GETTING TO SKYPARK

Your transfer picks you up from your hotel or hostel in Cairns city for the drive of about 20 minutes north to Skypark at Smithfield. With a car you can drive yourself and park free on site. The park sits at the foot of the ranges in the Wet Tropics, the rainforest belt that was World Heritage-listed in 1988 and is one of the oldest living rainforests on earth. A path climbs about six minutes uphill through the rainforest from the car park to reception. Keep an eye out for goannas and the electric-blue Ulysses butterfly, whose wings can span about 14 cm. There's a licensed bar and café, and viewing decks where friends can watch.

JUMP ONE: FROM THE PLATFORM

The first jump is a standard one from the tower platform, so you get used to the gear and the feel of the fall. The crew weigh you, match one of four cord thicknesses to your weight. Then it's 196 stairs to the top of the Skypark tower, built in August 1990 and tested that December when Cyclone Joy threw winds of 180 km/h at it. At 50 metres it's the highest lookout in Cairns, and on a clear day the view runs over the Northern Beaches and out to the Great Barrier Reef, 2,300 km long and the largest coral reef system on earth. Then you drop 50 metres towards a lagoon 5 metres deep.

JUMP TWO: OFF THE ROOF

If the Jump Master is happy with your first jump, you climb the 196 stairs again and keep going, up onto the roof of the tower. This time there's no standing at the edge. You sprint across the roof and launch yourself off it, 53 metres above the lagoon. It's the most famous jump on the menu: the Crusty Demons once ran a shopping trolley off this roof. If you're not cleared for the roof, you make a second standard jump instead.

PHOTOS, A DRINK AND BACK TO TOWN

Both jumps are filmed, so you take home photos and video of the standing jump and the run off the roof. Grab a cold drink or a bite at the bar and café, or sit by the pond at the foot of the tower, fed by a natural waterfall from the rainforest. Then the transfer takes you back to Cairns.

Good to know

Meeting point: Skypark Cairns, Lot 2 McGregor Road, Smithfield, about 15 km north of Cairns, or a pick-up from Cairns city hotels and hostels.
Departure time: Transfers run at set times in the morning and early afternoon; your pick-up time is confirmed when you book. For a booking inside 24 hours, check a transfer is available or drive yourself.
Duration: About 3 hours.
Minimum age: 10 years.
Fitness: You climb the tower's 196 stairs twice. Bungy jumpers weigh 45 to 150 kg.
Suits: Young adults, couples and active travellers who want more than one jump. The walk up from the car park is steep in parts; people with limited mobility can be driven up the back driveway to the entrance if the park is told ahead. The crew adapt the activities for most disabilities, given at least 2 weeks' notice.
Please note: You must make one confident standard jump before the roof jump, and the Jump Master decides; if you are not approved, you do a standard jump instead. Declare any medical condition, such as high blood pressure, a heart condition, pregnancy, epilepsy or a past dislocation; it does not automatically rule you out. The park is closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. It runs in rain but stops for lightning and cyclones.

How far in advance do I need to book my tour?

As a rule of thumb, try to book at least 2 weeks prior to departure, this will usually get you a seat on the date you want.

Real reviews from travellers who've done this tour, gathered from around the web and paraphrased.

How we collect and publish reviews

Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.

Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.

Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.

(5/5)

My first and second bungy jumps. Get the video pack and the two jumps, I did the roof jump the second time and it was worth it. I felt safe the whole time.
