Nestled in the heart of the ancient Daintree Rainforest, Treetops Adventure Cape Tribulation offers a bird’s eye view of one of the world's oldest and most diverse ecosystems. Located in Far North Queensland, the Daintree Rainforest boasts lush greenery, exotic wildlife, and a rich cultural history. This pristine environment provides the perfect backdrop for an elevated tropical and tranquil adventure.

Treetops Adventure Cape Tribulation’s zipline tour is an immersive adventure that will allow you to fully appreciate the wonders of the rainforest while providing a safe experience. The Daintree Rainforest is a living museum, home to an extraordinary array of flora and fauna, some of which can only be found in this unique region. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a testament to nature's resilience and beauty, offering visitors a glimpse into a world where time seems to stand still.

The two-hour guided tour begins with a warm welcome from your friendly guides, who are not only knowledgeable about the rainforest's ecology but also passionate about sharing its secrets with you. After being safely fitted into a harness, the adventure begins with a short shuttle by minibus to the tour departure area, followed by a five-minute walk along the rainforest floor below the towering canopy to the starting platform. As you ascend into the canopy, the real magic begins. 

Suspended between 5 to 35 metres above the ground, the zipline tour offers breathtaking views of the forest from a perspective that only a few get to see. Soaring through the treetops along ziplines spanning 15 to 130 metres in length, you'll feel the gentle tropical breeze as you glide from one treetop platform to another. Throughout the tour, your guides will share fascinating insights into the rainforest's history, its unique wildlife, and the efforts to preserve this precious environment. You might even be lucky enough to encounter the local wildlife, including the elusive cassowaries and agile tree kangaroos. At the midpoint of the tour, you'll pause at an eight-metre-high platform to take in the breathtaking 360º views of the Daintree Forest before descending through the canopy on a series of suspended timber walkways. The highlight of the tour is undoubtedly the thrill of flying side by side with your adventure partner on the final 135-metre ziplines, perfectly culminating your adventure through the treetops.
