The most affordable adventure of a lifetime is just two hours from Sydney!
Scenic Skyway
Float on air in the Skyway! Nowhere else in the world can you experience this thrill. Take a ride on Skyway, 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-Sceni 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.
