What could be better?

Honestly, not much. Wear comfy shoes for the walkways and tower climb, and bring water on warm days.

More about this tour.

Most rainforest walks keep you on the ground looking up. At Mamu Tropical Skywalk, on the Palmerston Highway in Wooroonooran National Park, you walk out into the canopy and then climb above it, without a steep hike in sight.The elevated walkway threads through one of the largest remaining stands of complex vine forest on basalt soils in the Wet Tropics. A cantilever juts out over the North Johnstone River gorge, and the 37 metre observation tower lifts you over the treetops for views across the World Heritage rainforest. Information signs and an audio guide in 8 languages explain the plants, birds and insects around you, along with the culture and history of the area.The paths are wheelchair and stroller friendly everywhere except the highest platform of the tower, and light refreshments are on sale when you finish. Allow about two hours, then carry on to Mena Creek for the castle ruins on Paronella Park admission, or cover both sites with the Paronella Park and Mamu Tropical Skywalk combined ticket.Explore the canopy at your own pace, check availability for your date, then book your entry.
