7.Tamborine Mountain: TreeTop Challenge Adventure Park

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 21 reviews · 3 hours · from $49Best value

Spend about three hours climbing through 8 high-rope courses at Tamborine Mountain’s TreeTop Challenge. You’ll tackle 140 obstacles and 13 ziplines, from gentle starter circuits to the demanding Black course. Staff provide training and high-grade safety gear, while a smart belay system keeps you attached as you climb at your own pace.

“There were different levels of difficulty for everyone to enjoy. It was a lot of fun and a good workout. Just take note that the meeting point stated on the map is incorrect. Be sure to go directly to Thunderbird Park. The reception is very poor up the mountain so best to save the route beforehand.”
