Otway Fly Treetop Adventures Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Australia | Take a walk on the top of the rainforest tree
Otway Fly Treetop is the longest and tallest canopy walkway in the world and a great family trip on the Great Ocean Road. project. There are two types of excursions, one is a rainforest walk for all ages, and the other is a relatively high-altitude cableway. As a non-adventure project enthusiast, I naturally still take a step on the top of the tree.
Treetop Walk
is about 2 kilometers in length. It takes about 1 hour to visit. It consists of a steel frame canopy walkway that is 600 meters long and 30 meters high, and walks between us through the canopy. There will be a spiral tower (Spiral Tower) with a height of 45 meters in the middle. From the perspective of God, the rainforest will have a different feeling.
Zipline Tours
2.5 hours of cableway taxiing, including 8 cloud stops, 6 taxis, 2 suspension bridges, and 1 hour treetop walk.

My First Treetop Walk at Otway
After resting for a night at a motel on the Great Ocean Road, a drive of about an hour brought us to the entrance of the Otway Treetop Walk, located in the Otway region. There is a free open-air parking lot near the entrance.
I imagined the treetop walk to be a bit thrilling, but in reality, it was very safe and even a bit bland. After ticket verification at the entrance, we directly entered the forest and quickly reached the treetop walk entrance following the signs. It turns out that the treetop walk is just a walk on a steel-framed walkway that has been set up. However, when I stood on the steel-framed walkway at the canopy layer and looked down at the jungle, I still felt it was magical. Although humans don't have wings, we can still stand at the height of birds and appreciate the beauty of the sky. It is said that the Otway treetop walk is the longest and tallest of its kind in the world, and probably the sturdiest too, able to withstand a category 5 tornado.
According to the explanatory signs along the walkway, the Otway rainforest has four layers: the canopy layer, the understorey leaf layer, the middle layer, and the rainforest floor. Each layer is a unique ecosystem, providing habitats for different groups of animals and plants. At the same time, each layer supports the others, offering protection and nutrients. Walking through the rainforest and learning some knowledge is very suitable for family trips, and children can be educated while having fun on the way.
There were no restrooms seen during the walk in the forest, so it is recommended to use the facilities at the visitor center before entering.
The visitor center offers simple meals, with prices similar to other tourist areas.
Those who like thrilling experiences can choose the zip-line. For us, the treetop walk was just right, safe, comfortable, and not too tiring.
In addition to the coastal roads, the Great Ocean Road can also enter the tropical rain forest. The winding roads are very narrow and have the feeling of exploration. The Otway tree top walks, and the 25 meters high to watch the rainforest is unique. It is also a natural oxygen bar.
