Frequently asked questions

Can two or three people ride together, and how do the weight limits work?

Yes—you can ride solo or share the experience with one or two others. Solo riders must weigh between 55 kg and 150 kg. For two or three riders, each person must weigh at least 25 kg and fit the harness securely. The group must weigh at least 55 kg in total and no more than 200 kg combined.

Can children take part in the swing?

Yes, provided they weigh at least 25 kg and fit the harness safely. There isn’t a fixed minimum age for this activity. Anyone under 18 will need a parent or guardian to co-sign the waiver, and the usual group weight limits still apply.

Do I have to jump off a platform?

No—this is a harnessed swing, so you don’t have to take a head-first leap. Once you’re securely fitted in, the swing is raised into position and released into a huge arc through the rainforest, with a 45-metre descent and speeds of up to 120 km/h. It’s a brilliant choice if you want a serious adrenaline hit without doing a bungy jump.

What if I feel nervous before the ride?

That’s completely normal—many guests feel butterflies before the release. The crew fits your harness, talks you through what will happen and completes the safety checks before you go. Reviews repeatedly praise the team for being calm, friendly and reassuring, so you can focus on enjoying the rush.

Can friends or family come along to watch?

Yes—spectators are welcome, so friends and family can share the atmosphere without riding. The rainforest site has purpose-built viewing areas plus a café and bar, making it easy to watch the action and enjoy the setting.

Should I book the swing in advance?

Yes—booking ahead is the best way to secure your preferred session, especially during busier periods when popular times can fill. Availability can change, so locking in the experience before you arrive is the smoother option.
