Skypark Cairns opened in 1990 as Australia's first commercial bungy jump site, anchoring its 50-metre tower into the rainforest canopy three kilometres north of Smithfield. The tower's steel lattice rises through the Casuarina and Paperbark layer, suspending jumpers above a creek bed where water dragons and scrub turkeys forage in the leaf litter below. Founder AJ Hackett, who pioneered commercial bungy jumping in Queensland after leaping from the Eiffel Tower in 1987, designed the platform to swing jumpers through a 43-degree arc over the creek rather than dropping them straight down—a pendulum trajectory that became the facility's signature. The site now operates four core experiences: solo bungy jumps from the primary platform, tandem giant swings that harness two riders back-to-back, a minjin swing that rotates jumpers 360 degrees mid-flight, and combo packages pairing the bungy with the giant swing. Each jump cycle runs 12 minutes from harness-up to platform release, with radio-linked ground crew coordinating retrieval from the landing zone. The bungy cord itself—a blend of natural rubber and synthetic fibres—stretches to 4.2 times its resting length at maximum extension, engineered to arrest a 100-kilogram jumper within seven metres of full stretch. Weight limits span 45 to 125 kilograms for solo jumps; tandem swings accommodate pairs totalling up to 200 kilograms combined. Cairns bungy jump price structures reflect inclusions: solo jumps bundle the first leap, harness hire, and digital video footage shot from three helmet-mounted cameras. Combo tickets add giant swing access and a second bungy attempt at a reduced per-jump rate. Skypark's rainforest setting differentiates it from coastal jump sites—the tower's elevation keeps jumpers above the forest understory rather than plunging toward open water, and the humid microclimate means morning sessions between 10:00 and noon offer cooler air temperatures before midday heat settles into the canopy. The facility holds dual certification from the Australian Adventure Activity Standard and the New Zealand Bungy Code, requiring quarterly inspections of all rigging hardware and annual cord replacement regardless of jump count. Pricing tiers align with activity duration and equipment complexity. The giant swing, which uses a winch-and-release system rather than elastic cords, carries a lower price point than the bungy due to shorter cycle times and simpler rigging. Tandem configurations cost more per person than solo jumps because of the reinforced harness requirements and dual-camera documentation. Combo packages reduce the per-activity cost by 18 to 22 percent compared to booking each experience separately, a structure designed to extend average visit duration from 90 minutes to three hours.

A step-by-step walkthrough of the visit — what you'll see, how long each stage takes, and the details that matter.
You arrive at McGregor Road and park beneath the Paperbark canopy, walking 80 metres along a gravel path to the registration pavilion. Inside, you sign the liability waiver and step onto the floor scale—your weight determines cord selection from the rack of seven colour-coded cables hanging beside the harness station. A rigger fits your leg straps and chest buckle, cinching each until the webbing sits snug against your hips, then clips a tether to your back D-ring and walks you to the tower base. The climb takes four minutes: 120 open-mesh steps spiralling around the tower's core, your tether sliding along the safety rail as you ascend past the lower canopy layer. At the platform, you shuffle to the edge and look down through the grating—the creek bed is a thin brown line 50 metres below, flanked by ferns and fallen logs. The jump master hooks your ankle cuffs to the bungy cord, counts down from three, and you step forward into empty air. The first three seconds are freefall. Then the cord catches and you swing forward in a long arc over the creek, the forest rushing past in a green blur, before the rebound pulls you back up toward the platform. You bounce twice more, each swing shorter than the last, until the oscillation dampens and you hang inverted above the landing zone. The ground crew lowers a retrieval line, you clip in, and they winch you down to the foam mat. The entire jump—platform to ground—takes 90 seconds.
