up the stairs to the top of the tower. I am extremely scared of heights and was terrified at the top of tower- I didn’t feel like the two guys who sort the jump for you, were very understanding of my fear. They were very grumpy/sarcastic and didn’t put me at ease at all (that’s why I put 4 stars instead of 5) however the girl in the boat at the bottom of the jump was amazing! We chose to get the ultimate media package which was absolutely amazing! You get lots of photos and 2 videos. The video shows your jump from loads of different angles. It was extremely good!

A Must Do

Family road trip through Qld and a must do adventure is a Bungy. I jumped with my son and what an experience. Outstanding staff with fantastic attitudes make the whole experience the best it could be. We also did a family swing and that was awesome. Highly recommend it for anyone. Thanks Guys.

Most amazing experience of a lifetime!

I went to AJ Hackett Cairns for a Swing and Bungy in December. I was scared that I wouldn't have to guts to be able to do the bungy but with the help of all the amazing staff I felt confident enough to dive like a swan off the platform and make my way to the water below. I must say that this was one of the most amazing experiences of my life! Thank you to all at AJ Hackett for a fantastic day.
