Perched High on the Escarpment

The Illawarra Fly Treetop Adventure is in the Southern Highlands of NSW. This stunning destination offers an unforgettable experience that brings visitors face to face with the beauty of the rainforest from an entirely new perspective.

The highlight of the experience is the Treetop Walk. This 1.5-kilometre rainforest trail includes a 500-metre-long elevated steel walkway, suspended up to 30 metres above the forest floor. As you wander through the treetops, you’ll be surrounded by towering eucalyptus trees, vibrant tree ferns and native birdlife.

The Illawarra Rainforest is home to a wide range of native flora and fauna. You may spot the treetop habitats of Tawny Frogmouths, Possums and Gliders. The forest is home to the majestic Lyrebird, which you can't always see but their distinctive call is unmistakable.

Whether you’re after peaceful natural beauty, jaw-dropping views, or thrilling treetop fun, Illawarra Fly offers a unique way to experience the magic of the Australian rainforest.
