Frequently Asked Questions
How safe is it?
SAFE. The Giant Swing has been operating for over 10 years and has been designed to make sure at all times there are a minimum of 2 independent points of attachment.
What speeds do you travel at?
There is the potential to reach speeds of up to 120kph in 3.5 seconds. This Swing really gets you flying.
Can I swing with a friend?
Yep, and we encourage you to swing with 1 or 2 friends (3 in total) and the more combined weight you have, the faster you fly.
You can swing with 3 adults; 2 adults, 1 child; 1 adult, 2 children; or 3 children
How does it all work?
Swingers are fitted into hang-gliding style harnesses and lie horizontally. They are winched up to the release point, where once instructed to do so, you pull a quick-release cord and soar through the rainforest. The Swing is complete once returned to the initial starting point.
Can you swing and bungy in one day?
Of course you can. As they're both located at the Cairns site, it's a rarity for people to not do them both in one day.
Are there any restrictions to swing?
Only a few restrictions apply to the Swing - of course if you have any medical condition you are concerned about - call us and have a chat with one of our crew - always happy to answer your questions.
