Kids love spotting butterflies and learning about the rainforest, while parents enjoy the calm atmosphere and scenic views. Even grandparents can comfortably enjoy the walk thanks to the gentle gradients and shady paths.
🌳 Inside the Rainforest Canopy
Walking through the rainforest canopy is like stepping into another world. The elevated paths offer a close-up look at life in the treetops, where birds flit between branches, vines curl around trunks, and the air is filled with the scent of rainforest greenery. This is one of the few places in Australia where you can walk through the rainforest, not just beside it.
