Ever thought of walking through the rainforest—just not at ground level? At the Tamborine Rainforest Skywalk, you get to do just that. Swinging above Cedar Creek on Tamborine Mountain, this 1.5 km tree canopy walkway weaves through a lush canopy via forest-floor trails and sleek steel bridges, blending nature and gentle thrill in one effortless loop. Not too long, not too short—just right for all ages.
It kicks off at the Rainforest Eco Gallery, an inviting gallery showcasing local flora, fauna and Indigenous stories. You’ll find insect dioramas, a freshwater aquarium, and interpretive panels to whet your rainforest curiosity before hitting the trail. From there, the path ascends into the canopy, rising gently—as in stroller- and wheelchair-friendly for the first 300 meters—before guiding you into the treetops.
The highlight? A jaw-dropping 40 meters cantilever that thrusts out about 30 meters above the forest floor and creek—like a leafy queen’s balcony with panoramic views. Around you: birds, butterflies, ancient figs and the music of water below. On the return, wander past rock pools, a Butterfly Lookout, shaded rest spots and even a local history display before grounding yourself again at the centre. Most people take about an hour for the full loop—giving time to pause, snap a photo or simply absorb the quiet.
Open daily from around 9:30 am with last walks around 4 pm, this place rolls seven days a week, closing only on Christmas Day. No prebooking required, and tickets are valid for 12 months—handy if you want to return in a different season. Whether under rainforest drizzle or dappled sun, this treetop walk is always a leafy escape just a short drive from Brisbane or the Gold Coast.
If you’re tempted to stay, Tamborine Mountain has a flawless range of nearby accommodations. Songbirds Rainforest Retreat, just minutes away, offers spa vibes and true rainforest immersion—think timber decks and bird calls at dawn. Prefer boutique? Mt Tamborine Stonehaven is quiet, stylish and under a mile from the Skywalk. For classic comfort, Tambaridge Bed & Breakfast serves up garden views, a pool, even a jacuzzi—all within a ten-minute drive from your elevated rainforest stroll.
