Rainforest Aerial Tram

Opened to the public in 1994, the Rainforest Aerial Tram was built by Don Perry, a biologist and pioneer in the field of rainforest canopy research. The tram moves along 2.6km/1.61mi, and features 22 cars that can carry five passengers as well as a naturalist guide. The project was built without any harm done to the rainforest.

The silent tram moves along just above the forest canopy.

Must-see attractions nearby:

The grounds cover 400ha/988ac of land that is a private reserve, and participants usually undertake a guided hike before riding the tram. Other trails are available for use for the duration of the day visit.

The vegetation in the reserve is very thick, and while several species have been recorded on the grounds observation is often difficult. Birds are most commonly spotted, and there are 300 species within the reserve.
