    OK so first of all it's a lovely walk. Some nice views and it was fun walking in the Upper canopies. But as far as value goes, for a relatively short sky walk, it's a lot of money for what you get, especially when the nearby, free Curtis Falls walk is just as beautiful. I know it costs money to maintain but it would be a lot more palatable if it costs half as much.

    We visited in the latter part of March 2022. Nice walk and great views of the rainforest, with plenty of shade. The raised walkway is easily negotiated, although some of the gravel paths rise and fall by a fair amount, so you will need to be able to walk up and down some relatively steep grades. The signage is good. The paths will accommodate a pram/stroller of standard width, although there are a few stairs and narrower spots, and larger wheels will be needed to handle the gravel. Well worth a visit.

    It's nice to go to on a weekend or on holidays. It's a easy walk true some of the nicest forest. Plenty of information boards to read if you want to now more of the place and fona and flora. If you finish the walk you can sit on the deck and have something to eat and drink and enjoy the peace and quiet of the mountain forest. Just wish there was more water in the river or creak? Friendly staff and helpful. Wheelchair friendly most of the walking way, some places will be a challenge. But ask first the friendly staff at the desk when you get there.If your tipe of wheelchair will be able to go on the walk way. Prices are affordable. Love it.

    My second visit this year. Lovely walk, coffee shop, gift shop, clean toilets, little exhibition of flora and fauna and of course the views. It’s quite high, up to 30feet in the air, so if you don’t like heights, it won’t work for you. Suitable for kids, but not buggys! I would give it 5 stars except that It is expensive. $49 for 3 students for example.

    This was a great place to visit to learn more about the rainforest on Tambourine Mountain. The Skywalk was a bit wobbly but interesting to see the rainforest at tree canopy height. So much to see, feel and smell.

    Super relaxing walk when it’s quiet so going off-peak is definitely the way to go. 4/5 stars as it’s a bit pricey in my opinion when the walk isn’t super long. A cool experience to cross off the bucket list to be up high with the trees though! The service at the front desk was also very nice as we were greeted as soon as we walked in the door.

    What perfect day to go for a walk in a rainforest, it was raining lol. That did not stop this family of 5 though, bit of whingeing along the way from the Kids, but in the end they loved it. The staff were super friendly and informative. Reasonably priced well worth it, a must do.

    I recently visited tamborine skywalk, and while the walk itself was lovely with stunning views and the unique experience of walking in the Upper canopies, I couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed with the overall value for money. Don't get me wrong, the scenery is undeniably beautiful, and there's something magical about being up in the treetops. However, considering the relatively short length of the sky walk, the price seemed quite steep. I understand that maintenance costs money, but compared to the nearby and free Curtis Falls walk, which is equally as breathtaking, it's hard to justify the price. If the admission fee was halved, it would make the experience a lot more affordable and enjoyable. While I appreciate the effort put into maintaining the sky walk, it's important to consider the pricing from a visitor's perspective. Overall, if you're willing to splurge a bit for a unique experience and don't mind the cost, the walk is worth it for the scenic beauty and the chance to explore the Upper canopies. However, if you're looking for a similar experience on a budget, I'd recommend checking out the free Curtis Falls walk nearby. Note: Keep in mind that this review reflects my personal opinion and experience, and others may have different perspectives.

    Amazing place. Lots of snippets of information about the plants and wildlife. Well kept, great views and not too many people around when we visited in the rain. Friendly staff. An all round great experience. Definitely recommend.

    It's a beautiful place & nice staff. Coffee, cold drinks, free car park & souvenirs available. Downside can be small place. Max 15 minutes to go up & come down. Tickets are very expensive, maybe if they were sold for $5 would be fair but $20 is bit too much.

    We visit on weekdays and it has never been busy. It's always a lovely quiet walk through the treetops and rainforest. The views from the treetops are beautiful and there's a lot for little ones to explore and learn.

    Lovely walk, but not something I would do with any accessibility issues or small children due to the uneven terrain and small climbs up and down the valley. Toilets were clean and spacious, didn't try the cafe, but small giftshop area was cute and had some beautiful things. I bought a couple of beautiful prints from the artist who set up a small area near the cafe.

    Wer den australischen Regenwald so kennen lernen will, wie er auf der Höhe von Brisbane ist und das auf einfache und unanstrengende Art und Weise tun will - ist hier genau richtig. Bequeme Wege, mal hoch in den Baumwipfeln, mal am Boden. Eine Vielzahl von unterschiedlichen Pflanzen und immer wieder Schilder die diese dem botanischen Laien näher bringen. Besser als (fast) jeder Botanische Garten.

    The skywalk is an outstanding hike in a part of the rainforest. Well maintained and very safe paths. The suspension bridge is breathtaking. The staff at the front desk are extremely helpful, they even helped me with my questions about other places i was planning to visit.

    A relatively short but enjoyable walk amongst the rainforest. Some pleasant views and lots of wildlife to be seen in good weather. The cantilever and viewing platforms were interesting, and there were several information boards scattered throughout. Easy walk and relatively flat in most parts. Lots of shaded routes from the tree tops, and some moderate heights at certain stages, particularly the viewing platform.

    Such a beautiful and scenic experience, this is where your money is well spent. The tree top walk and then a walk through the forest was something we kept talking about for days. There was a local artist painting while we were there and we graciously bought a print for our home.

    Simply beautiful. Must go if you are a nature lover. stunning views and the sound from stream, trees and birds just serene. If you are in right season may watch butterflies. Little cafe on site with balcony sitting.

  • 5/5 Robyn “Ballistic Housewife” j. 1 year ago on Google
    It is as it says on the tin, a canopy and rainforest walk. Super interesting experience for people like me that never spend any time in the tropics, but might be a little boring for children as it is is just an informative 1.5km walk. The gift shop is lovely with some unique hand made items, and everyone we met there were a pleasure to speak with, worth the trip up the mountain!

    Wonderful and unique experience. Interesting vegetation to see on the walk. Ideal for any age. No need to book can buy tickets there. Children under 6 years don't pay. Felt safe whilst doing the walk. Trail clearly labeled. Clean toilets available. Also cafe on site. No food is allowed on the walking trail. Highly recommend

  • 4/5 Kerry D. 7 months ago on Google
    Beautiful day for a walk amongst the tree tops. It's a nice easy walk to be enjoyed by young and old. Make sure you are looking around for wildlife. We were lucky enough to see a kookaburra sitting on the flagpole in the carpark. Would recommend if your in the area to visit and enjoy

  • 5/5 William 6 months ago on Google
    It was an awesome experience lots are birds and excellent views even with the smoke I suggest getting in early at 9:30 when it opens so you have a nice cool one and a half kilometer walkthrough some really beautiful scenes recommended to everybody

    Nice little walk above the trees, it’s a short hike from get go. Little bit to eat at the cafe

  • 3/5 The Lovely R. 7 months ago on Google
    It's a beautiful walk but the skywalk itself is quite short. Most of the walk is on ground level, so the experience feels far too overpriced. The staff however, are exceptional. They were friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and approachable. As a tourist looking for both gifts and information about other attractions, I found the staff of much greater value than the skywalk. They are the true highlight of the experience.

  • 4/5 Valerie H. 8 months ago on Google
    Well set up for a privately owned tourist destination. The tree top walkway was very enjoyable as well as the history information at the end of the track. Not too pricey to enter

  • 5/5 Kiesha B. 1 year ago on Google
    We went in the pouring rain and it was quite magical but very wet. No animals out due to the rain but that’s ok. There didn’t seem to be any free umbrellas on site for people to use so make sure you pack one if it’s rainy. It was quite a short walk for $20.00. Was happy to pay the price though as I wanted to see it. Super pretty views and cute photo opportunities on the board walk.

  • 4/5 Addison Y. 9 months ago on Google
    A great place to go for an adventure walk and for tourist. Great views from views and on the platforms. It will bring great opportunities for your family to take pictures Infront of the great flora. Overall a great place to go for the views and pictures., definitely would want people to go there.

  • 5/5 Sam “Sam” V. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing tropical landscape 20 min from Logan, diversity at best. Short to medium walks for everyone however be mindful of leeches recommend to wear proper footwear to avoid bites. Otherwise very unique flora and fauna.

  • 5/5 Joanne D. 1 year ago on Google
    A beautiful place to get away from it all for a few days. Our stay at Cedar Creek Lodge was very comfortable, with bush walks and bubbling creeks. Lots of activities and a great cafe as well. SkyWalk was also brilliant, with fabulous views from the treetop canopy.

  • 5/5 Justin �. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful location, found it easy to get around and doesn’t require much of a fitness level, spent 2 hours there but I was taking photos, usually this may take around an hour. Was busy due to school holidays so had to park further out but no wait times to get in.

  • 5/5 Lena P. 1 year ago on Google
    Gorgeous place. A must do if you are visiting the Gold Coast. Definitely being a camera. Lovely rainforest walks down below, lots of interesting foliage and tree trunks. Definitely have enclosed shoes as the track is unpaved. Views on the sky walk consist mostly of canopy tree tops, no landscape views. Lovely staff. Toilets located in the reception. Highly recommended heading to Curtis Falls afterwards, a short drive away, for a beautiful waterfall viewing.

  • 5/5 Mark C. 1 year ago on Google
    A could take a star off since one part of the walk sways a bit, not for the vertiginous or nervous, but the rest of the walk is fantastic. Great information boards all the way around. Even the shop at the exit is pleasant and different, with emphasis on local arts & crafts

  • 5/5 Aidan S. 1 year ago on Google
    Enjoyed the walk, great for all ages. Can't wait to revisit in spring when everything is flowering.

    It was our first time visiting Tamborine Mountain so we were confused on where to go, but the overall experience was fun. It's definitely an experience with the family and it's the type of adventure you wouldn't regret exploring. Lots of wildlife so it's also a great option for outdoorsy orientated folks. We didn't go on the main tracks, yet we still enjoyed our time.
