Otway Fly Treetop Adventures is nestled in the heart of Victoria’s Great Otway National Park and delivers a rainforest experience unlike any other in Australia. Home to the world's longest and highest steel treetop walk, this 600-meter elevated pathway winds through a landscape brimming with natural beauty. Towering up to 47 meters at its highest point, the walkway offers a bird's-eye view of one of the country's lushest and most ancient ecosystems.
The walkway winds through a diverse forest canopy of Myrtle beech and Mountain ash trees, which are the tallest hardwood species in the world. Beneath the canopy walkway is a thriving midstory of soft tree ferns and other native flora, creating a multilayered journey through the treetops. Beginning on the forest floor, you gradually move upward until the path opens into the full height of the canopy. Along the way, interpretive signs reveal the secrets of this vibrant living landscape.
Midway through the walk, a striking spiral tower rises to the full 47 meters, offering panoramic views of the Otway Ranges. For an added thrill, the cantilevered lookout extends into the open forest and gently sways—often nudged for fun. For those craving more adrenaline, Otway Fly's zipline tour glides visitors 30 meters above the forest floor as they move between platforms high in the clouds for a soaring adventure.
This fully accessible, family-friendly experience features stroller-ready paths, and staff are available to assist. Children love the "Prehistoric Path," where dinosaur sculptures are cleverly tucked into the foliage. Rain or shine, the rainforest remains magical. In fact, light showers bring out the colors and scents of the forest, making the experience even more immersive.
After completing the treetop journey, stop by the on-site café for hot drinks, sweet treats, and plenty of seating to enjoy the views. Many visitors also take the time to explore the nearby trails or head down the coast to experience the Great Ocean Walk.
At Otway Fly, innovation and ecology intersect. The sleek, steel walkway is bold and industrial, yet it never feels intrusive against the softness of the ancient forest. Instead, it elevates the experience, both literally and figuratively. Whether you're gliding above the canopy on a zipline or quietly observing the ferns below, the treetop walkway transforms a forest visit into an unforgettable experience.
