Otway Fly Treetop Adventures

Overview

If you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and reconnect with nature, then it's time to pack the car, cruise through Anglesea and Lorne and head to the Otways. Not only does the National Park have rugged coastland, beaches, rainforest and mountains, but it's also home to Otway Fly Treetop Adventures where you can walk in the treetops, climb to the canopy and zip through lush greenery.

Located just 20 minutes from the Great Ocean Road, the adventure park features a stunning 600-metre treetop walk ($25). The elevated track is 25 metres from the ground (acrophobics beware), putting you right among the branches so you can observe the flora and fauna more closely. There's also a cantilevered lookout above Young's Creek and, for those wanting to scale to new heights, the 45-metre tall Spiral Tower provides unparalleled views.

For those seeking thrills, Otway Treetops Fly Adventures has a forest zipline tour ($120), where you'll be flying through the trees at 30 metres above the forest floor. The guided tour lasts about 2.5 hours and you'll learn all about the forest's history. Your ticket also includes access to the Treetop Walk.

Otway Fly Treetop Adventures is open from 10am–5pm every Thursday–Monday, with last entry at 3.30pm. Prices range from $20–120.
