[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Otway Fly Treetop Adventures is a rainforest experience in the Otway Ranges suitable for all the family.
There are two activities – The Otway Fly Treetop Walk, which is suitable for all ages and is mostly accessible, and The Otway Fly Zip Line Tour, which is for visitors minimum 5 years old but 125cm tall (which is the average height of a 7-year-old). You have to buy tickets to each activity separately – buy your discount tickets to the Otway Fly Treetop Walk and Zipline Tour now!
When we visit in the school holidays the Otway Fly is also home to ten enchanting fairy houses.
Kids are given a treasure hunt map so that they can discover all ten fairy houses and then decode the puzzle to collect a reward (a sticker).
Each fairy house is handcrafted by volunteers from Men’s Shed Colac using recycled materials and fallen branches from the Otway Ranges.
The Otway Fly Treetop Walk is open every day and features a 600 metre-long, 25 metre-high elevated walkway, a 45-metre tall Spiral Tower and a cantilever bridge.

The whole loop takes about 1-1.5 hours and is mostly pram and wheelchair accessible (though you may have to push up some hills).
From the heights you get unrivalled views of the towering trees!
The cantilever bridge and spiral tower can be unnerving if you’re afraid of heights like me!
The Otway Fly Zip Line Tour is a 2.5 hour fully guided experience that’s like a series of flying fox rides. It gives visitors the opportunity to zip through the treetops, suspended 30 metres above the forest floor. There are eight ‘cloud stations’ platforms, six flights and two suspension bridges.
Baby 2.0 is too short for the Zipline Tour (minimum 125cm) and children under 13 years must be accompanied by an adult, so we’ll have to return to try it another time. Note that the Zipline Tour is often sold out during school holidays so best to book to avoid disappointment. Also, you must book at least 24 hours in advance to receive the online discounted price.
On your way out there is a large cafe and gift shop, plus outdoor lawn games and a small playground.
Otway Fly Treetop Adventures is one of the attractions that are part of the Merlin Annual Pass. Save money with the pass as you can get 12 months entry to 11 top attractions in Australia and New Zealand (including Legoland Melbourne and SEA Life Melbourne Aquarium) plus discounts for the retail shop, food and beverages, activities and events and more.
