What other activities are available for besides bungee jumping?

If the 16 different types of jumps weren’t enough to draw you into the rainforest outside of Cairns to the world famous bungee tower, they’ve also got ziplining and a giant jungle swing, both of which can be booked as a combo package along with bungee jumping!

Ziplining

If you’re traveling with friends and looking for fun in the tropical sun, one package allows for a full 6-hour experience that includes as many exhilarating jumps as you can fit into your day along with a single turn at zip-lining over the Kuranda rainforest with two or three friends.

Giant Jungle Swing

Are you looking for the ultimate thrill experience as well as something you can do alone or with one or two other friends or family members in Australia? Then since you’re already interested in bungee jumping, why not check out the one of a kind giant jungle swing while you’re at it?

Strap in and take a plunge from 45 meters all the way down to 1 meter in less than 4 seconds as you swing through the Australian jungle in style. It may sound dangerous, but with top of the line safety equipment and trained local experts watching your every move, you couldn’t be safer.

How much will Bungee Jumping in Cairns cost?

Bungee jumping in Cairns will cost you anywhere between AUD 100 and AUD 300 depending on how many people you bring with you, whether or not you take a combo package, and which tour provider you choose to go with.

Keep in mind that all bungee jumping activities take place at the exact same location in Australia, so make sure to do your due diligence and research each tour package to learn which ones offer exactly the experience you’re looking for to make your tropical vacation the best that it can be.

How long will bungee jumping in Cairns take?

The actual jump itself will only last a few seconds, but depending on which activity package you choose to book, a full bungee jumping experience in Cairns will last anywhere between 2 and 6 hours from the time you’re picked up from your hotel to the time you’re dropped back off.

In that time you’ll be able to fit in as many jumps as possible and you’ll also be able to shop for goodies and come away with complimentary t-shirts and a certificate of completion of the activity.

Where do I depart from to go bungee jumping in Cairns?

Bungee Jumping in Australia takes place at the Bungee Tower in the rainforest just 20 minutes north of Cairns, which is the world’s first tower built solely for bungee jumping all the way back in 1990 by a man named AJ Hackett, who previously made headlines by illegally jumping off the Eiffel Tower in 1987 and surviving to become a world class bungee jumping entrepreneur!

Most bungee jumping packages in Cairns offer hotel pickup and drop-off, and there are numerous available times throughout the day.

When is the best time to go bungee jumping in Cairns?

The best time to go bungee jumping in Cairns, and really the best time to do anything in Cairns, is between the months of May and September. This constitutes the winter season in Australia, but it may not be exactly what you’re used to!

There’s no snow, no ice, no jackets necessary at all. In fact, where summer in Australia is hot, sticky, wet from constant rainfall and a time of year for bugs in the air and sting rays in the water, winter is the exact opposite.

Temperatures always hover between 60 and 80 degrees and it hardly ever rains, making it the perfect conditions for an unforgettable tropical vacation.

The only downside is that winter in Australia is also peak tourist season, so expect to deal with lineups and wait times to do other tourists looking to experience their dream vacation as well!

Travel Tips

Bungee jumping in Australia is pretty self explanatory and there isn’t much that your tour provider won’t advise you of directly or that your safety experts won’t tell you before you jump. Still, it never hurts to be as prepared as possible, so here are a couple of things to keep in mind before you book a bungee jumping adventure in Australia!

The minimum age for bungee jumping in Australia is 10 years old, and anyone under the age of 18 will require a liability waiver signed by a parent or legal guardian.
Remember to wear comfortable shoes and clothes to ensure the best possible experience.
