    What to Expect
    Open daily from 9am - last trip departs the Cable Bay Adventure Park base at 4:00pm - Allow 1 hour round trip from the base cafe. Flyers must be at least 1.2 metres tall, child rates apply for children aged 15 and under.  

    The Skywire is set 300 metres above the base cafe and includes a 4km mini-bus journey up through the park to the launch platform of the Skywire.  The ride takes up to 4 people at a time, seated side by side, strapped into individual racing car style seats with 5 point harnesses and takes approximately 10 minutes.

    The Skywire is weather dependent - won't operate in heavy rain or high winds. Bookings not always essential but highly recommended in the busy summer season.
