This is really impressive, it is a long steel walkway that ascends into the treetops. Beautifully done, but if you have any difficulty with heights, you might not enjoy. My husband and I got through a couple of stations and then realized that reminding each other "don't look down" would not be enough for us, after all, the point is... More

The walk was pleasant even in the drizzle. Uphill walk on way back, so if you are not fit, catch the shuttle! Coffee from the cafe - don't bother. More

I can't say enough about the friendly, helpful staff at Otway Fly. This was the first time zipling for my sister and me. We were all geared up by our guides. There was a bit of a training run for a few of us. We walked out to the zipling carrying our gear. It took us about 20 minutes. Then... More

This is such a unique experience and the perspective from up above the rainforest is incredible, but beware the loooong walk back up the hill to the exit. We went on a long walk through the forest to the triple waterfalls after the Otway tree top walk...got quite a workout! More

Maybe a little expensive, but we definitely enjoyed our Treetop Walk. It was a healthy little adrenaline boost for me since heights make me nervous (the cantilever sways quite a bit in the wind!), but my husband had a nice, relaxing stroll. It was very beautiful and the air was so crisp and refreshing. The drive out there was half... More

Well worth the trip from Melbourne. The Zipline is lots of fun and well recommended for both adults and kids. A thorough safety check is conducted by well trained, highly knowledgeable and friendly staff. The zip through the forest is a hoot for all ages. A good adrenaline rush. Great to see this attraction in Victoria. Well done And the... More

$59 for a family seemed a bit expensive to walk on a steel walkway in a regrowth forest. Long walks from carpark to visitor centre, then from centre to the "Fly" aggravated our kids who had been in the car too long. Kids were whining about not doing zip lining ($375 for a family!) and the constant posters advertising this... More
