The Otway Fly has introduced abseiling from Tower 15 on its tree top canopy walk. Visitors can take in the beautiful views of the ancient rainforest , then abseil 25 metres down to the rain forest floor.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s an exhilarating experience and is a first for tree top walks\u201d says Elaine Burridge, General Manager. \u201cWe wanted to bring a new attraction to the area and had the perfect opportunity to add another element to the Otway Fly experience\u201d.<\/p>\n
Tower 15 is on the “off” ramp of the Fly. Guests can experience the walk with the 47m tower and cantilever, then drop off the Fly onto the track on the return to the visitor centre. <\/p>\n
The first guest said \u201cI was so excited to be the first person to take off from the Otway Fly and am definitely going to bring my friends to give it a go, it\u2019s amazing!\u201d <\/p>\n
Westcoast Adventures will conduct the abseiling and have been operating since 1993. They\u2019re well known for providing adventure activities and have introduced thousands of people to the exciting recreational activities in the area.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re passionate about educating people about the rainforest and have many programs in place for schools, universities, corporate teams and social clubs. Part of the education is experiencing the rainforest and it\u2019s a good way for people to have fun and want to help us preserve this beautiful asset.\u201d says Burridge. <\/p>\n
Westcoast Adventure\u2019s staff have a genuine love of the outdoors and are passionate about preserving the outdoors for future generations. They\u2019re experienced and qualified, and enjoy sharing their experiences with others. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve teamed up with one of Australia\u2019s best qualified operators and the region will see great benefits\u201d says Burridge \u201cI can see this being a very popular activity, which has generated a lot of interest\u201d. <\/p>\n
You don\u2019t have to have any previous abseiling experience. The crew will put you in a safety harness and talk you through the simple instructions.<\/p>\n
