Zipline Tour
Zipline Tour is a unique eco-wilderness adventure that takes place in the magnificent Southern Highlands rainforest. Officially the highest Zipline tour in Australia, the Illawarra Fly Zipline Tour involves flying on a series of elevated cable spans and navigating suspension bridges from one platform to another, connected by tree platforms called 'cloud stations', and continuously attached to a steel cable suspended up to 35 metres above the forest floor.
Participants will soar through the trees and learn about the growing and vibrant forest whilst capturing unparalleled views of everything from the forest floor, into the canopy and a glimpse out to the Pacific Ocean. This exciting experience is guided by trained and experienced Zipline tour guides who control all departures and arrivals.
