- WestcrofterMelbourne, Australia40 contributionsA wonderful experience up in the treesA lovely morning spent in the beautiful old growth forest, climbing up the walkway which takes you right up into the treetops. A fabulous experience. The staff were friendly and welcoming and offered to fetch us back from the walkway if we were tired, which we took them up on. My only complaint and the reason I have taken away one star is that the toilets were a disgrace. With the large number of tourists visiting I would have expected them to be cleaned frequentlyVisited January 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 8 January 2023
- GregTrav28Orlando, Florida614 contributionsGood value for moneyIf you are afraid of heights you won't like the treetop walk as it is very high and moves in the wind some. Nearly all the park is pram accessible though there are steep parts. You can hit the highlights in about 1-1.5hrs though 2 hrs would probably be better so you can take breaks if you need. Note the car park is 300m from the entrance so make sure you have everything before you leave your car and you calculate that in your visit time. There is no cell service in the area, but they do offer free Wifi at the entrance. Make sure you know opening hours too as they are closed part of the week. It's a nice park but not a must see unless you really want to be high in the trees. There are multiple trails nearby that give you that same rainforest feel for free (minus the treetop experience). The tower near the back of the park is very high up. Overall price is fairly low so we enjoyed it.Visited May 2023Travelled with familyWritten 7 July 2023
- christina pSydney, Australia83 contributionsA must do experience. Flying in the treetopsWhat a fabulous experience. We booked Treetops with our teenage boys. From the minute we signed on to the last zip line the team where just so professional. Our guides were Jacko, Matt and newcomer Shannon . Great job team . They kept us safe, were respectful of everyone’s abilities and told bad jokes . I would only recommend a little discussion about the rainforest and it’s history whilst high in the tree tops . Otherwise, can recommend to other adventures wanting something different. Well doneVisited August 2023Travelled with familyWritten 6 August 2023
- vicnotMelbourne, Australia353 contributionsOtway Fly - good fun.The zipline tour was a lot of fun, and felt very safe. The only thing I was annoyed about was that the staff suggested that the walk first would be rushing a bit, but afterwards we couldn't do it as our 'fly' was too late. They then suggested we could come back the next day but they were closed. We could easily have done the walk first instead of hanging around in the cafe (very basic) for nearly an hour.Visited September 2023Written 19 September 2023

Things to know for families with kids (rainforest & treetop walks):
- no byo food or drink allowed and the cafe has very limited options
- moderate fitness level required, the hills coming back up are very steep. So much walking in general.
- pram/wheelchair possible but not pram/wheelchair friendly, there are a few little steps in the fairy garden and a downhill section with approx 40 stairs, the tower has no lift.
- no phone service or wifi available (I overheard a staff member telling someone that Telstra is all that works)
- the fairy garden is very rundown but my 3yo LOVED it, her highlight for sure. They also gave her an activity book, lollipop & sticker.
- the height of the treetop walk is incredible. It’s so high! But you feel safe. The cantilever was swaying! The barriers are very high so little kids can’t see a lot.
- it was a very unique experience & I’m glad we went but wouldn’t rush back in a hurry.
- we drove 1.5 hours each way from Wye River. The drive was stunning.

On a wet windy day we hooked up and took to the fly.
A family of four took to the tree tops and had an awesome time. A shout out to the boys Jacko and Baz who made our trip all the more enjoyable in the gusts.
I never would have made it without Baz aka (Raymond) help you were a star

Awesome day for me & my daughter! Safety is obviously their number one priority,up there with having fun! The young guys running the zipline tours are exceptional...mature & professional.
The only complaint was the walk back up the hill at the end of the tour & that's my fault for being unfit!

The nature was beautiful but the managemnt of website and visitors was lacking.
Before leaving home we really were keen on the zipline. Website stated it was not available the day we were visiting. Sigh.
Very disappointing to arrive and find out it was in fact operating, however was now booked out. If website info had been correct we would have made efforts to book.
Found the walk experience overpriced for what it was.
Many noisy visitors with running, stomping children and no staff in the treetop area to advise and remind visitors of quiet rules.

Hello
My family are visiting next March and we already have a motorhome booked.
We would very much like to visit Otway Fly but I understand from the website that the road leading to it is unsuitable for a motorhome.
I am planning on staying in Apollo Bay and wondered if there was a shuttle bus/town bus that goes there or if it will simply be a taxi from our campsite? If it is a taxi any idea on cost? Thank you

Hi Rebecca,
It is possible to drive your Motorhome to the Otway Fly site, but you will need to plan your trip to go round about from Apollo Bay as the direct road from town goes through a National Park and is very treacherous (40kph all the way with lots of braking and very narrow). It is a beautiful drive going the long way around and worth stopping for the occasional sight-seeing. I am sure you will love the trip and adventure of moving away from the Great Ocean Road for this special day with the gnomes in Otway Fly park among their tree homes. Have a great trip and ENJOY.

Rebecca, you can take your motor home to the Otway Fly if your drive there from Apollo Bay via Lavers Hill. The route that is unsuitable for a motor home takes you via Turtons Track and you should avoid this direction. Give yourself a good hour to get there to get there.

We would like to get a rough idea of the temperature in March and general weather conditions.

March - autumn. Mid 20 degrees perhaps. Very unpredictable

I have a small fear of heights and truly dislike roller coasters because of that stomach dropping feeling they give you- hence why I do not go on them. I have never zip lined before but I think it would be a great experience. My question is: does the zip line go so fast to the point where you get that stomach dropping experience? How long is the so line trip? I understand you can stop the line with a hand brake. As long as it doesn't go super fast I think I can deal with the height. Any feedback would be appreciated.

No, the zipline doesn't go so fast that you get the stomach dropping feeling at all.
The experience is approximately 2 hours and time goes by extremely quickly.
You don't stop the line with a hand brake whilst flying along, it is used at the end of each line from tree to tree.
It doesn't go superfast and the height isn't too bad at all. Being in such a beautiful area, you don't notice the height whatsoever.
Would thoroughly recommend it !

Hi we are coming to see relatives there next week from the UK and they are booking us to visit you, is it not advisable for me to book on the zip line as I have limited strength in my arms due to neck surgery? Many thanks

This does involve being strapped into a restrictive harness, So I won't advise you taking the risk.

hi, does it cost anything if your driving down there yourself and go to do the walk? and also do you have to book in if your doing it by yourself?

The Tree-Top-Walk is an enclosed National Forestry Park thus you cannot hike within that location. However there are surrounding area you & your team can hike (you need further research on that option).
However, even paying for the expensive entrance fee, you will find it is a life-the worth-while visit (especially for overseas tourist like me).
Don't miss this as I had done one tree-top-walk at location near Albany (Western Australia), and this one is better.

Some friends of mine are planning to do this walk and were inquiring if it is common to see koalas during the walk or in the area.
