DISCOVER: THE TAMBORINE MOUNTAIN ECO CENTRE AND RAINFOREST SKYWALK at Tamborine Mountain, Queensland, Australia.
A new eco-adventure exploring the beautiful rainforest canopies and habitat in a different and thrilling way.

Visitors depart from the Rainforest Eco Gallery and begin the adventure on a spectacular elevated walkway through the beautiful middle and upper canopies of the rainforest. The walkway is a stable, high-tech steel structure enabling visitors to explore these canopies in a safe and secure way. It descends gradually to the lower canopy and follows points of interest including rockpools and waterfalls, a butterfly lookout, local history enclosure and sheltered rest areas along the way until reaching the amazing Skywalk. This is a 40 metre long cantilever soaring 30 metres above the valley, with spectacular views over the creek and the rainforest canopies below. Finally the walk returns along the rainforest floor to the Centre.
The tour takes approximately 45 minutes and is suitable for all ages.
