Minjin Jungle Swing - Cairns
Like no other of its kind the Minjin offers an experience that will leave you wanting more.
The Minjin will find you hanging high amongst the rainforest nestled in the trees ready to soar at speeds of up to 100kms! This is definitely for all the family and a great way to share some adventure on your trip to Cairns and a the beautiful World Heritage Rainforest.
Legend has it that the Minjin used to roam these hill-slopes in the lean body of a mountain devil, a vicious cat-like creature....
Today it roars in the shape of the Jungle Swing, at speeds of up to 100 kph. Stainless steel cables have taken the place of animal cunning, the spotted hide has made way for hang-gliding harnesses and the evil eyes are now brightly coloured lights... gravity provides the charge, which is wild and very real!
Once you get your harness on (similar to a hang-gliding harness), the Swing Operator hooks you to the rack (either by yourself or with 1 or 2 friends). You are then winched to 40m above the rainforest canopy. The Swing Operator will signal when it is time to pull the release cable. Gravity then takes over and the fun begins.
One, two or three people at a time can face the challenge of the Minjin - and legend further has it ... that anyone who enjoys the experience of the Minjin will live a charmed life. The evil karma of the Minjin has gone forever, but the good fortune of it's symbol will remain.

My oldest son (23) was 'pumped' he said it was totally worth it, he had a second go and bought the photos on memory stick and rec'd a t shirt. My younger son(15) was not impressed and did not want to go on swing so my son-in-law did (19) he was equally 'pumped', They had a lot of fun. My husband took a lot of photos which were excellent and much better than the blurred ones on the memory stick.
Next we will be booking white water rafting for my 15yo son through Adrenalin. Thank you for a great day!

I had such a tremendous time on the jungle swing and would definitely recommend it to others. The initial drop took my breath away and the swing made my belly tingle!
