Loved it! - Loved this activity and the guide was great. Informative and interesting. And knowing the cost helps to fund great eco strategies.

Cable Bay Adrenaline Adventure. - From the moment I rang them, to booking, to changing our booking (on the day - sorry) they were friendly and more than helpful. 4 couples went and put our lives in their very capable hands. The drive to Cable Bay was awesome, very pleasant scenery. The facility itself was very cool, with a range of activities available. the ride up to the Skywire was an adventure in itself, and would be enough for some travelers', with beautiful native forest and absolutely spectacular views. But: then came the skywire!!! Wow, just wow! nearly 2 kilometers of adrenaline pumping, heart pounding fun. and then the return trip to where we started.... But wait, there is more! Then there was the drive back down, through the stunning forest, back to the cafe and base camp facility. The whole package was worth every cent we paid. Highly recommend this for anyone of any age.

Best experience ever! - I had so much fun gliding over the forest. The feeling of the wind hitting my face as I zoomed past the trees was incredible.

Great fun if you aren't looking for a huge adrenaline rush - Very friendly staff, the ride is family friendly, it's not a ton of adrenaline but it's very cool to be hanging so high up above the treeline. 🦋
