Strap into Australia’s longest, highest and fastest guided zipline and fly over Cedar Creek Gorge on Tamborine Mountain. The Canyon Flyer mixes high-speed zips, plank bridges and rainforest views into a three-hour, guide-led experience.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto the timber launch platform and the rainforest exhales around you — a humid, green breath that smells of damp leaf litter and flowering lilly pilly. Below, Cedar Creek Gorge cuts a serrated line through the canopy; ahead, seven steel cables gleam like a suspended highway. When the guide clips you in, the forest seems to lean forward with you. The first push sends you over the treetops: wind slaps your face, the valley opens, and for a breath you are a single thread connecting two ridge lines.

History
Tamborine Mountain is part of an ancient volcanic plateau whose flows shaped the gullies and ridgelines; the area lies within Yugambeh country and has long been used for seasonal food and resource gathering.
Conservation
Operators emphasize minimal-impact procedures and keep groups small to reduce canopy disturbance; stay on designated platforms and don’t feed wildlife.
