Itinerary
You’ll start with the “Human Hamster Wheel” – harnessing the energy of enthusiastic jungle surfers to hoist riders up to the first tree platform.
Then you’ll glide through the different levels of the canopy, with bird’s eye views over the treetops, down to cascading streams and out to the Great Barrier Reef.
The longest span is over 75 metres and the platforms range from 3.5m to 19.5m high, offering an “up-close and personal” experience with nature at her spectacular best.
The tour is fully guided – three guides to maximum 13 guests – and no experience is necessary.
The guides share their rainforest wit and wisdom with interpretive talks on each platform that also offers incredible photo opportunities.
The team use a unique system to control your flight, making this the only flying fox in the world where you can fly hands-free and carefree. And the flight choice is yours – slow, fast or even upside-down, if you dare!
