Our meeting place, the <a title=\"AJ Hackett Bungy, Cairns\" href=\"http:\/\/cairns.ajhackett.com\/\">AJ Hackett Bungy<\/a> site in Cairns. Get ready for an action packed get-to-know-you complete with jumping off bridges and having a couple drinks in the jungle.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing that I <a title=\"Speight\u2019s Brewery Tour : Dunedin\" href=\"https:\/\/www.heynadine.com\/speights-brewery-tour-dunedin\/\">chickened out of bungy jumping back in Queenstown,<\/a> I thought I would try a different adrenaline rush. So I convinced fellow travel mate Adriane to do the <strong>Minjin Swing<\/strong> with me, the world&#8217;s fastest jungle swing.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.static.flickr.com\/7208\/6908231357_8e1f6231e0_b.jpg\" alt=\"AJ Hackett Cairns, Australia\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Tully River<\/h2>\n<p>So I am going a bit out of order here and we are actually going to skip a day and jump right into our third day on tour. Reason being is that our second day requires an entire blog post to itself.<\/p>\n<p>So our third day on tour consisted of a white water rafting trip down the Tully River. Unlike the <a title=\"Rotorua + White Water Rafting!\" href=\"https:\/\/www.heynadine.com\/rotorua-white-water-rafting\/\">previous rafting trip<\/a> I have taken, this trip was an all day event consisting of 5 hours of rafting. It was also much more technical then my previous trip, including grade 3-4 rapids.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.static.flickr.com\/7040\/6908180113_6ac7731e39_b.jpg\" alt=\"Tully River , White Water Rafting, Tully, Australia\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.static.flickr.com\/7046\/6908191719_742f6287de_b.jpg\" alt=\"Tully River , White Water Rafting, Tully, Australia\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Since the river levels were low, there was a lot of time in between the rapids and we got stuck at quite a few points temporarily. Regardless, it was a very fun day and I even managed to get a bit of color from the sun.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.static.flickr.com\/7067\/6908207615_6634339a85_b.jpg\" alt=\"Tully River , White Water Rafting, Tully, Australia\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.static.flickr.com\/7196\/6908181807_2684092ff5_b.jpg\" alt=\"Tully River , White Water Rafting, Tully, Australia\" \/><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Chillin in the river<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The World&#8217;s Fastest Jungle Swing and white water rafting down the Tully River. <i> Cairns, Australia<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":25937,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[133,158,238,302,479,506,713,810,1541,1668,1840,2873,2914,3020,3192],"class_list":["post-25936","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-oceania","tag-activities","tag-aj-hackett","tag-australia","tag-beaches-and-reefs","tag-bungy","tag-cairns","tag-contiki","tag-travel","tag-jungle-swing","tag-life","tag-minjin-swing","tag-travel-videos","tag-tully-river","tag-videos","tag-white-water-rafting"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/heynadine.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25936","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/heynadine.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/heynadine.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heynadine.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heynadine.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25936"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/heynadine.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25936\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heynadine.com\/new\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/heynadine.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25936"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heynadine.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25936"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/heynadine.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25936"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
