The perfect combo when visiting AJ Hackett in Cairns on any given day, rain or sunshine. It gives you that perfect mix between an excited giggle when doing the swing and an anxiety scream, ask my girlfriend, when doing the bungee. Don’t get us wrong, it’s the best feeling there is because it awakens you and stir up emotions inside that you don’t usually expose nor encounter frequently. Both of us can testify to that.

Bungee jumping is in short a sparkling cocktail of emotions. A mix between excitement and nervousness giving you an incredible suction in the stomach as you fall and an overwhelming feeling of happiness during that first pullback of the bungee cord towards where you took a leap of faith in the first place. Sort of a silent explosion inside triggered when you jump off the edge and then reaching its peak just when you get pulled back up again. It is a powerful feeling you don’t get often, no doubt. 

The Jungle Swing has that roller coaster feeling, which gives off a more gentle touch but still manages to make you laugh like a kid again and sound off a gentle Whee as you swing through the rainforest enjoying the spectacular view of the surroundings.

The atmosphere at AJ Hackett is wonderful. And when you are done jumping, or for that matter swinging, there is no better feeling than just winding down with a beer in your hand, have something to eat and proudly think about what you have just done while you watch all the other daredevils that are about to get injected with the Hackett adrenaline shot. 

As a student you can enjoy Bungee Jumping for as little as $139. Adults pay a little bit more, $179 and children pay the same as students. At the end you get a T-shirt, e-certificate that you can hang on your wall to show all your friends or just remind yourself from time to time and you also get a International Membership with 20% off worldwide.

If you want to try the Jungle Swing students pay $99, children $69 and adults $129. We recommend doing both while you are visiting, just like we did.

If you are interested in doing any of the other activities, perhaps even something XXX rated like a handstand or fruit bat, you can get an overview here.
