The cantilevered bridge is anchored into the hillside to allow for an unobstructed view of the valley without mid-span support columns.
The entire walk is constructed from approximately 400 tonnes of steel to minimize the footprint on the forest floor.
The site incorporates an ecocentre featuring local geological and historical displays.
The rainforest at this location is characterized by high biodiversity, including many species of ferns and ancient canopy trees.
The track was engineered to avoid removing any mature trees during the construction process.
The Tamborine Rainforest Skywalk consists of a 1.5-kilometer circuit that combines a steel-structured elevated walkway, a cantilevered viewing platform, and forest floor trails. The steel walkway sits 30 meters above the creek and forest floor, providing a view of the upper canopy of the rainforest. The facility is located within a 30-acre private property on Mount Tamborine. The route concludes at a rock pool and a butterfly lookout. Visitors navigate a mix of engineered paths and natural ground-level trails. The site is designed for low-impact nature appreciation within a temperate rainforest environment. The main cantilevered bridge extends 40 meters out over the valley floor.
The end of the cantilevered bridge offers a clear, panoramic view across the canopy and the Cedar Creek valley.
Wear comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes to navigate the transition between steel grates and natural dirt paths.
Check weather forecasts before visiting, as high-altitude rainforest trails can become slippery and misty.
Bring a camera with a wide-angle lens to capture the panoramic view from the cantilever bridge.
Attempting to walk the circuit in flip-flops or open footwear, which are unsuitable for the uneven forest floor sections.
Closed on Christmas Day.
Stay on marked paths to prevent soil erosion and avoid disturbing the fragile rainforest ecosystem; refrain from feeding local wildlife.
