VALLEY OF THE GIANTS TREETOP WALK

The Valley of the Giants Tree Top Walk is an internationally recognised nature-based tourism attraction, located in Australia’s South West, giving you a bird’s eye view of some of the biggest timber giants on Earth – Western Australia’s majestic tingle trees.

Climbing 40 metres into the forest canopy and meandering through the treetops for 600 metres, the walk trail is the first of its kind, designed to maximise views and minimise impact. This peaceful and exhilarating experience can be encountered 15 minutes east of Walpole, on Western Australia’s South coast.

The Tree Top Walk sits within the Walpole-Nornalup National Park and Walpole Wilderness, offering spectacular views over densely forested hills. Descending to the boardwalks below to explore the Ancient Empire Walk, you’ll enter a grove of towering veteran tingle trees. These giant eucalypts are found nowhere else in Australia, or on Earth as a matter of fact, and some have been standing for more than 400 years.

Cost Includes:

Admission to the Tree Top Walk and entry to the Ancient Empire and Discovery Centre is free. 

Opening Times:

Open daily from 9.00am to 4.15pm - allow at least 90 minutes to enjoy this experience.

NOTE: Child age 6-15yrs inclusive, under 5yrs free
