Scenic Skyway
Float on air in the Skyway! Nowhere else in the world can you experience this thrill.
Skyway is a 720 meter journey 270m above ancient ravines and dazzling waterfalls.
You’ll be suspended over Jurassic rainforests as you glide smoothly across the sky.
This ride boasts a world first, state of the art Electro-Scenic Glass Floor. At the flip of a switch breath taking views are revealed through the cabin floor directly below.
The 360 degree birds eye view takes in the three sisters, Katoomba Falls, Mount Solitary and the never ending expanse of the Jamison Valley.
Scenic World's Scenic Skyway is now able to load and unload passengers at its new Eastern terminal.
The Scenic Skyway is $16 for adults (return) and $8 for kids (return). A family pass is $40.

The steepest aerial cable car in Australia! This will take you on a 510 metre ride into (or out of) the World Heritage Listed rainforest of the Jamison valley. Once at the bottom experience the 300m Scenic Walkway on your way to the base of the Scenic Railway. The Scenic Cableway can carry up to 84 passengers and is completely wheelchair accessible.
