Full description

Set 300 meters above the base cafe, your adventure starts with a 4 kilometer mini-bus journey up through the park to the launch platform of the Skywire. Your guides will entertain you on the ride up with facts and stories of the park and surrounding areas. The Skywire experience takes up to 4 people at a time, seated side by side, strapped into individual racing car style seats with 5 point harnesses, and can reach speeds of up to 100 kilometers per an hour. Move forward and backwards on the Skywire, with 800 meters of gravity assisted freewheeling in each direction. With 700 meters of scenic journey in each direction, finish back at the start after nearly 10 minutes of this thrilling experience. Many people rate the return backwards as the highlight of the trip.

Was an awesome set up and experience for sure. Amazing views, Fletcher was our guide and he was really cool to chat with and gave us some cool history about the place. Only thing it was a bit short be good if it was a bit longer than there and back but still awesome to do it

Nice view but quite tame. If you’re looking for excitement this isn’t it.
