You should allow approximately 1.5hrs in your day to be able to participate on the Zipline Tour. This includes from the time your tour is scheduled to start to your return to the Visitor Centre, as the course consists of 3 cabled Ziplines and 2 cabled Suspension Bridges tucked amongst our beautiful Rainforest.

The 1.5hr Zipline Tour breaks down into a 20-25min safety briefing & harness fit with the Guides, a 5-10min walk down a medium grade track to get to the start of the Zipline Course, up to 45mins clipped in enjoying the treetops from a different perspective and remaining with your group from departure to touchdown, and then finally about 10 minute walk back up to the Visitor Centre or continue directly on to the self-guided Treetop Walk.

If you wish to do the Treetop Walk (which is inclusive of your ticket price) you will need to allow at least 2.5hrs in your day to enjoy both activities.

Please note last entry to the Treetop Walk is 3:30pm on weekends and 3pm on weekdays. so if you are participating in a Zipline Tour any time after 2.30pm, you will not have time to do the Treetop walk after your Zipline Tour.

Therefore, plan to arrive with enough time before your scheduled afternoon Zipline Tour to complete the 1hr self-guided walk prior to Ziplining.
