Tourism in Tasmania has just got a little more exciting than ever before. A first for both Australia and Tasmania, Launceston hosts the opening of the first high-rope adventure tour.

Utilising the magnificent old and new growth Forests in and around the Hollybank area, which is located a short drive from Launceston to the North East, Hollybank Treetops Adventure, offers a unique and exhilarating adventure into this spectacular world.

The tour combines the adrenaline-rush of a high-wire canopy ride with an informative and highly entertaining outlook of the Forest.

Visitors arriving at the centre, deep in the Hollybank Eucalypt forest, are met by our expert guides, and introduced to the offering and fully briefed in all aspects of the adventure, its high safety standards and expectations for the 3-hour duration.

The adventure consists of a multi-stage, high wire ride in the tree canopy, far above the forest floor, the very best place to enjoy the wonders that this unique landscape can offer.

Every possible care has been taken to ensure no damage has been done to the forest or its trees and undergrowth, and the adventure is secured to the tree tops by a uniquely Australian method, that ensures no damage to the actual carrier tree.

Participants enjoy the Adventure in no more than 10 people per group, aided and guided by two highly qualified guides. A comprehensive overview of the forest provided by each of the resident guides, most of whom, are local inhabitants who have grown up in and around this extraordinary asset.

Each individual is supplied with a comprehensive high rope kit, comprising helmet, harness, and all attachments to secure the adventurer to the cables, this in turn is personalised to fit, by our guides, leaving the wearer comfortable and secure in this aid.

Hollybank Treetops Adventure is a 7-days-a-week activity, as venturing into the forest on either a bright, sunny day or an overcast, rain-filled day will bring different and exciting elements to the adventure.

Groups leave the centre at hourly intervals. The duration of the adventure is approximately 3 hours, after which you will arrive back at the centre and relax and share your experience with others in your group while enjoying the refreshments on sale.
